The explorative study has been carried out by CREARE – Centre for REseach in ARts and Economics in collaboration with the Erasmus School of History Culture and Communication (ESHCC) – Erasmus University Rotterdam on the invitation of the International Film Festival Rotterdam (IFFR). We have worked on this report from May 2013 to March 2014. It has been a challenging and sometimes demanding research project. Nevertheless, we have worked on it with great pleasure and enthusiasm. The research team thanks Janneke Staarink and Peter Schuiten for all the inspiring conversations and support, Ieva Rozentale and Prijateya Kotipalli for their contributions to the initial phase of the project, and last but not least the persons and organizations that responded to our questions and requests for information: Raad for Kunst en Kultuur Rotterdam, Museum Boijmans van Beuningen, International Film Festival Rotterdam, Kunsthal Rotterdam and Rotterdam Philharmonic Orchestra. It would not have been possible to complete the study in time without their quick response, professional comments and advice.

Focus on four potential cultural icons 28 Conclusions 37 References 42 4 Introduction A cultural brand: platform for Rotterdam In times of crisis, cultural organizations around the world have to reconsider every aspect of their activities. As a result of subsidy cuts at all levels of governments, decreased consumer spending, and other negative impacts on revenue streams, many cultural organizations are forced to develop fewer projects (events, exhibitions, and other types of activities) if not close down. These changes influence not only the quantity but also the quality of the cultural offer in a certain geographic area. The “economization” of the cultural realm within the research and policy discourses during the past two decades has resulted in the availability of a large amount of empirical evidence. It confirms the vital importance of the cultural sphere not only in terms of artistic development, but also with respect to social and even more so economic development of a city, region or nation state. Nevertheless, the relationships between cultural organizations and their main stakeholders have mostly remained unchanged. Cultural organizations are generally in the position of a debtor instead of a quid pro quo partner. This is also the case in the Netherlands and more specifically in Rotterdam. In every city, and Rotterdam is no exception, there are cultural organizations, whose legitimacy should be undisputed. They are crucial for the cultural field of the city with respect to its inhabitants as well as its existing and potential visitors and investors. This research looks into the potential of a collaboration between the large, iconic cultural organizations of Rotterdam to represent the cultural field. It does so by investigating the basis for creating such a “cultural brand”, which we have called “Rotterdam’s Cultural Icons”. This project evolves around the idea that there is a need for reinventing the rules which determine relationships between the cultural organizations and their financiers. We argue that this is possible by mobilizing some of the most important cultural actors of a city to join forces 5 in order to develop a strong “cultural brand”. The “brand” approach is a relative young one in the arts and cultural sector, but some of the most iconic cultural organizations in the world have managed to develop strong “cultural brands” (e.g. TATE), some of which have even exported them (e.g. Louvre, Sonar, Guggenheim). We reason that iconic cultural organizations in Rotterdam with an already clear and strong brand can collaborate and create a “cultural brand” for the entire city of Rotterdam. In an era of fierce global competition among cities, this “cultural brand” can become one of the most important assets of Rotterdam to stand out. Although several studies in the past have acknowledged the contribution of the arts and culture to the economy of Rotterdam (e.g. Borg, van der and Russo, 2005; Trip and Romein, 2009), these have also stressed that the potential is not fully achieved, partly due to a lack of social embedding and involvement from the private stakeholders. The engagement of private stakeholders is still ad hoc and una tantum , while there is a need for sustainable long-term commitment. Now it is time for cultural organizations to take the lead in this matter, which makes it crucial to invest in a strong “cultural brand”. The brand “Rotterdam’s Cultural Icons” would entail the creation of a platform to allow the icons to (re)negotiate the relationships with old and new stakeholders, to raise additional funds for their activities, as well as to involve other actors (smaller organizations, interested individuals, the government, businesses, etc.) to work together on new solutions for strengthening the entire cultural offer in the city of Rotterdam. The main argument is that, thanks to the “Rotterdam’s Cultural Icons”, the entire arts and cultural sector in Rotterdam will gain in terms of visibility, involvement of different stakeholders and diversification of financial sources. In addition, the “cultural brand” can be used and included in the city marketing and branding of the whole city of Rotterdam, with clear benefits in terms of both city’s image and identity. This will in turn raise and reinforce the awareness of the role and potential of the entire cultural sector for the city of Rotterdam. 6 Structure of the report The report is research-based and problem-oriented, uniting academic researchers and the cultural sector in order to explore three main questions: 1. What are the impacts of the arts and culture in cities across Europe? 2. What constitutes Rotterdam’s Cultural Icons? 3. What is the potential contribution of the Rotterdam’s Cultural Icons? The research is carried out in three consecutive phases, each corresponding to one of the above-outlined question categories. Phase 1: An exploration of the impacts of the arts and culture in cities across Europe In the first phase of the project, we gathered, reviewed and summarized relevant research, literature and other sources on the contribution of the arts and culture as well as on case studies about collaboration among cultural organizations and other stakeholders in selected cities across Europe. Our argument is that collaborating cultural organizations and the development of a “cultural brand” have the potential to amplify the contribution that the arts and culture can have on a city. Phase 2: Potential cultural icons in Rotterdam The second phase of the project aims at selecting iconic cultural organizations that have the potential to become the “Rotterdam’s Cultural Icons” or in other words the “cultural brand” of Rotterdam. Several criteria were used to select them. First we took into consideration only cultural organizations that receive public funding from the city government, present in the Cultuurplan 2013-2016 . Second, we looked into the (inter)national appeal and attention, in terms of presence in selected travel guides and number of (inter)national visits. Our aim is to select cultural organizations that have (potential for) (inter-)national appeal, rather than a purely local character. While the selection process requires some quantitative measures, there was no intention of making a ranking among cultural organizations. For the following phase of the study, we needed to zoom into a few of the potential icons at the top of the list as a proxy of high (inter)national appeal and attention. 7 Phase 3: Focus on four potential cultural icons The third phase of the project zooms into four cultural icons in order to explore their potential contribution to the city, their relation with different stakeholders and the scope for collaboration – in other words the potential of the brand/platform “Rotterdam’s Cultural Icons”.

