  • 1 | Page the EVOLUTION of 'IMMERSIVE
    THE EVOLUTION OF ‘IMMERSIVE’ EXHIBTIONS AT THE V&A MUSEUM, LONDON – 2008-2021 By Victoria Broackes and Geoffrey Marsh 1. Introduction GCDN members have expressed interest in the potential of ‘immersive’ exhibitions and related ‘experiences’ as programmatic elements that can meet their ambitions for broadening the base of their audiences. Audience analysis does demonstrate that these ‘experiences’ offer the opportunity of a cost-effective option with the ability to attract larger and more diverse audiences. As a result, there is particular curiosity about whether there is a basic underlying methodology, which can, however, create varied outputs that are faithful to the character and mission of their own districts. A comprehensive study of immersive exhibitions would require a book, so, as a starting point, this review examines the experience of the Victoria & Albert Museum in London – where we and colleagues have curated a series of immersive exhibitions over the last fifteen years. It stresses this was an evolutionary journey where skills, opportunities and confidence built up over time. However, the growth of a (semi-) commercial immersive exhibition market over this period means that GCDN members may have the opportunity of short circuiting such a process by connecting to an increasing number of ‘off the peg’ products, systems and creators in the post-Covid world. Sections 2, 3 and 4 trace the evolution as it happened, not simply as a matter of record but also to illustrate the interplay of opportunities, technology, sponsorship and other factors that impacted what was produced. Those seeking a summary overview may best move directly to Section 5 onwards.

  • Kiyooka Ohe Arts Centre 2019-2020 Business Strategy Plan
    Kiyooka Ohe Arts Centre 2019-2020 Business Strategy Plan “There is a big difference between being undecided and indecisive. The essence of a strategy is choosing what not to do” – Michael Porter, Harvard Business School KOAC 2019-2020 BUSINESS PLAN 1 Executive Summary The beginning of 2019 finds us on an exciting trajectory, assertively advancing in the development of The Kiyooka Ohe Arts Centre Society of Calgary (KOAC) after a period of internal reorganization, board and management restructuring, and financial and legal reforms. Although critical for the organizational well-being and to our continued success, the restructuring period forced us to postpone many initiatives during 2018 which the KOAC Board had identified as essential strategic programs and priorities. However, this pause also provided us with the chance to diagnose the Society’s current needs and the goals and objectives to achieve greater effectiveness. To that end, we diligently gained input from past and present Board members, volunteers, external advisors, and subject matter experts, potential donors and, especially, from the Springbank community. Their valuable feedback helped us understand how we can improve "en route" to the development of a clearer and more tactical three-year strategic vision of the future to meet our next challenges with a strong, unified, and focused KOAC. This year, in the short term, we plan to embark on a more aggressive implementation of specific programmatic interventions. KOAC is fully committed to supporting artists and stewarding its landscape, to nurturing and celebrating the relationship between art, nature, and people, and to operating a centre of contemplation and learning, focused on contemporary art.

  • Foundations and Contemporary Art
    Rebecca Coates, The curator/patron: Foundations and contemporary art REBECCA COATES The curator/patron: Foundations and contemporary art Abstract This article addresses the role of private foundations in commissioning site-specific ephemeral art works: contemporary art projects of a temporary nature that are realised outside of public institutions. Though small in number, I argue that the private individuals creating and managing private foundations of this nature demonstrate a new form of patronage, creating in the process a new role of ‘curator/patron’. Equally, this process of realisation reflects the changing needs of contemporary art practice. Work of this scale and ambition would increasingly not be possible without the vision, perseverance and funding of these kinds of foundation. In Australia, this trend is demonstrated by two foundations: Kaldor Art Projects, and their commissioning of works by artists such as Christo and Jeanne-Claude, Gilbert & George and Jeff Koons; and the more recently formed Sherman Contemporary Art Foundation, whose first project was with Chinese artist Ai Weiwei. In this article, these examples are placed within the broader international context of foundation models such as Artangel, UK, Fondazione Nicola Trussardi, Milan, and The Public Art Fund, New York. The birth of Kaldor Art Projects In 1969, collector, entrepreneur and art patron John Kaldor invited internationally acclaimed contemporary artists Christo and Jeanne-Claude to wrap a section of the New South Wales coast. Wrapped Coast – One Million Square Feet, Little Bay, Sydney, Australia, 1969, was the culmination of many hours of planning, organisation and work. Wrapped Coast was installed by the artists together with a daily workforce of around 120 people, including professional mountain climber, labourers, students from the University of Sydney and East Sydney Technical College, and a number of Australian artists and teachers.

