Iedereen kent dat gevoel, na een bijzonder boek, of HHQELM]RQGHUHÀOPPXVHXPJHGLFKWYXOPDDULQ “Dit was zó goed, dit moet ik anderen vertellen. Deze ervaring wens ik iedereen toe.” Met precies dat gevoel van ontdekking en plaatsvervangende blijdschap wil de Turing Foundation mensen laten genieten van kunst. Want de ervaring die hoort bij het zien van een buitengewoon kunstwerk wensen wij iedereen toe.
Focus bleek nodig. Onze wereldomvattende doelstelling “mensen laten genieten van kunst” resulteerde al snel in aanvragen van mimespelers uit Noorwegen en buikdanseressen uit Vietnam. Daarom beperkt de Turing Foundation zich tegenwoordig tot poëzie, live muziek, en beeldende kunst. En tot Nederland.
Niet alleen kunst, maar genieten van kunst – het gaat dus om het publiek. De Turing Foundation steunt niet de kunstenaars zelf, laat staan mensen die kunstenaar willen worden. Maar als kunstenaars eenmaal iets prachtigs gemaakt hebben, willen we graag helpen om daar zoveel mogelijk mensen van te laten genieten. voorwoord (vervolg op pagina 6)
4 Enjoying Art
Everybody knows that feeling after an extraordinary ERRNDQH[WUDRUGLQDU\ÀOPPXVHXPSRHPZKDWHYHU “This was so wonderful, I simply have to tell others about this. I wish everyone could experience this”. It’s this exact feeling of discovery and vicarious happiness that makes the Turing Foundation wants to let people enjoy art.
Focus proved a necessity. Our all-encompassing objective to ‘let people enjoy art’ soon resulted in applications from Norwegian mime players and belly dancers from Vietnam. The Turing Foundation therefore decided to limit itself to poetry, live music and the visual arts. And to the Netherlands.
Not just art, but enjoying art – so it’s about the audience. The Turing Foundation does not support artists, let alone people aspiring to become artists. But if an artist has created something truly wonderful, we’re happy to help make sure it will be enjoyed by as many people as possible. (continued on page 8) preface
5 De Turing Foundation is opgericht als een “grant maker”, een vermogensfonds dat geld schenkt aan andermans initiatieven, zowel op het gebied van kunst DOVRSRQ]HDQGHUHGULHZHUNWHUUHLQHQ OHSUDEHVWULMGLQJ natuurbescherming, en onderwijs in ontwikkelingslanden. Maar met name op het gebied van kunst heeft de Turing Foundation in de loop der tijd een aantal eigen initiatieven ontplooid.
Zo is er de Turing Nationale Gedichtenwedstrijd, open voor deelname door iedereen boven de 16 die in staat is een gedicht in de Nederlandse taal te produceren. Voor de tweede editie, afgelopen januari, werden bijna 10,000 gedichten ingezonden.
Zo is er ook de Turing Toekenning, een grote prijs (€450.000) die eens per twee jaar wordt toegekend aan het beste tentoonstellingsplan van alle meedingende Nederlandse musea. De bedoeling is dat deze prijs de ambities van musea tot grotere hoogten stuwt. Musea investeren zoveel liefde en moeite in hun inzendingen, dat ze de plannen zelfs na het niet winnen van de Turing Toekenning toch gaan uitvoeren, hoewel ze voorwoord oorspronkelijk te ambitieus en te duur werden geacht om zonder zo´n meevaller van een half miljoen euro 6 uit te voeren. Dit geldt zeker voor de genomineerden tweede bus opgetuigd om kinderen uit de omgeving van van de vorige Turing Toekenning.

