Exhibition Activities of the Pavlovsk Palace and Park Ensemble in the 1950s

During the period of active post-war restoration of the palace and park ensembles of Leningrad, in the absence of permanent expositions, exhibitions were one of the few ways of museum communication. The article focuses on the exhibitions of the Pavlovsk Palace Museum and Park in the 1950s. As a research base, the author uses articles from the newspaper “Vperyod” issued in the city of Pushkin, and unpublished materials of the Central State Archive of Literature and Art of St. Petersburg: reports and plans of the directorate, programs of festive events, minutes of the scientific department employees’ meetings, financial reports of the 1950s, etc.On the example of Pavlovsk, the article reveals the essence of exhibitions as a typical phenomenon for a museum complex, as well as for a culture and recreation park, which allowed forming civic consciousness and implementing state cultural policy. The exhibitions helped to solve a set of political, educational, personality-developing, leisure, and cultural tasks of Soviet cultural institutions.The author conducts a comparative quantitative analysis of the total number of exhibitions by year. Based on the content of the exhibitions, there is provided a universal thematic classification. The article shows the connection of the disclosed topics and the number of exhibitions with the cultural and political situation in the country during that period. There is determined the organizational specifics of the process, within which the main sites, time and forms of exhibitions are identified.The article concludes that most of the exhibitions did not correspond to the museum’s essence, but those that related directly to the history of the museum and its collections were in tourist demand. Some of the exhibitions of the museum profile, over time, determined the content of the future permanent expositions of the State Museum-Reserve “Pavlovsk”. The emergence and growth of such exhibitions, covered in the media, contributed to the activation of visitor interest in Pavlovsk as a museum and the development of cultural tourism, primarily at the local and regional level.

ГЕОГРАФИЧЕСКИЕ АСПЕКТЫ ВЫСТАВОЧНОЙ ДЕЯТЕЛЬНОСТИ В НЕФТЕГАЗОВОМ СЕКТОРЕ РОССИИ

The study is devoted to identifying the general and geographical features of the formation and functioning of exhibitions in the oil and gas sector of Russia. To this end, the author has compiled a database containing comparable information on all studied exhibitions: the name, the city, the venue, the organizer, the number of exhibitors, foreign exhibitors, the countries of participants, visitors, status of the exhibition. On this basis, the exhibitions were ranked according to each of the listed indicators, and the largest exhibitions have been identified; the description of exhibition activities at the level of federal districts is provided, with an emphasis on the intensity, territorial concentration, themes of exhibitions, and placement factors. There have been distinguished three exhibition areas in the industry under study: Central, Ural-Volga, Siberian. The paper presents the characteristics of the areas, shows differences in the total number of exhibition events, their status, venues, the status of organizing companies, exhibition themes, features of territorial concentration, and placement factors. Finally, the factors influencing the location of exhibitions of the oil and gas sector in Russia have been identified. Among them, special attention is paid to the presence of a well-developed business infrastructure that allows for quick and efficient resolution of any issues concerning the interaction between different entities of any sector of the economy; the presence of a well-developed exhibition infrastructure, making it possible to effectively serve the needs of participants in industry specific exhibitions (concentration of exhibition sites, warehouses, customs authorities, financial institutions, security services, communications, transport, accommodation facilities, public catering, etc.); good transport accessibility, specialization of the territory in the extraction and processing of oil and gas.

