Whitechapel Gallery Patrons' Review Whitechapel Gallery Patrons’ Review Spring 2019 – Autumn 2020 1 A Message from Director Iwona Blazwick OBE Dear Patrons, It feels as if it were yesterday when we came together, in November 2019, to celebrate a decade of Whitechapel Gallery’s expansion and the launch of our Towards Tomorrow campaign. No one could have predicted that a few months later, at the beginning of a new decade, a viral pandemic would push us to expand in new ways, beyond the physical Gallery walls, and increasingly plunge into the digital landscape. Throughout it all, we continued to invoke our founding mission: to share great art with everyone, regardless of the circumstances, in the belief that it has the power to transform lives. Despite the challenges of closing the Gallery and being confined to our homes, we continued on this mission undeterred. Exhibitions have been curated on flat screens; our laptops became substitutes for meeting tables. Zoom has quite literally zoomed us around the world, for virtual studio visits in Los Angeles and conversations crossing the Atlantic to New York. Yet, out of these two- dimensional experiences, we are still able to create a multi-dimensional space for art, where we continue to meet, exchange and celebrate art’s capacity to inspire. At the same time, the occasions when we are able to meet and experience art collectively have gained new value and become even more precious – and shown us that there really is no substitute for sharing art together in person. These past months have confirmed that, in this global age, close communities are more vital than ever to our wellbeing and growth. Without a doubt, the support of the Whitechapel Gallery Patrons community has been a powerful source of inspiration, courage and commitment that has enabled us to forge ahead in our role as an international epicentre for the dissemination of art, culture and creativity. Both before and during these most challenging recent events, our Patrons have been a pillar of strength, underpinning our core activity, and ensuring that we can develop and deliver with our pioneering exhibition and education activity with confidence. We are delighted to share with you the 2019–2020 Patrons’ Review – a snapshot of the initiatives that your support has helped make possible. We hope you will be proud to reflect on the rich and diverse range of exhibitions, displays and initiatives delivered over these two years. Whether you have supported us for decades or just joined recently, we are hugely grateful and privileged to have you as a part of our Whitechapel Gallery community. On behalf of our Trustees, my colleagues, our community partners, our artists, and our audiences – thank you for your contributions and your commitment. I look forward to many more years together.

The past year allowed us to pause and reflect on our vision, while rapidly adapting to changing circumstances. It reminded us of the importance of our mission, and made us appreciate more than ever those who, through their generosity, enable us to deliver it. With your continued support, Whitechapel Gallery has remained a vital beacon of art in East London and beyond, even in these most tumultuous of times. Over the past two years, our exhibitions attracted hundreds of thousands of visitors across five fantastic exhibition seasons. From Queer Spaces to Helen Cammock, Anna Maria Maiolino to Radical Figures, Michael Rakowitz to Kai Althoff goes with Bernard Leach, Whitechapel Gallery continues to intellectually stimulate our audiences with access to the most innovative artists of our times. We look forward with brand-new commissions, and reflect on the past from new viewpoints in our Archive Gallery. Our Project Galleries shine a spotlight on the extraordinary work of our education and public programmes, while our Collections Gallery frees hidden treasures from behind closed doors. At the same time, our digital channels now reach over three million per year – a figure that continues to expand – ensuring that our initiatives are not halted by restrictions on physical access to the Gallery. You, our Patrons, are a driving force in supporting the Whitechapel Gallery’s mission to advance a dynamic and diverse agenda of contemporary art and culture. At every level, our Patrons play an essential part in the success of the Gallery, contributing your enthusiasm, participation and financial support to our internationally acclaimed programme of exhibitions, commissions, artists’ projects and events. Beyond Whitechapel Gallery, we explore vibrant art scenes in London and around the world through our Patron Events Programme. From artists’ studios to private collections, we believe it is inspiring to experience great art together, whether in person or on screen. We are truly grateful for and humbled by your continued involvement – especially as we have navigated the unprecedented and uncertain past year. We appreciate that it has been a difficult time for everyone, and the messages of support that we have received, as well as seeing your faces, even virtually, have only deepened our gratitude. And, thanks to your ongoing contributions, we have been able to forge ahead, opening a complete new season in autumn 2020 and planning our gallery and digital programmes for 2021 and beyond. We hope you enjoy this look back at Whitechapel Gallery’s exhibitions and activities in the past two years as much as we did, and we look forward to sharing the future of the Gallery with you. Once more, thank you – we can’t wait to see you again soon.

  • Whitechapel Gallery Ten Years of Transformation 2009–2019
    Whitechapel Gallery Ten Years of Transformation 2009–2019 1 Message from the Director One of my first responsibilities on becoming Director of the Whitechapel Gallery in 2001 was to confirm the purchase of the grand Victorian Passmore Edwards Library, adjacent to the Gallery’s own 1901 Arts & Crafts building. We asked ourselves, how should we expand our physical footprint while saving a heritage building? And, what could this marvelous sequence of spaces contribute to the experience of art? All the while we needed to remain faithful to our founding mission of sharing great art with everyone. In 2009 – after eight years of planning, hundreds of meetings, millions of pounds raised and the sturm und drang of the construction itself – Whitechapel Gallery opened its new space. Designed by Flemish architects Robbrecht and Daem the dramatically expanded building also inaugurated a new chapter in the story of the Whitechapel Gallery. The decade that has passed since those whirlwind opening weeks has been one of conversation and partnership; of the local and the global; and of experimentation and innovation. The success of the past ten years is a cause for celebration and a source of inspiration as we forge ahead in our role as an international epicentre for the dissemination of art, culture and creativity. The extraordinary figures and images in the following pages are a testament to the collective accomplishments of the past decade. However, none of these would have been achieved without the individual efforts of so many. It has been a privilege to work with so many great artists, curators, critics, collectors, scholars, gallerists, educationalists, supporters, colleagues and of course visitors, all of whom have joined us in our curatorial adventure.

    Artlyst Yinka Shonibare Receives Art Icon Award 5 January 2021 Yinka Shonibare Receives Art Icon Award Whitechapel Gallery has announced that Yinka Shonibare CBE RA (b. 1962, UK) is the eighth artist to receive the prestigious annual Art Icon award, supported by the Swarovski Foundation. On Monday 22 March 2021, the award will be presented during a virtual gala celebration hosted by Iwona Blazwick OBE (Director, Whitechapel Gallery), and feature an exclusive musical performance from four-time Grammy Award winner Angélique Kidjo. To protect the safety and welfare of all attendees, the event will be hosted on a digital platform and will celebrate the Gallery’s continued commitment to youth programmes and educational activities through an evening of live presentations. An online auction of artworks donated by leading contemporary artists will also take place, hosted by Phillips Auction on www.phillips.com. All funds raised will help support Whitechapel Gallery’s programme, in particular its work with thousands of children and young people each year. Iwona Blazwick said: “Yinka Shonibare is a truly exceptional artist and is an exemplary Art Icon. His vividly clothed figurative sculptures, the Hogarthian scenarios he creates as installations and photographs, and his beautiful films celebrate African culture while exposing the legacies of race and empire. Globally celebrated Shonibare also supports younger generations of artists in Britain and Africa; both his artistic legacy and his charitable initiatives will resonate for years to come.” Shonibare was born in Lagos, Nigeria and lives and works in East London. He was nominated for the Turner Prize in 2004. His sculpture, Nelson’s Ship in a Bottle, was the 2010 Fourth Plinth Commission in Trafalgar Square and is now on permanent display at The National Maritime Museum, Greenwich.
