Nowadays, due to the insufficiently developed theoretical background of gallery business, gallery owners mainly rely on their intuition, analysis of the art market, and numerous sketchy theoretical works and tips. The article presents a comparative analysis and characteristics of the art galleries of the city of Irkutsk, not mentioned previously in the literature. A list of resources necessary for the formation and promotion of attractiveness of art galleries for tourists has been developed. It was created on the basis of the analysis of the activities of Russian and foreign galleries in terms of their tourism attractiveness and cooperation with tourist companies. At the same time, it is mentioned that measures aimed at developing of the tourism attractiveness of the gallery, which are quite often commercial by their nature, should promote the brand of the territory where the gallery is located, preserving its uniqueness. They should in no way turn the art gallery into a gift shop selling art souvenirs.

The opening of Liverpool’s Walker Art Gallery provided the city with one of the country’s most modern art galleries, complementing the impressive neoclassical architecture that had emerged around the famous St. George’s Hall. Yet a gallery aimed at promoting popular art education was decidedly unpopular with many of Liverpool’s population. The partisan nature of the gift by well-known brewer and Conservative A.B. Walker was flavoured with corruption and revealed the difficulties that municipal art institutions faced when accepting financial support from controversial local donors. It also revealed that although municipalisation promised a more democratic age, financial limitations on local authorities meant that elite influence in the local art world remained strong.

Experimental films have historically had a contested and marginalized position within film exhibition. With his Manifesto (2015), which has been exhibited both as a video installation in art galleries and as a feature film in movie theatres, Julian Rosefeldt collapsed the barriers between these exhibition spaces. By performing a comparative analysis of Manifesto in both forms, this article outlines the way spectators behave differently in the theatre and the gallery, the different demands the work makes on the viewer in each venue, and the difficulties of transforming the work from one form to another. By asking what is lost and what is gained, this article explores how the text, form, and venue function differently, to reveal underlying assumptions about spectatorship. Article received: December 31, 2017; Article accepted: January 10, 2018; Published online: April 15, 2018; Original scholarly paper How to cite this article: Ljungbäck, Hugo.

Many people will not visit art galleries because they think they are boring, and that art is not meant for them. In Britain, and I believe in Nordic countries as well, art has been made the preserve of an educated elite and the majority feel excluded from its mysteries. Distrust of art and lack of interest in art galleries has even been encouraged by art curators and art historians. It is as if we have conspired to ensure that art galleries are unpopular, and this is a situation which is of course wholly unacceptable to someone like me who is paid by a local council and who believes that art has an important role to play in peoples lives. As curator of the city art gallery, I do not work for an educated elite but for all the people of Newcastle.

Collecting works of art in the modern Russian provinces is still a poorly studied topic of art history. The relevance of the study is determined by considering the main activities of private art galleries in Orenburg, which is being done for the first time. The author points out the factors that led to the collection of works by Orenburg artists, who was influenced by the graduates of the Moscow State Academic Art Institute named after V.I. Surikov since the 1960s. Changes in the methodological work of art galleries with viewers and buyers at the present stage are noted. The object of the analysis is the art gallery “On Pushkinskaya” as an example of exhibition, information and educational activities. The study emphasizes the role of the personality of the gallery owner M. F. Konnov, a collector, philanthropist and artist, thanks to whom the art gallery has become a cultural center of the city. Коллекционирование произведений искусства в современной российской провинции остается малоизученной темой искусствоведения. Актуальность исследования обусловлена рассмотрением основных направлений деятельности частных художественных галерей Оренбурга, что делается впервые. Указываются факторы, предопределившие собирание картин коллектива оренбургских художников, сформировавшегося под влиянием выпускников Московского художественного института им. В.И. Сурикова, приехавших в степной город в 1960-е годы. Отмечаются изменения в методической работе арт-галерей со зрителями и покупателями на современном этапе. Объектом анализа является галерея искусств «На Пушкинской» как образец выставочной, информационной, образовательной и просветительской деятельности по приобщению зрителей к современному искусству. В исследовании подчеркивается роль личности владельца галереи М.Ф. Коннова, коллекционера, мецената и художника, благодаря которому галерея искусств превратилась в культурный центр города.

