Turner Contemporary – Progress Report/Land & Property Issues APPENDIX C (Agenda Item 3) TURNER CONTEMPORARY – PROGRESS REPORT/LAND & PROPERTY ISSUES To: Cabinet – 15 th July 2004 Main Portfolio Areas: Regeneration & Planning By: Regeneration Manager & Head of Environmental Services Classification: Unrestricted Ward: Central Margate Summary: To report overall progress on Turner Contemporary. To identify the anticipated impacts during the construction period and beyond. To seek authority for the transfer of land and property owned by Thanet District Council to KCC, as a contribution to the project subject to the inclusion of appropriate agreements to ensure the Council is consulted on future development proposals and that the local community have an opportunity to benefit from them. To agree that a project brief and plan be prepared for refurbishment of that part of the Stone Pier remaining in TDC ownership in order that it complements the Turner Contemporary development. For Decision/Recommendation to Full Council 1. Introduction and Background 1.1. This report is further to that submitted to full Council on 19 March 2003 concerning an application for a Transport and Works Act Order in connection with the new gallery. The Transport and Works Act Order application has now been submitted and Turner Contemporary is now at a stage where more detailed design is being progressed. It is now possible to identify detailed land and seabed requirements for the construction and operation of the project. 1.2. The Turner Contemporary proposal developed out of a local community initiative in the mid 1990s. Following consultations with the Tate, Thanet District Council commissioned a former Director of the IKON Gallery Birmingham to prepare development options. This led to Kent County Council taking up the project in close consultation with Thanet District Council. In 2001 TDC partnered KCC in the development of an international architecture competition to design the building. This attracted entries from Europe, Australia, Japan, Mexico and the United States. 1.3. The unanimous decision of the competition assessment panel (which included representatives of the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA), the Commission for Architecture and the Built Environment (CABE), the Tate, internationally respected Kent artists, and elected members of Thanet District Council and KCC) was that the best scheme was submitted by the Anglo-Norwegian architects Snøhetta and Spence. This was for an iconic building to be constructed on the seabed north of and accessed from the Stone Pier. 1.4. In May 2003 KCC was granted detailed planning consent and Listed Building Consent for Turner Contemporary by TDC as Local Planning Authority. The architects are now preparing the detailed internal and external designs and other elements and construction materials. The basic method of construction has now changed to that of a steel rather than concrete structure. This will result in a 9-month reduction in the construction period, reduced environmental impact and reduced maintenance costs. The implications of this from Planning, Building Regulations and Environmental Assessment points of view is currently being assessed by TDC’s Environmental Services team. Any requirements for further consents as a result of the changes in construction design will be brought before Members in the normal way. However, the basic concept of an iconic structure constructed on the seabed adjacent to the Stone Pier remains at the heart of the design. 1.5. The current programme for the project envisages: • that the marine construction works will commence in Spring 2005 for the gallery building. • The construction will be completed late in 2006. • Turner Contemporary will then be fitted out and will open to the public in Summer 2007. 1.6. In order for this programme to be met, a Transport and Works Act Order (TWO) application has been submitted to the Department for Transport (DfT). The TWO, once granted, will provide the necessary statutory consent to construct Turner Contemporary in navigable waters. 1.7. Regarding the content of the gallery, KCC issued a statement of intent in December 2003. This sets out: • The aspiration to have original JMW Turner works on display at all times • The guarantee that there will be one exhibition of original JMW Turner works for three months every year • The guarantee that there will be interpretation of JMW Turner at all times • The guarantee that there will be a rolling programme of high quality historic and contemporary visual art throughout each year, and • The commitment to continue the programme of education and outreach, using the gallery as a hub. 1.8 Turner Contemporary is one of the cornerstones of the Draft Central Margate Strategic Urban Design Framework (Margate Masterplan). The public engagement dialogue has recognised the potential for the Stone Pier, owned by TDC, in providing increased usage by both local people and visitors. If 200,000 people visit Turner Contemporary per year, a high percentage will want and expect to enjoy visiting the Stone Pier to benefit from views across the harbour, bay and town. It has sensibly been suggested that, if the Stone Pier is to be refurbished in recognition of its value to the townscape, this will best be achieved during the same construction phase as Turner Contemporary. 