The name of the foundation honours Alan Turing (1912-1954), the British scientist who is regarded by many as the founder of modern computer science. Turing has always been one of the heroes of our founder, Pieter Geelen. When Geelen and a friend who studied computer science together started a company in 1991, they named it the Turing Machine Company. In 2005 this company was renamed TomTom and it was listed on the Dutch stock exchange. From the proceeds of that IPO, Pieter and Françoise Geelen donated €100 million to the foundation. Upon the formation, they chose four objectives for the foundation’s grantmaking: nature conservation, education, art and leprosy research. Nature conservation and education projects supported focus on developing countries (primarily in Africa); art projects supported take place in the Netherlands. The donation budget is determined on an annual basis and amounted to a maximum of €4,15 million in 2010. Since it was founded in July 2006, the Turing Foundation has made donations or allocated donations for multi-year projects totalling €19,384,851. 14 1.2 Vision and Mission our projects, large and small. Although our four grant The Turing Foundation aims to make a valuable making objectives are quite far apart, we believe that contribution to a better world and a better society, now organisations and people can learn from each other and and in the future. Our main activity is to allocate funds may help each other across boundaries. on projects which contribute to this objective. Our grant making policy focuses exclusively on projects within 1.3 Statutory Objectives WKHIRXUFDWHJRULHVPHQWLRQHG QDWXUHFRQVHUYDWLRQDQG The Turing Foundation has included the following education in developing countries (mainly in Africa), GHÀQLWLRQRIWKHIRFXVIRULWҋVJUDQWPDNLQJLQWKHDUWLFOHV painting, poetry and classical music in the Netherlands, RIDVVRFLDWLRQ HQDEOLQJHQFRXUDJLQJDQGVXSSRUWLQJ and leprosy research. We do not initiate or execute education to children and youngsters all over the world; projects ourselves, but work towards their realisation via conserving nature in developing countries; supporting (Dutch) partner organisations. and promoting art and culture in the Netherlands; eliminating leprosy and helping leprosy victims. The Turing Foundation realises its objectives by 7KHVWDWXWRU\REMHFWLYHVRIWKH7XULQJ)RXQGDWLRQDUH cooperating with partner organisations which carry out SURYLGLQJÀQDQFLDODQGRWKHUVXSSRUWWRFKDULW\SURMHFWV projects in view of these same objectives. Apart from awarding grants, setting up or helping others set up funds that, we regularly approach organisations and sometimes or foundations and organising or helping others organise invite them to submit an application.

(WWF) and IUCN NL, the Netherlands branch of the World Conservation Union (IUCN), which is the global umbrella body for nature conservation organisations. After a number of successful projects in 2007, the Turing Foundation decided to establish a long-term partnership with the Small Grants Programme of IUCN NL. In years 2008–2010, the Turing Foundation UHVHUYHG½IRU,8&1SURMHFWVLQWKHÀHOGRI sustainable (organic) agriculture and cattle breeding in West Africa. The number of project donations depended on the number of suitable projects put forward by IUCN NL during those years. Out of these reserved funds, in total €730,000 was donated to Small Grants in West Africa during these three years. Although the collaboration with IUCN NL went very well, we will not continue this arrangement. IUCN NL will remain one of our future ‘preferred partners’. 24 Project Trip to Burkina Faso and Mali We learnt about the importance of lobbying and making In November 2010, Pieter and Françoise Geelen and agreements on the distribution of the natural resources Milou Halbesma made a project trip to Burkina Faso DWDOOOHYHOV$OVRLQWKHÀHOGRIHGXFDWLRQZHZHUH and Mali.

We are convinced that quality contributes to the enjoyment; the quality of the art itself, but also the way in which it is presented must be of the highest possible level. We like to support initiatives aimed especially at enjoyment by a large number of people and at reaching audiences that are not in the habit of visiting art exhibitions or concerts. Within the arts, we focus on: 1. Visual arts exhibitions in museums (see 4.2); 2. Recitals or publications of Dutch poetry 4 (see 4.3); 3. Live performances of (contemporary) classical music (see 4.4). Art 1. Visual arts We aim to enable more In 2009, the board decided to widen its focus from people in the Nether- just painting to other forms of visual art.

Lang in de tijd liggen kijken, in de ijlende, krijsende ruimte. De vreemde vreugde die dat ondenkbare schept. Ik zag een foto die iemand vanuit een kuil had genomen. Uitzicht vanuit een graf, stond eronder. Je zag een stuk van de hemel en de dunne kruinen van bomen. Ik denk aan mijn vader, heel ver van huis, niet meer bij machte terug te keren. En aan mijn ex die ik plots bij mijn tandarts aantrof boven mijn wijdopen mond, mooier en harder dan ooit, met een slang in haar hand om het gruis en het vocht weg te zuigen. Daar lag ik. Ik zou zo graag licht willen reizen, met in mijn rugzak niet meer dan wat kleren, een veldn es, een pen en papier.

The remaining €40 million will be received over the coming few years. Since its founding in 2006, the Turing Foundation has made donations or reservations for multi-year projects up to a sum of more than €19 million.

The largest part of the Turing Foundation’s assets is managed through Goldman Sachs International (at the end of 2010, this applied to two-thirds of our capital).