Is there a ‘Venice Effect’? Participation in the Venice Biennale and the implications for artists’ careers

Prestige is widely considered to positively influence the careers of artists, and the Venice Biennale is arguably the most prestigious event in the international visual arts calendar. This article examines the impact that appearing in the Venice Biennale has on artists’ careers. With a sample of 98 artists from six countries who participated in the Biennale in the 20 years between 1997 and 2017, we used data relating to artists’ exhibition activity over a 10 year window split equally prior to and after their appearance at Venice to test how appearance at the Biennale impacts on total exhibition activity, as well as on their solo and international exhibition activity. The article examines whether a positive ‘Venice effect’ can be identified in participating artists’ career development by comparing changes in exhibition activity. We test whether gender, career stage and representing a peripheral art country (as opposed to a core art country) has an impact on artists’ post-Venice Biennale exhibition activity level. The article finds no evidence to support the existence of a universal ‘Venice effect’ in the number of exhibitions that artists appear in after their appearance. However, two findings do suggest a limited positive impact. Firstly, more established artists appear in a greater proportion of international and solo exhibitions after their appearance at the Biennale, suggesting that the quality of exhibition opportunities increases as a result of their exposure at Venice. Secondly, one country – South Korea – experiences an increase in the volume of exhibition opportunity after their appearance at Venice. This increase is apparent across male and female artists, and at all career stages. The article argues that the influence of Biennale appearance on an artist's career depends on the approach taken to selection by the country they represent, as well as the approach taken to the Biennale opportunity by each cohort and individual artist.

DEVELOPMENT OF LACE MAKING IN TAMBOV PROVINCE IN THE SECOND HALF OF THE XIX - FIRST THIRD OF THE XX CENTURY

Evolution of the lace craft in Tambov Province in post-reform time and the period of the New Economic Policy is considered in the article. The centres of lacemaking in Tambov Province, both during the Tsarist Russia and the New Economic Policy period, were Ishchenskaya, Krasninskaya, Troekurovskaya and Cherepanskaya volosts of Lebedyansky (and after administrative reorganization of the province - Lipetsky) district. The main problem faced by lacemakers was the destructive activity of buyers. During monopolising the market, they were forcing needlewomen to operate at a loss. In pre-revolutionary Russia artisans were supported at different levels. Two allRussian homemade exhibitions were organised at the state level. Tambov zemstvo held a number of exhibitions, established lace schools and opened a craft store. A great contribution to the development of the craft was made by local patrons of the arts. However, despite considerable support, problems of local lacemakers could not be solved.When the Bolsheviks came to power it was observed that the artisanal lace production completely disappeared during the period of war communism, and only revived during the New Economic Policy period. The activities of buyers still had a negative impact on the development of lacemaking. The course taken to cooperate with artisans, which was supposed to solve this problem, ultimately failed, without achieving the desired result. The All-Russia agricultural and trade show, organized in 1923, was not a success either, since the handicrafts industry had not yet been able to recover and there was almost nothing to show. The revival of the craft was adversely affected by the persecution of the Tambov landowners who were engaged in patronage of the arts. In the end, the Bolshevik leadership also failed to solve the problems that were hindering the handicraft industry.

Mörk Materia / Dark Matter(s)