2. Project Development Costs 2.1 TDC is not being asked for cash contributions to either the capital development or revenue costs of Turner Contemporary. KCC has taken responsibility to develop Turner Contemporary Cabinet Report (Final 26 November, 2008) 2 the Turner Contemporary project, which is expected to cost approximately £25m. In addition, the revenue costs are expected to be about £1m per annum, which will be funded from a combination of income from catering, retail and corporate hospitality and sponsorship as well as by KCC and Arts Council England support. Turner Contemporary is to have free admission except for specific exhibitions, in order to enable as many local people as possible to benefit from the experience it will provide. 2.3 Previous evidence suggests that financial (and in kind) support for the capital, revenue and artistic programmes from foundations, trusts, corporations and individuals is available. However this will require dedicated expertise. Consultants, funded by the Arts Council of England (ACE), have completed a fundraising strategy for KCC. This will provide greater clarity on the approach needed over the next three years, the likely targets and the skills required to achieve the objectives. KCC is developing a model, which includes directly employing staff and commissioning external specialist advice, to maximise the fund raising opportunities. 3. Land and Property Contributions from TDC 3.1 KCC has requested that TDC confirms the in principle decision made by Cabinet on 31 st August 2000 that the freehold of the Droit House and Rendezvous site be transferred to KCC as a contribution in kind to the overall project, subject to completion of contractual and legal documentation and the matter being referred back to Members at the appropriate time. KCC has additionally requested that TDC conveys the freehold of the sea bed directly under the gallery building, together with leases and rights of way over relevant portions of the Stone Pier and the water between the Stone Pier and the gallery. All the land and property to be transferred to KCC would be at nil cost. 3.2 The areas required by KCC together with the basis for the transfer (either freehold or leasehold) are shown in the attached plan at Annexe 1 . The areas of operational use required by KCC during the construction phase of the project are shown in the attached plan at Annexe 2 . 3.3 The Droit House was valued by TDC’s Principal Valuer in January 2004 at £72,000. The Rendezvous site (including Droit House and the RNLI building) has been valued as at 1 st April 2004 by the District Valuer at £1,000,000. Transfer of this land and property, if agreed, will result in all future maintenance of the land and property transferred being borne by KCC. 3.4 Droit House has been used by KCC as a visitor centre for the Turner project as well as for the regeneration of the Old Town. This is being continued and improved following a recent refit of Droit House by KCC. During the gallery construction period, Droit House will display interpretative material relating to the construction as well as to the arts programme being offered by Turner Contemporary. In addition, this display sets Turner Contemporary in the context of the regeneration activity in the town. Droit House is then to become the point of public access for Turner Contemporary, the building being connected via a covered walkway to the building on the Pier, which will contain the entrance to the gallery, restaurant and shop. This building will in turn connect to the gallery building via a fully-enclosed two-level bridge. 3.5 Parts of the Rendezvous site are required for car parking associated with Turner Contemporary, and this has been included in the planning consent. The rest of the site is considered as a development site within the Central Margate Strategic Urban Design Framework (Margate Masterplan). The Framework allows for the retention of the RNLI building and yacht club use as well as for the potential development of a Turner Contemporary Cabinet Report (Final 26 November, 2008) 3 multi-storey car park, hotel, residential, leisure and workspace development. Positive discussions are continuing between TDC and KCC officers and Margate Yacht Club to consider how best to accommodate the Club’s requirements within the rendezvous site. 3.6 The investigations carried out by Cluttons as part of the development of the Framework suggests that the development potential of Rendezvous is long-term and will need to be phased over several years. Cluttons have indicated that the potential for development in the short-term is low due to the high costs of construction and the likely relatively low values of completed buildings.