Summary By analysing the careers of internationally recognized artists from Lithuania and the relationship between Lithuanian contemporary artists and art galleries and museums, the author explores the challenges faced by today’s artists and hypothetically underlines the principles that could be useful for them in seeking to enter into the global art scene. The essay analyses the lack of cooperation between artists and galleries, and the representation of artists in Lithuanian museums, which is considered to be the base of a contemporary artist’s career. The essay assesses the influence of the main participants in the art market upon artists’ careers, by investigating the Lithuanian art market’s position after the restoration of independence in 1990. Twenty Lithuanian artists, major galleries or representatives of museums (such as the National Art Gallery and the MO Museum, formerly known as the Modern Art Centre) were interviewed for the purposes of this study. This examination of the Lithuanian art market reveals the peculiarities that artists have encountered, and could help international art market players to better understand the problems that the Lithuanian art market is facing. The author seeks to identify the main factors helping artists to navigate the global art scene and the global art market.

The spread of the COVID-19 pandemic worldwide, and the restrictions imposed by the social distance and the enforced confinement, are having an impact on the art markets globally. The aim of this article is to evaluate the impact of an external shock in the primary art market, using three countries as a case study: Portugal, Spain, and Brazil. These geographies have in common being at the margins in the art market’s main art hubs. It is intended to analyze how agents are responding to the new context, according to the data gathered within the gallery sector. The methods applied in the research are a combination of surveys carried out by the authors, field-based observation, along with an academic literature review, complemented by international and national reports analysis. The study’s main findings allow us to characterize the art market as a very resilient sector that energetically responded to the crisis, able to adapt and overcome challenges imposed by the new pandemic situation. Contemporary art galleries expanded digital activities, kept participating in art fairs hybrid models, continued to focus on internationalization, and pointed to the strengthening of public policies towards the sector and partnerships as key strategies to overcome the crisis.

This article analyzes how the Poles and Jews who disappeared from the western Ukrainian city of L'viv as a result of the Second World War are remembered in the city today. It examines a range of commemorative practices, from monuments and museums to themed cafes and literature, and analyzes how these practices interact to produce competing mnemonic narratives. In this respect, the article argues for an understanding of the city as a complex text consisting of a diverse range of mutually interdependent mnemonic media produced by a range of actors. The article focuses in particular on the ways in which Ukrainian nationalist narratives interact with the memory of the city's “lost others.” The article also seeks to understand L'viv‘s memory culture through comparison with a range of Polish cities that have faced similar problems with commemorating vanished communities, but have witnessed a deeper recognition of these communities than has been the case in L'viv. The article proposes reasons for the divergences between the memory cultures of L'viv and that found in Polish cities, and attempts to outline the gradual processes by which L'viv‘s Polish and Jewish pasts might become more widely integrated into the city's memory culture.

AbstractTraditionally, the art market is associated with specific cities or art districts; typically there are internationally renowned locations like Paris, New York and Berlin. However, taking a closer look at the art markets, it is rather the temporal dimensions that are striking. Art market actors (e. g. artists, critics, gallerists, buyers, collectors, curators) are gathering in temporary locations and at temporary events such as art exhibition openings, art fairs, auctions, performances and vernissages. Within economic geography literature, the role of temporary spaces and events has been increasingly discussed in relation to economic activities and their performance, efficiency and creativity. An important insight gained in this literature is how temporary events, despite their short-lived existence, create microcosms of an industry or sector. Some temporary events even gather enough resources, skills and power to become field-configuring. In this paper, the primary art market will be discussed from the theoretical perspectives of value-making processes, temporary spaces and events, and field-configuring events. More specifically, the study focuses on temporary spaces important to galleries involved in selling and promoting primary art and artists. It focuses on how temporary spaces constitute both a characteristic feature of the art market and important spaces for creating both cultural and economic values. Empirically, this paper is based on a study of the Swedish primary art galleries and in particular it deals with primary art galleries located in Stockholm, and studies how they use temporary spaces and events in creating both cultural and economic values to themselves, the artists and their artworks. Three empirical examples characteristic to primary art galleries are examined; the opening, the art fair and the mobile art district.