The practice-based research carried out throughout several projects and assembled in this exposition is structured around a rhizomatic nexus of still ongoing entries into plant-thinking and co-becoming with plants, partly based on photographic, photosynthetic and biosynthetic processes under the project framework Cogito ergo Pisum, partly based on archival findings, found footage, phenomena and related discourse. "Cogito, ergo sum" is a philosophical statement in Latin by René Descartes, usually translated into English as "I think, therefore I am". The phrase originally appeared in French as je pense, donc je suis in his Discourse on the Method, to reach a wider audience. Connecting and collapsing the notion of thinking with plants – or in this case gray peas of the species Pisum sativum var. arvense, transposed into "Cogito ergo Pisum" – is at the heart of this research. Within the project I am researching, developing and cross-breeding a flora of transdisciplinary experiments, new material studies and processes, that revolve around ways of rethinking, creating for and becoming with other life forms. Photographic, biosynthetic and agricultural methodologies are being used in Cogito ergo Pisum to both analyze and synthesize new ecologies. On the basis of horizontal (gene) transfer, hybridity and hospitality, a number of agents, patients and symbionts have been subject to material-semiotic and transgenic inquiries: Timo the artist and Timo the grey pea — bioart experiments involving horizontal transfer of my DNA to a grey pea cultivar (Pisum sativum var.arvense). Pisum Sativum used by Gregor Mendel in 1856 when unfolding many of the rules of heredity, now referred to as the laws of Mendelian inheritance, constitute a key plant in "Cogito ergo Pisum". Epidermodysplasia verruciformis, also known as Tree Man Syndrome, an extremely rare autosomal recessive genetic hereditary skin disorder, and Foliate heads, also known as Green men, constitute a highly symbolic reading of a hybrid plant-human being. Several works and results of the processes active in Cogito ergo Pisum have been installed in a number of exhibitions, many of which are ongoing or infinite by nature; presented in open archival or horizontal hybrid structures with documents, negative cyanotype photograms, wall drawings and lab notes on paper, mail correspondence, facsimile of illustrated manuscripts, and cultivations of growing grey pea seeds. Some of them, including literature, phenomena, found footage and historical events have later made it into the polyphonic performance reading "Mörk Materia / Dark Matter(s)", which has been adapted and reconfigured to the contexts it has been performed in. Using photographic and moving images, documents, objects, drawings and plant cultivations I am approaching, renegotiating and speculating about our common nature-culture, to both highlight and transform an increasingly dark matter: body, earth, space.

А.В. ХУДЯШЕВ (1885–1927): ЧЕРТЫ БИОГРАФИИ И АНАЛИЗ ТВОРЧЕСКОГО НАСЛЕДИЯ ХУДОЖНИКА

Alexander Khudyashev is a sculptor, painter, teacher, organizer who played a prominent role in the artistic life of two Siberian cities - Tomsk and Barnaul in the 10–20s of the twentieth century. This article, based on the documents found, represents for the first time the main stages of his life and work, active participation in the All-Siberian Association of Artists «New Siberia». Until recently, very little was known about the life and work of this artist. The authors of the article, relying on archival materials, restored the biography of A. Khudyashev, in particular, more fully covered the Barnaul period of his life. On the basis of the documents found in the State Archive of the Altai Krai, the facts of the early years of the master's biography, the period of study at the Kazan Art School, and studies at private art studios in Moscow became known. The article describes his organizational work in Tomsk: on the board of the Tomsk Society of Art Lovers, participating in annual periodic art exhibitions, organizing a number of exhibitions («Exhibition of paintings and sculptures by local artists» and «Autumn exhibition of local and non-resident authors»). In Novonikolaevsk (now Novosibirsk), together with the assistant of the Leipzig Royal Academy of Arts, Czech artist F. Havelka, he participated in the preparation of the first in the history of the city art exhibition of Tomsk and Novikolaevsk professional artists and students of the Tomsk Real School and private studio F. Havelka. The pedagogical activity of the master is noted: in parallel with the creative and organizational work, Khudyashev taught sculpture in F. Havelka’s private drawing classes, drawing in the theological schooland first city women’s school, as well as in the Mariinsky female gymnasium. In 1918, the artist returned to Barnaul, where, according to A. Khudyashev's questionnaire recently discovered in the State Archive of the Altai Territory, he continued his teaching activities at the Barnaul Pedagogical Technical School and at the Workers' Faculty, and also worked in the Altai provincial department of public education. In addition, the artist was engaged in design activities. Becoming a member of the AllSiberian Society of Artists «New Siberia», he took part in the First All-Siberian exhibition of painting, sculpture, graphics and architecture, opened by members of the "New Siberia" in 1927 in Novosibirsk. The history of the Museum of Fine Arts in Barnaul, the first art museum in Altai, is connected with the name of A. Khudyashev. In difficult historical times, the change of the social and political system, the civil war, the introduction of the New Economic Policy A.V. Khudyashev sought to save a unique collection of the first art museum in Altai, understanding the importance and necessity of his work for future generations. The article introduces for the first time into the scientific parlance and analyzes three of his remaining paintings, now stored in the State Art Museum of the Altai Krai, tells about the composition and fate of the collection of the Museum of Fine Arts in Barnaul.