  • JMW Turner to Appear on the Next £20 Banknote
    Press Office Threadneedle Street London EC2R 8AH T 020 7601 4411 F 020 7601 5460 press@bankofengland.co.uk www.bankofengland.co.uk 22 April 2016 J.M.W. Turner to appear on the next £20 banknote Today, Bank of England Governor, Mark Carney, announced that J.M.W. Turner will appear on the next £20 banknote due to be issued by 2020. At the announcement at Turner Contemporary in Margate, the Governor revealed the image of Turner that will be used on the note. The selection of Turner is the first time the Bank of England has used the more open and transparent character selection process announced in December 2013. The process began in early 2015 with the formation of the Banknote Character Advisory Committee which as its first act selected the visual arts field. This was followed by a two month nomination period in summer 2015 during which members of the public could suggest a figure from the visual arts. The Bank received 29,701 nominations covering 590 eligible characters. The Committee, with input from public focus groups, then produced a shortlist which it discussed in detail with the Governor who made the final decision. Commenting on the decision, the Governor said: “I am delighted to announce that J.M.W. Turner has been chosen to appear on the next £20 note. Turner is perhaps the single most influential British artist of all time. His work was transformative, bridging the classical and modern worlds. His influence spanned his lifetime and is still apparent today. Turner bequeathed this painting to the nation, an example of his important contribution to British society.

  • COMMUNITIES DIRECTORATE Turner Contemporary ANNUAL
    COMMUNITIES DIRECTORATE Turner Contemporary ANNUAL OPERATING PLAN 2008/09 Director: Amanda Honey Unit Manager: Victoria Pomery SECTION ONE - SERVICE PROFILE PURPOSE OF THE SERVICE Turner Contemporary’s mission is: To celebrate JMW Turner’s association with Margate in order to promote an understanding and enjoyment of historical and contemporary art – an accessible means of expression that enriches everyone’s live. In so doing, it will be a positive force in the social, economic, and cultural regeneration of Thanet and East Kent. Turner Contemporary is a major project that is featured specifically in a number of strategic documents including Vision for Kent: Theme 9: Enjoying Life in Kent and Towards 2010 (target 27). It is also one of the Local Investment Cornerstones in Thanet identified in “What Price Growth” Turner Contemporary is part of the Communities Directorate, and is working with Service Units within the Directorate, such as the Arts Development Unit, and with key strategic partners including Thanet District Council, Arts Council England (ACE) and the South East England Development Agency (SEEDA). It is also working in partnership with other arts providers, including Tate, as well as with schools, Further and Higher Education providers. Education in the broadest sense is critical to Turner Contemporary's ethos and encompasses a wide range of people involved in formal and informal learning environments. At the heart of the project are two major strands - the building of the new gallery itself and a public arts programme of wide ranging exhibitions, talks and events, and out-reach work. This programme is already into its sixth year and a new building will enable significantly increased delivery as well a high profile focus and stimulus for the development of skills and training opportunities and cultural regeneration.

  • Mark Carney: £20 Note Character Selection Announcement
    Mark Carney: £20 note character selection announcement Speech by Mr Mark Carney, Governor of the Bank of England and Chairman of the Financial Stability Board, Turner Contemporary Gallery, Margate, 22 April 2016. * * * Though I’m surrounded by sublime art and architecture, typically for a Governor of the Bank of England, I want to begin by talking about money. Throughout history money has come in many forms – gold and silver coins; English “tally sticks” made of willow; even stone disks of up to twelve feet in diameter, pocket change on the Pacific island of Yap. It’s true; a Yap stone makes up part of the reserves of the Bank of Canada. Such variety has meant economists have struggled to define money. The Nobel Prize- winning economist, John Hicks, simply wrote “money is what money does.”1 Wisdom or sophistry? There’s a bit of Popeye or Forrest Gump in that.2 But what does money do? To some, banknotes are mere “barren tokens.”3 These meagre pieces of paper – soon to be polymer – of no intrinsic value, actually serve vital economic functions. They facilitate trade. They store value. They serve as a unit of account. As the soon-to-be replaced incumbent of our £20 note, Adam Smith, wrote, they are the “universal instrument of commerce.”4 Most fundamentally, Money is Memory.5 Money supplants the need to keep track of promises to exchange goods and services across time; it is a simple, universal replacement for detailed record keeping. Money is memory in another sense. It bridges time. The money we spend today could have been earned from past accomplishments or could be borrowed from future ones.

