V&A R Esearch R Eport 2013 2013 REPORT V&A RESEARCH MESSAGE FROM THE DIRECTOR Research is a core activity of the V&A, and it grows out of the Museum’s original commitment to the arts and sciences that shape the world around us. This Annual Research Report lists the outputs of staff from the calendar year 2013. It does more than document the remarkable productivity of individual experts throughout the Museum: it testifies to the thriving research culture that joins them together in one of the world’s most important centres for the preservation and interpretation of art and artefacts. The V&A plays a leading role in binding together the fields of art, design and performance; conservation and collections management; and object-led, museum-based learning. We let the world know about our work through many different routes, which reach as large and varied an audience as possible. Here you will find the kinds of items you might expect – exhibition catalogues, scholarly monographs and articles in specialist journals – but also television and radio programmes, films, public lectures and digital resources. Some of this research is developed through our close relationships with universities and other educational institutions: the V&A is one of the UK’s only national museums with an academic URL (vam.ac.uk), and it is home to the world’s oldest postgraduate programme in the history of design, which today forms part of our longstanding collaboration with the Royal College of Art. The V&A is international both in its collections and its outlook. In this Report you will notice entries in French, Spanish, German and Russian as well as English, and activities in places as diverse as Ukraine, Libya and Colombia. Our research connects us to the wider world and, above all, ensures that the collections entrusted to our care will continue to inspire creativity and curiosity for many years to come.

  • Iniva to Relocate to Ual's Chelsea College of Arts
    PRESS RELEASE 21 September 2019 INIVA TO RELOCATE TO UAL’S CHELSEA COLLEGE OF ARTS CAMPUS Institutions strengthen collaboration to advance debate on race, culture and gender Iniva (Institute of International Visual Arts) and University of the Arts London (UAL) are delighted to announce that Iniva is moving to 16 John Islip Street, on the campus of UAL’s Chelsea College of Arts, in September 2018. The Stuart Hall Library is the critical and creative hub for Iniva’s pioneering programme that challenges conventional notions of difference and diversity. Its move to the Chelsea College of Arts campus will establish further space to develop Iniva’s collection of over 10,000 books and journals. A new dedicated archive area will be created alongside flexible spaces for events. Designed to generate discussion and encourage collaboration, these activities will be open to everyone. As a National Portfolio Organisation (NPO), Iniva is an independent organisation, governed by a board of trustees that receives its core funding from Arts Council England. The move reflects a long history of collaboration with Chelsea College of Arts, highlighting connections to recent research projects such as Black Artists and Modernism. There is also a shared history with world renowned alumni, curators and artists such as Yinka Shonibare MBE RA, Isaac Julien CBE RA, Professor Sonia Boyce MBE RA and the curator David A. Bailey MBE. Both Iniva and UAL’s Chelsea College of Arts aim to develop a long-term partnership that addresses post-colonial narratives, advancing research on race, culture and gender. This shared ambition means that the two institutions will continue to facilitate critical debates by academics, students, local residents and the wider creative community.

  • The 6 Marrakech Biennale
    THIRD TEXT Critical Perspectives on Contemporary Art and Culture May 2016 The 6th Marrakech Biennale: ‘Not New Now’ Nicola Gray I will make a bold claim: the 2016 Marrakech Biennale has rekindled much of the faith in and passion for art as it is presented in international exhibitions that I have lost in recent years. There may have been other biennales and large exhibitions which might have evoked a similar response (it is not possible to see all of them), but some jaded emotions settled in for me some time ago as I began to witness many of the machinations of the art world and its attendant markets. Perhaps most painful for me has been the all-too-frequent mangling and misuse of words and language, and through that of clarity of thought and meaning. Clarity of thought is essential for an ethical consideration of anything, and curator Reem Fadda has thought clearly and expansively about this 6th Marrakech Biennale. It is brave and ambitious and does not waste exhibition or page space with any superficial trends or theories. Conceived of as a ‘living essay’, to quote Fadda, with a beginning and a series of movements through it, the Biennale weaves itself into parts of the fascinating fabric of this Moroccan city almost as if it had always been there. There is none of the superficiality of inviting ‘international’ artists to ‘engage with Morocco’. Neither is there the usual roster of names. A few are familiar; I suspect many will not be. Taken as a whole, the Biennale questions and provokes.