  • Chabot Museum
    cultuurplanadvies 2021-2024 chabot museum Samenvatting van het advies Beoordeling van de aanvraag De Raad beoordeelt het beleidsplan van Chabot Museum positief. De aanvrager heeft een analytisch en goed onderbouwd plan geformuleerd dat vertrouwen wekt. Het museum heeft een goede positie in het culturele veld en in de stad. Het is zich bewust van zijn nichepositie en biedt tegelijkertijd een hoge belevingswaarde. Geadviseerd subsidiebedrag De Raad adviseert de gevraagde subsidie van € 120.000 toe te kennen omdat het plan van goede kwaliteit is, de bedrijfsvoering professioneel en het aandeel van de subsidie in de financieringsmix laag is. De Raad adviseert het deel van het gevraagde bedrag dat meer is dan de huidige subsidie te koppelen aan de uitwerking van de plannen voor de buitenprogrammering. Samenvatting van de aanvraag geschreven door de instelling Het Chabot Museum als museum voor internationaal expressionisme bevindt zich in een fase van groei op alle terreinen. Sinds 2018 is het bezoekersaantal bijna verdubbeld van 12.500 naar 22.000 bezoekers per jaar in 2019. Educatie en cultuuronderwijs nemen een centrale plaats in en dragen bij aan een enorme toename in bereik. De rondleidingen die in weekenden worden aangeboden in de Van Nellefabriek UNESCO Werelderfgoed samen met Urban Guides, in combinatie met gratis busvervoer en bezoek aan het Chabot Museum (en Huis Sonneveld) zijn opgeschaald naar 6 en incidenteel naar 12 per weekend. Daarnaast is door langlopende tentoonstellingen met investering in PR en (content)marketing, waaronder de tentoonstellingen in kader van ‘Boijmans bij de buren’, een toename van circa 4.000 bezoekers gerealiseerd. Projectbijdragen van de Stichting Droom en Daad hebben dit mogelijk gemaakt.