  • Whitechapel Gallery Art Icon 2021
    Whitechapel Gallery Art Icon 2021 Yinka Shonibare CBE RA Foreword By Nadja Swarovski The Swarovski Foundation is delighted to join the Whitechapel Gallery in honouring Yinka Shonibare with the 2021 Art Icon Award. Shonibare’s work is exuberant, bold and strikingly beautiful and his subject matter is wide ranging and international. But while the artist’s tableaux explore issues such as race, colonialism and identity, they are never po-faced. Instead they are riotously colourful and often wickedly funny. His theatrical body of work encompasses sculpture, painting, photography, film, tapestries and public works – and regardless of medium, his art exerts an emotional punch. The common thread in Shonibare’s powerful visual storytelling is his desire to challenge assumptions and stereotypes, and this impulse is reflected in his philanthropic programmes. As founder of the Yinka Shonibare Foundation, he has sought to promote artistic and cultural exchange between Africa and the rest of the world, and his pioneering Guest Projects initiative in East London has offered free studio space to emerging and established artists of every stripe for many years. We commend Shonibare for his generosity of spirit and his dedication to supporting younger generations of artists, a mission that the Swarovski Foundation shares in its commitment to nurturing creative talent through scholarships at leading design schools and its partnerships with cultural institutions such as the Whitechapel Gallery. Our warmest congratulations go to Yinka Shonibare, a brilliant and inspiring Art Icon for our times and a humanitarian who believes in the power of art to transform people’s lives. His artistic and philanthropic legacy will endure for years to come.

  • Turner Twenty Pound Note
    Date 10.10.2019 Turner’s House celebrates unveiling of the new £20 The new £20 featuring J.M.W. Turner and his work was unveiled today by The Bank of England, to which Turner’s House Trust has responded by planning a series of events in 2020 to celebrate. It was announced this morning that the new note, which will be printed on polymer, will be issued on 20 February 2020. The design will feature: o J.M.W. Turner’s self-portrait, painted c. 1799 and currently on display in Tate Britain. o Turner’s painting The Fighting Temeraire; a tribute to the ship HMS Temeraire which played a decisive role in Nelson’s victory at the Battle of Trafalgar in 1805. In 2005, it was voted Britain’s greatest painting in a BBC poll. o The quote - “Light is therefore colour” from an 1818 lecture by Turner referring to his innovative use of light, shade, colour and tone in his pictures. o Turner’s signature from his Will, the document with which he bequeathed many of his paintings to the nation. The Bank’s Governor, Mark Carney, said, “Our banknotes celebrate the UK’s heritage, salute its culture, and testify to the achievements of its most notable individuals. And so, it is with the new £20 banknote, featuring JMW Turner, launched today at Turner Contemporary in Margate. Turner’s contribution to art extends well beyond his favourite stretch of shoreline. Turner’s painting was transformative, his influence spanned lifetimes, and his legacy endures today. The new £20 note celebrates Turner, his art and his legacy in all their radiant, colourful, evocative glory.” Turner designed his house in Twickenham, his only 3D artwork, and enjoyed it as his rural retreat at the time he made the famous quote about light.

  • Light Is Therefore Colour: Remarks at the Launch of the New £20 Banknote
    Light is therefore Colour: Remarks at the launch of the new £20 banknote Speech given by Mark Carney, Governor of the Bank of England Turner Contemporary Gallery, Margate 10 October 2019 I would like to thank Clare Macallan for her assistance in preparing these remarks and Lizzie Levett and Lisa Young for providing background information. 1 All speeches are available online at www.bankofengland.co.uk/news/speeches It is a pleasure to be back at Turner Contemporary in Margate to unveil the new £20 banknote featuring JMW Turner. Banknote character Turner was a frequent visitor to Margate, drawn by “the skies over Thanet”, which he held to be “the loveliest in all Europe”. The East Kent coast inspired more than 100 of his works and this gallery stands on the site of Mrs Booth’s seafront guesthouse, where Turner stayed whenever he visited. Turner’s contribution to art extends well beyond this stretch of shoreline. He was precocious – exhibiting at the Royal Academy at 15, and becoming an Academician at 24 – as well as prolific, producing more than 550 oil paintings, 2,000 watercolours, and 30,000 sketches and drawings. Turner is rightly celebrated for his unique ability to capture light and highly varied atmospheric effects through use of vibrant colour and flowing brushwork; he often went to extremes in pursuit of the visceral artistic experience. His paintings blaze with the heat of the sun, shimmer in moonshine, and rumble under the weight of gathering storm clouds. These works transformed the field of landscape art. Before Turner, landscapes were generally viewed as subjects unworthy in their own right; their role was merely to provide backdrop to the real action.