  • Community Arts Centrescentres:: Lessons from Namibia
    E-Leader Budapest 2010 COMMUNITY ARTS CENTRESCENTRES:: LESSONS FROM NAMIBIA Prof. Dennis Schauffer Dept. Visual Arts and Design Vaal University of Technology Vanderbijlpark, Gauteng Province South Africa Namibia lies on the west coast of the Southern Subcontinent of Africa. To the north is Angola. Botswana is to the east and South Africa is on the southern border. The capital of Windhoek is in the centre of this E-Leader Budapest 2010 sparsely populated country. In Windhoek is the township of Katutura. Life in the township can be harsh and unhealthy but there is, amongst the people, a strong creative spirit that manifests itself craft work, music, dance, and drama. The idea of setting up Community Arts Centres in this context is founded on the idea of promoting this creative output in such a way as to provide sustainable livelihoods in such underprivileged areas. The Department of Arts and Culture established the Community Arts Centre Programme between 1996 and 2001 with the stated objectives: 1) To provide opportunities for artists and cultural workers to participate in the arts; 2) To create opportunities for employment; and 3) To promote the cultural enrichment of the community in general but with a focus upon youth, women, children, and the disabled in particular. In 1996 the Department of Arts, Culture, Science and Technology instituted a programme to establish 42 arts centres in marginalized communities. In a detailed national audit of Community Arts Centre entitled E-Leader Budapest 2010 Towards Optimally Functioning Community Arts Centres in South Africa 2002 Gerard Hagg and Susan Selepe drew attention to the fact that there were (to summarise their findings): a) Funding difficulties.

  • Collections Policy 2017 - 2025
    COLLECTIONS POLICY 2017 - 2025 1. SUMMARY The Whitehorse Art Collection was established by the former City of Box Hill in 1927 and was developed from a core of artworks created by artists who attended the famous Box Hill Artists’ Camp in the 1880s. Included are artworks by Frederick McCubbin, Tom Roberts and Arthur Streeton. The main subject of the early artworks is the landscape. The Collection is a notable public collection, with a wealth of historic and contemporary art. In recent years, the Collection has developed with the acquisition of contemporary landscapes, the urban and suburban landscape, and a large amount of ceramics. The region is renowned for tile manufacturing, potteries and brickworks. Generous donations and an acquisitions budget have ensured the longevity of this significant collection for the benefit of future generations. The Whitehorse Art Collection currently comprises almost 1,700 items. The Collections Policy combines the former Art Collection Policy, the Exhibition Policy and formalizes the development of a memorabilia collection to be known as the Civic Collection. 2. PURPOSE To ensure sound management and development of the collections managed by the City of Whitehorse, the Whitehorse Art Collection and the Whitehorse Civic Collection, together with the provision of guidelines for visual arts exhibitions in Council venues. 3. OBJECTIVES • To conserve, document and develop the Art Collection and Civic Collection in accordance with current museological practices. • To facilitate public access to the Art Collection and Civic Collection. • To curate a diverse exhibition program for the residents of Whitehorse and beyond. • To implement the Statement of Purpose. 4. STATEMENT OF PURPOSE The Whitehorse Art Collection and Civic Collection reflect, engages with and inspires our diverse community.