  • DIRECTIEVERSLAG 2020 Inleiding Stichting Droom En Daad Werkt Aan
    DIRECTIEVERSLAG 2020 Inleiding Stichting Droom en Daad werkt aan het verfijnen van haar visie en vervullen van haar missie: een mooier en aantrekkelijker Rotterdam door te investeren in kunst en cultuur. Hierbij kijkt de Stichting met extra aandacht naar talentontwikkeling, de publieke ruimte en het revitaliseren van cultureel erfgoed. De activiteiten van Stichting Droom en Daad hebben in het jaar 2020 grotendeels in het teken gestaan van de uitbraak van de COVID-19 pandemie. Talentontwikkeling Op gebieden variërend van klassieke muziek tot hiphop en van architectuur tot beeldende kunst is er (jong) talent in Rotterdam. Stichting Droom en Daad wil een bijdrage leveren om dit talent tot wasdom te brengen. Dat doet Stichting Droom en Daad onder andere door bij te dragen aan het Batavierhuis, Big Idea, het RIDCC, de Heerenhuyskamerconcerten en het ICCR. Al deze -en meer- activiteiten zijn door de COVID-19 pandemie in aangepaste vorm doorgegaan of afgelast en waar mogelijk verschoven naar 2021. Mede als gevolg van de COVID-19 pandemie heeft de Stichting een aantal nieuwe en eenmalige initiatieven – op het gebied van talentontwikkeling – gesteund. Publieke ruimte De publieke ruimte draagt bij tot een prettig leefklimaat en een positieve beleving van de stad voor zowel bezoekers als bewoners. Eind 2020 heeft de Stichting twee beelden aangekocht die komend jaar in de Rotterdamse buitenruimte worden geplaatst. Revitaliseren Rotterdams cultureel erfgoed Stichting Droom en Daad zet zich in om het Rotterdamse culturele erfgoed te behouden en te revitaliseren. Niet door er een stolp overheen te plaatsen, maar door er opnieuw leven in te blazen. Het Batavierhuis, de Fenix en de Doopsgezinde kerk zijn aangekocht door de Stichting en hebben reeds of krijgen in de komende jaren een nieuwe bestemming.

  • Six Canonical Projects by Rem Koolhaas
    5 Six Canonical Projects by Rem Koolhaas has been part of the international avant-garde since the nineteen-seventies and has been named the Pritzker Rem Koolhaas Architecture Prize for the year 2000. This book, which builds on six canonical projects, traces the discursive practice analyse behind the design methods used by Koolhaas and his office + OMA. It uncovers recurring key themes—such as wall, void, tur montage, trajectory, infrastructure, and shape—that have tek structured this design discourse over the span of Koolhaas’s Essays on the History of Ideas oeuvre. The book moves beyond the six core pieces, as well: It explores how these identified thematic design principles archi manifest in other works by Koolhaas as both practical re- Ingrid Böck applications and further elaborations. In addition to Koolhaas’s individual genius, these textual and material layers are accounted for shaping the very context of his work’s relevance. By comparing the design principles with relevant concepts from the architectural Zeitgeist in which OMA has operated, the study moves beyond its specific subject—Rem Koolhaas—and provides novel insight into the broader history of architectural ideas. Ingrid Böck is a researcher at the Institute of Architectural Theory, Art History and Cultural Studies at the Graz Ingrid Böck University of Technology, Austria. “Despite the prominence and notoriety of Rem Koolhaas … there is not a single piece of scholarly writing coming close to the … length, to the intensity, or to the methodological rigor found in the manuscript

Dat proces kent een aantal stappen: van een strategische verkenning van de mogelijkheden en voorkeuren via externe validatie naar een onderbouwde keuze en het schrijven van een Beleidsplan voor de komende periode. De eerste fase omvat een verkenning van de meningen en visies van de externe omgeving van het museum: de belangrijkste stakeholders, deskundigen, culturele instellingen, museale collega’s en betrokken publiek. Hoe denken zij over het Wereldmuseum en welke toekomst past daar volgens hen het beste bij? Deze verkenning dient als basis voor de besluitvorming binnen de Raad van Toezicht over een toekomstig profiel en richting.

  • Codarts Research Festival, That Will Take Place on Thursday 11 March 2021
    Dear reader, A wholehearted welcome to the fifth edition of the Codarts Research Festival, that will take place on Thursday 11 March 2021. Due to the continuing covid-19 pandemic this will be an online event, with live streamed presentations in ZOOM 1, and online presentations in ZOOM 2. This year's edition has a distinct RASL*) -flavor, as the theme is ‘Social engagement and the Arts.’ As the ‘traditional’ jobs in the arts are under increased pressure, and our society is faced by seemingly insurmountable problems, like climate change and pollution, but also social disintegration and loneliness, many artists feel the need to reposition themselves and look for ways to contribute. The covid-19 pandemic has made these problems even more acute. The Research Festival will address these issues, with (inter)national speakers from the world of dance, music and theater, next to a variety of research presentations from Codarts students and staff. And you are invited to caste your vote for the audience award during the annual Master research competition. *) RASL is the Rotterdam Arts and Science Lab. An intense collaboration between Codarts Rotterdam, Arts & Culture Studies (EUR), Erasmus University College (EUR) and Willem de Kooning Academy, with the aim to examine the relationship between the arts and society in a transdisciplinary way. If you haven’t done so already, we kindly request you to register for the Festival using this link: https://codarts.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJIoc-ytpz0tGt2-wNg97GnMHAcBsoMGKw6A Upon registration you will receive a confirmation and the ZOOM link plus password that gives you access to the Festival on the day itself.
