Subagiyo has an educational background of conservation sciences of Tokyo National Research Institute of Cultural Properties (TNRICP, Japan, 1989/90). Furthermore, Subagiyo completed professional experience - for both skill development and knowledge enhancement in the field of textile conservation - at the Conservation Analytical Laboratory of the Smithsonian Institution (CAL/SI, Washington D.C., 1991/ 92) and International Fabricare Institute (IFI, Maryland District, USA, 1992). He also has taken intensive courses on wood conservation, metal conservation, textile conservation, leather conservation, dye analysis, display materials and exhibitions, and other courses in his home country and abroad. Through research, Subagiyo and co-workers studied the gilded cloth (kain prada), mordanted cloth (for batik and jumputan), and metal threaded cloth (kelim/ tapestry, pilih, songket, sungkit, etc) at TNRICP of Japan. Then, Subagiyo accelerated the result at CAL/SI of Washington D.C. and the National Museum of Jakarta. He studied the crocking tests for Early Synthetic Dyes, the tensile strength of ‘prada’ binder, the ingredient ‘jangkang-kepuh’ of prada, and tested the color changing of Indonesian Natural Dyes. He actively writes articles and participates in the activities relating to conservation of cultural material in national, regional or international forums. This holder of ‘Unesco Fellowship Awards’ from 1989 to 1992 has taken a great opportunity in his field of discipline in the United States of America. He visited the conservation laboratories at museums of New York City, Harrisburg and Washington D.C. (i.e. Conservation Centre of NYU, Metropolitan Museum of Arts, National Gallery, Textile Museum, etc.). He demonstrated the para-red dyeing (which is principally similar to ‘mengkudu’ dyeing) at Carnegie Mellon College of Maryland; and took part in the physical examination of color changing of (astronout) spacesuits at Garber Facility, the National Air and Space Museum (NASA) at Washington D.C. Subagiyo has computer knowledge (PC and Macintosh), knows programs for word-processing, spread-sheets, (stand-alone, clients/server and web enabled) relational-databases, publishing, multimedia, web designing (internet) and networking. In his present post, Subagiyo is managing the collections of National Museum, the Jakarta Metropolitan Museums and the Presidential Palaces. He is now conducting the inventorial works in special databases and has established the inventory system with textual data and multimedia running on PC and Macintosh. His classification and his inventory system are directed toward research, conservation, exhibition, etc. Presently, Subagiyo and his colleagues works at a private conservation Primastoria Studio for textiles, paintings, metals, and most ethnographic objects. |