Research on the principal factors and indicators of urban MICE competitiveness from the perspective of supply

Purpose Urban MICE competitiveness research consists of two clusters, one that is public-statistics-based and another that is questionnaire-based. Supply-side research on urban MICE competitiveness is rare. Based on the findings of Chen (2014) and other scholars, the purpose of this paper is to design counterpart statistical indicators to empirically analyze CMCA member cities. Design/methodology/approach After calculating the standardized Z value of the original statistical data for 17 CMCA member cities, the authors conducted confirmatory factor analysis for the first-level principal components, based on which hierarchical clustering was performed; then, regression analysis was conducted with the MICE profit factor as the dependent variable and the cost factor, tight support factor and facilitating factor as the independent variables to support publishing articles. Findings The confirmatory factor analysis showed that the urban MICE competitiveness indicators from the supply-side perspective include the profit factor, cost factor, tight support factor and facilitating factor. Research limitations/implications On the basis of research findings from the demand perspective and the literature review, the authors constructed an urban MICE competitiveness indicator system from the perspective of the supply side and conducted principal component analysis. However, because of the inaccessibility of panel data, the current data were only sufficient to conduct the research. If panel data could be acquired, further research could be conducted to perfect the current indicator system for urban MICE competitiveness. Practical implications The findings suggest that tourism total income, tourism foreign exchange income, inbound tourist number, number of exhibitions, exhibition area, number of UFI member cities and number of ICCA member cities were the main reason for the gap between different cities’ competitiveness and the reform focus for improving urban MICE competitiveness. The cost factor had a significantly negative influence on urban MICE competitiveness, implying that the higher the average hotel room price and revenue per available room, the less competitive the MICE host city is. Social implications The tight support factor exerts a significant positive influence on urban MICE competitiveness from the supply-side perspective, while the cost factor exerts a significant negative influence. The findings suggest that the tourism total income, tourism foreign exchange income, inbound tourist number, number of exhibitions, exhibition area, number of UFI member cities and number of ICCA member cities were the main reason for the gap between different cities’ competitiveness and the reform focus for improving urban MICE competitiveness. The cost factor had a significantly negative influence on urban MICE competitiveness, implying that the higher the average hotel room price and revenue per available room, the less competitive the MICE host city is. Originality/value The research bridge the empirical statistics and the questionnaire-based perception study on urban MICE tourism image, and advance to construct an empirical statistics based indicator system for urban MICE tourism image.

El arquitecto y los inicios del diseño industrial en España

Until the Civil War, design had been studied by only a few professionals. The greatest advance in this area occurred in the 1950s, due to the efforts of a number of architects like Carlos de Miguel, Luis Feduchi, Javier Carvajal, Antoni Moragas and José Antonio Coderch, among others. They promoted a sequence of initiatives that intended to raise public awareness of the need for “good design”. Among them, a considerable number of exhibitions and competitions were hold, as well as the creation of institutions for industrial design. The boost from the architects was an essential factor for its development. This paper analyzes the important role played by architects in the beginning of the Spanish industrial design.

한복 브랜드의 현황과 미적특성

Korea traditional dresses are making news everyday through popular media and a number of exhibitions and fashion shows that have been held as a way to activate the use of the hanbok. This study intends to examine the current status of handbook brands and analyze the aesthetic characteristics of the hanbok. This study defined the terms related with the hanbok and examined the chronological changes in the hanbok through a literature review, an examination of the aesthetic characteristics of Korean traditional clothing, and an analysis of the aesthetic characteristics by dividing currently available hanbok brands in to the traditional hanbok. According to the results of the study, hanbok brands were divided into Traditional Hanbok, Life Hanbok, and New Hanbok. The Traditional Hanbok brands represented traditional beauty, the beauty of formality, symbolic beauty, and the beauty of nature. The Life Hanbok brands represented symbolic beauty, natural beauty, the beauty of blending, and the proportional beauty. The New Hanbok brands represented natural beauty, unproportaional beauty, the beauty of line, and the beauty of moderation. Therefore the New Hanboks gave changes to the traditional clothing and the unique clothing of our nation. Its formative elements coexist according to their characteristics.

