The following report is the analysis of a three-month internship within this organization, and will discuss topics as they relate to the cuniculum of the Arts Administration degree. The for-profit nature of this internship and its completion within a small-scale structure presented me with several not-so-clearly delineated tasks. In order to properly introduce the topics associated with the responsibilities of the assignment at Arthur Roger Gallery, the reader must first become familiar with the nature of the business, and its management structure. Chapter II is exclusively devoted to the purpose of the internship. By considering the role of the intern, who acted in the role of an assistant to the staff, this section will outline the importance of compiling an inventory, and the necessity of maintaining the gallery's website in the most accurate manner. The third chapter of the present report is an attempt to identify the reasons that separate the Arthur Roger Gallery from its competitors. This section will address several elements discussed through our cuniculum, particularly during the Visual Art and Marketing classes. Broadly speaking, it will show that Arthur Roger has fully understood the "who, what, where, why, when and how" of selling fine art in his market area. The final section of the discussion will involve several points dealing principally with management and technical concerns, for the most part related to the growing activity of the business and its recent evolutions.

My research explores the concept of visual art as a form of critical inquiry and the gallery as a site for critical dialogue and social change. I argue that art galleries can be spaces of change and can be used to mount a critique of contemporary society’s dominant narrative of neoliberalism that is being incorporated into our public and private lives. Art galleries are public spheres for civil society that offer citizens opportunities to engage in debate on contemporary issues, where we can expose ourselves to new ideas, stimulate our minds, and explore other ways of knowing and becoming agents of change. My investigation takes the form of researching, developing, and presenting an exhibition of selected photographs as part of the exhibition, Open Conversations. This exhibition explored the art practice of Canadian photographers Carole Condé and Karl Beveridge, who have developed an artistic process that involves direct collaboration in the production of art employing a participatory, socially engaged framework. I claim the role of “insurgent curator” (a person who challenges the current state of affairs) through my attempt to locate my inquiry within my current praxis as curator, that is, within a critical form of creative inquiry. As an insurgent curator, I attempt to insert alternative histories and perspectives in a public art gallery as a means of offering different ways of knowing contemporary society. The concept of critical inquiry and the use of dialogical aesthetics underlie my concept of insurgent curatorial practice. I propose that the use of dialogue has important implications in helping to situate art galleries as public spaces that invite participation, dialogue, and community, and thereby have a profound impact on visitors’ meaning making. Through the use of critical creative inquiry, I ask how this research can generate individual transformation and help create progressive forms of social action. / Graduate / scottmarsden@haidagwaii.ca

The aim of this this diploma thesis is to explore the relationship between the art galleries and the public. The key focus is to analyze indispensable approaches galleries should employ in order to survive on the cultural market. Firstly, the thesis discusses the economic aspects with the particular focus on the value added to the management and marketing of galleries. The next part deals with the social aspects. In addition to the gallery visitors and the influence of gallery interior on the visitor, the division of art on commercial and non-commercial sphere is explored. Furthermore, the term "socially engaged art" will be specified. The final discussion then shows the previous research by presenting practical examples to illustrate the importance of the issue, particularly focusing on the Egon Schiele Art Center in Český Krumlov.

Este trabalho tem como objetivo a análise de uma tipologia - os pavilhões, dentro de um caso singular que são os Pavilhões de Verão da Galeria Serpentine em Londres. Para se entender tanto a tipologia como o próprio programa desenvolvido em Londres, essa pesquisa se valeu de levantamento bibliográfico sobre o tema e sobre os projetos da Serpentine, assim como visita a um dos pavilhões e a obras do arquiteto desse projeto, o chileno Smiljan Radíc. Como ponto de partida foi usado como referência o autor Moisés Puente e o livro \"100 anos de pavilhões de exposição\", e na sequência, publicações sobre história da arquitetura e monografias sobre alguns arquitetos. Sobre a Galeria Serpentine, a pesquisa teve início com a publicação comemorativa aos dez anos do evento: \"Serpentine Gallery Pavilions\", do autor Philip Jodidio, assim como publicações sobre cada pavilhão. Por fim, foram levantadas as publicações monográficas sobre o arquiteto Smiljan Radíc, assim como sobre o pavilhão de 2014. Com isso, foi possível traçar um panorama sobre esses edifícios na história, e também reconhecer algumas das obras emblemáticas para a disciplina da arquitetura, e a partir daí, analisar as propostas que vem sendo desenvolvidas desde o ano 2000 por essa galeria de arte. Dessa forma, o pavilhão visitado em 2014 é apresentado juntamente com a obra do seu autor em uma investigação sobre o campo ensaístico desse arquiteto, campo esse também verificado na análise de alguns dos pavilhões mais significativos da história. / This paper aims to provide analysis of a typology - the pavilions, more specifically the case of the Serpentine Gallery Summer Pavilions in London. In favor of comprehending the typology as well as the developed program in London, this research was based on a selected bibliographical survey on the subject-matter and other Serpentine Gallery projects, additionally to a visit to one of the pavilions and other works by the same architect, the Chilean Smiljan Radíc. It has been used, as starting point, the reference of the author Moisés Puente and his book \"100 anos de pavilhões de exposição\", subsequent to publications on architecture history and monographs by other architects. Regarding the Serpentine Gallery, the research began with the 10-year commemorative publication of the event: \"Serpentine Gallery Pavilions\", from author Philip Jodidio, along with other publications about each pavilion. Lastly, monograph publications were gathered on the architect Smiljan Radíc, as well as on the 2014 pavilion. Therefore, it was possible to draw a panorama on these buildings throughout history, likewise some of its emblematic works for the discipline of architecture, and ther after, analyse the propositions that have been made by this gallery since the 2000s. As a result, the pavilion visited in 2014 is presented along with the author\'s work in an examination of the rehearsal field of the architect, the same field is further analysed in some of the most significant pavilions in history.