Microscopy & Microanalysis 2015

The Microscopy Society of America (MSA), the Microanalysis Society (MAS), and the International Metallographic Society (IMS), the world’s leading triumvirate of societies showcasing the smaller worlds around us, had the most successful Microscopy & Microanalysis meeting to date (M&M 2015). The meeting was held in beautiful Portland, Oregon, August 2–6. As a host city, Portland provided outstanding weather, facilities, and hospitality. The conference included 43 symposia with a total of 1,294 scientific presentations (847 talks and 447 posters). There were 1,843 scientific attendees and 1,377 exhibitors representing 122 companies. Thus, total attendance was a new all-time high of 3,220 registrants. This attendance number was over 10% higher than any previous year. The number of exhibitors was up 18% over 2014; the exhibition showcased the most innovative microscopy and microanalysis gear on the planet. From the pre-meeting congress, workshops, and opening reception on Sunday until the last session on Thursday, the crowds were noticeable to all who attended.

The 1927 Royal Commission in Rockhampton: a window onto regional exhibition

Of all the Australian states, Queensland had the highest number of exhibitors who gave evidence to the Royal Commission, with 22 out of the national total of 53. In Rockhampton, the three exhibitors who gave evidence represented all five cinemas in the town. These exhibitors spoke from the perspective of different exhibition models: the large chain, the family business and the second-run suburban cinema. With brief comparisons to evidence given in other Queensland towns, this study of the Rockhampton exhibitors' submissions reveals the concerns of regional picture-show operators and the likes and dislikes of regional audiences. While exhibitors found much to complain about in the Americans' large-scale, centralised business practices, there was a surprising degree of acceptance, suggesting that further close exploration of the Royal Commission evidence can reveal much about regional Australia's interactions with local, national and global culture.

Lost in Translation? Interpreting contemporary Chinese photography

Contemporary art by Chinese artists was, before the financial crash of 2008, one of the fastest growing areas of the art market. In the period 2000 to 2012 a substantial number of exhibitions and texts were dedicated to the art of those working with lens-based media. In this way “Contemporary Chinese Photography” has emerged as a subset of contemporary art from China. Despite the fact that much of what has been written in the last forty years about the politics of representation would suggest that it is unsound to have a category of art production determined by the makers’ ethnicity, there is a great deal of actual and symbolic investment in this particular branch of contemporary art. A dominant idea at work in much of the secondary literature that seeks to introduce Westerners to the subject is that in viewing these works we are learning something about modern China and its inhabitants. This article argues that if this art appears legible to us, then one reason for this is because it has been made so by its art world interpreters and, in the process, become market-friendly.

Diversità distrutta. Un anno di mostre a Berlino fra Weimar e nazismo

Design of SAAS Model-Based System of Exhibition Management

Aiming at existing exhibitions, informationized management system can only meet the requirement of monomer exhibition management, but which cannot meet the needs of management chain and integration of resources of a large number of exhibitions together. For the traditional B2B e-commerce only provides a platform of exchanging information and communication for the supplier and requisitioning party, we design a SAAS-based management platform to build management of all the management works of an amount of actual exhibitions, as well as the use of rich media technology for Webcast and interactive of activities of the exhibition, and reduction of management costs in all of the procedures, which builds virtual year-round exhibitions online, based on the exhibition system and huge B2B resources to realize the target of constructing a B2B e-commerce platform which keeps a complementary and coexistence of online-operating and virtual year-round exhibitions, and more operational efficiency as well.