This thesis examines the reputation the 1970s have as a renaissance era for New Zealand public art galleries.It does this by considering the formation and development of galleries in the period as well as their approaches. Public and community involvement, energy, innovation, activism, and engagement with contemporary New Zealand art are key areas of approach investigated since increases in each are associated with galleries in the seventies.The notion of a renaissance is also particularly associated with provincial galleries. In order to examine this idea in detail three "provincial" galleries are taken as case studies. They are the (then named) Dowse Art Gallery, Govett-Brewster Art Gallery and Manawatu Art Gallery.The seventies are revealed as a "culture change" era for public art galleries in New Zealand. New ones were founded, many were rebuilt or substantially altered, and there was a shift from the rule of the amateur to that of the professional. The majority of existing galleries went from being static institutions with few staff, neglected collections, and unchanging exhibitions, to become much more publicly oriented and professionally run operations. Moreover, while change occurred across nearly all institutions, it tended to be led from the provinces.Several reasons are suggested for the forward-looking nature of the three case study galleries. One is that they reflected the energy and flexibility that goes with new, small organisations. Another is that all three existed in cities with little appreciation of art and culture and so had to strenuously prove themselves to gain community acceptance and civic support.Other galleries, particularly the metropolitans, are shown to have followed the lead of the progressive focus institutions. Influencing factors on changes in all New Zealand galleries are therefore also sought. They include the growth in new, well educated, sophisticated, and internationally-aware audiences; greater production and public awareness of New Zealand art; interest in exploring a New Zealand identity; world-wide revolutionary social changes in the '60s and '70s; and increased government funding for building projects.The changes that took place in New Zealand art galleries in the 1970s are shown to sit within the wider contexts of increasing trends towards public orientation by museums internationally, both before and during the decade, and in New Zealand since the seventies. However, the very notion of public orientation is also suggested to be historically relative and, ultimately, politically driven.

Learning in 'communities of practice' is a new way of describing and investigating how people learn and has not been applied extensively in research in early childhood or in art galleries. This thesis is a critical case study undertaken with preschool children as they prepared for, participated in and followed up a series of excursions to the National Gallery of Australia. The study explores and analyses children's induction into the practices of the art gallery and their negotiation of the meanings around these practices in the gallery and in their preschool. Children's engagement in practices is analysed using a sociocultural framework for learning called 'communities of practice' (Wenger, 1998) in combination with a multilevel analysis of the artefacts of practice derived from the philosophical writings of Wartofsky (1979). Multiple data sources included photographs of children, their drawings, tape recordings of their incidental talk and group discussions, and results of play activities as children participated in the practices of the art gallery and the preschool. Data was also collected through semi-structured interviews with gallery and preschool staff. In a study involving such young children, the use and juxtaposition of these multiple sources of data was important because it allowed for the inclusion and privileging of the material and non-verbal resources as well as verbal resources that children used as they engaged in practices. Outcomes of this research have been used to illuminate and problematise early childhood as a site for the intersection of multiple communities of practice. Learning to make sense of experience is portrayed as more than language-based 'scaffolding' and the representation of experience through child-centred play activity. The study provides a detailed descriptive account of children's learning and sees it as a fundamentally unpredictable and emergent process. It shows that relations of power are always a part of learning and can be seen through an analysis of the resources available to children, those they took up and were constrained by in the local situation and those they brought from other communities of practice. In this process, the children, as well as their teachers, were active negotiators. They participated in complying with community-constituted views of knowledge as well as shaping, resisting and contesting what counted as knowledge. This study makes a contribution to understanding children's learning in early childhood as fundamentally social, unpredictable, productive and transformative rather than individually constructed, stable, predetermined and representational of experience.

This paper advances a decision theoretical foundation for pricing scripts by means of a simple model of product differentiation implementing the undercut-proof equilibrium concept. We argue that while sociological factors play undoubtedly an important role, economic analysis can complement the insights from economic sociology on pricing in the primary art market. Our model analyzes the effects of the gallery's and the artist's reputation on the price the gallery charges. The results suggest that prices positively correlate with an artist's reputation and negatively correlate with a gallery's reputation. The model may therefore explain the results of recent empirical studies that have led to similar results. (author's abstract) / Series: Department of Economics Working Paper Series
