The community of artists at the BSR is not only the community of any given year, but stretches back across a century. I have been reminded of this through this year as the paths of current and past award-holders have crossed and intertwined. The last event of the academic year saw six former award-holders, Joey Bryniarska, Mick Finch, Louisa Minkin, Emma Talbot, Susan Trangmar and Martin Westwood, all currently at Central Saint Martins, returning to the BSR with other colleagues to talk about concepts of spolia and relic. Each carried their own memories of the BSR, and recalled connections made here; for example, Jacopo Benci talked about Michel Serres, an author he encountered with Susan Trangmar. Several current award-holders participated. It was a reminder that the BSR unites across time.

Another reminder of the success and interdisciplinarity of our former award-holders has come with news of Cornelia Parker’s trio of recent accomplishments: her critically acclaimed solo exhibition at The Whitworth in Manchester (which marked its reopening), her Royal Academy-curated installation at London’s St Pancras International Station and her Magna Carta (An Embroidery) project at the British Library, specially commissioned for the anniversary of the Magna Carta. As the latter was unveiled — or unrolled — Helen Sear opened her exhibition for Wales at the Venice Biennale. Thanks to the British Council, BSR award-holders were able to visit the Biennale’s vernissage this year.

Other highlights of this year include an inspiring lecture by Nathan Coley as part of the Craignish Trust Visiting Artist Programme, and lectures by Bernice Donszelmann and Tim Renshaw, Vanessa Jackson, and Joey Bryniarska and Martin Westwood, supported by a grant from the Arts Club Charitable Trust to the Abbey Council. We were also delighted to have been able to work with Christie’s to organise a fascinating study afternoon on collecting and the international art market. Marina Engel’s programme on architecture and the creative process concluded with a challenging exhibition and conversation between artists Alfredo Pirri and Thomas Schütte on the boundaries between art and architecture.

Marco Palmieri has built on the success of last year by assisting our award-holders with a number of external shows. Our own exhibitions have been expertly

La comunità di artisti residenti alla BSR non è costituita soltanto dal gruppo di ogni singolo anno, ma si prolunga lungo tutto un secolo. Questa realtà è stata confermata dal fatto che quest’anno i percorsi dei borsisti attuali e di quelli del passato si sono incrociati e intrecciati. L’ultimo evento dell’anno accademico ha visto tornare alla BSR sei borsisti degli scorsi anni, Joey Bryniarska, Mick Finch, Louisa Minkin, Emma Talbot, Susan Trangmar e Martin Westwood, tutti attualmente al Central Saint Martins, che, insieme ad altri relatori, hanno partecipato ad un evento sul concetto di spolia e reliquie. Ognuno di loro ha portato con sé i propri ricordi della BSR e si è ricollegato alle relazioni intessute qui; tra gli altri Jacopo Benci ci ha parlato di Michel Serres, un autore incontrato con Susan Trangmar. Molti borsisti di quest’anno hanno preso parte a questo evento, che ci ha dato così l’opportunità di ricordare come la BSR unisca le persone attraverso il tempo.

Un altro esempio del successo e dell’inter-disciplinarietà dei nostri ex borsisti, è arrivato dalla notizia di ben tre traguardi raggiunti da Cornelia Parker: la sua mostra personale, acclamata dalla critica, alla Whitworth di Manchester (che ne ha segnato la riapertura), la sua installazione alla St Pancras International Station di Londra, curata dalla Royal Academy, e il suo progetto alla British Library Magna Carta (An Embroidery), commissionato espressamente per l’anniversario della Magna Carta. Mentre si presentava la mostra alla British Library, Helen Sear ha inaugurato la sua esposizione alla Biennale di Venezia come rappresentante per il Galles. Grazie al British Council, i borsisti della BSR hanno avuto modo quest’anno di partecipare al vernissage della Biennale.

Sempre per quanto riguarda lo scorso anno accademico c’è da evidenziare, inoltre, un’interessante conferenza di Nathan Coley, parte del Craignish Trust Visiting Artist Programme, e le conferenze di Bernice Donszelmann e Tim Renshaw, Vanessa Jackson, e Joey Bryniarska e Martin Westwood, rese possibili grazie al contributo dell’Arts Club Charitable Trust attraverso l’Abbey Council. Siamo stati molto lieti di aver avuto anche l’occasione di lavorare con Christie’s per organizzare un coinvolgente pomeriggio di studio sul collezionismo ed il mercato d’arte internazionale.

put together by Marco and a team of interns, and are attracting ever greater audiences. Our June mostra was the BSR’s contribution to Rome’s International Festival of Culture, co-organised with embassies, cultural institutes and the other foreign academies. BSR art is clearly on the Rome cultural map.

None of this would be possible without the generous support of the trusts, foundations and individuals who co-fund our awards. It is as ever a pleasure and honour to thank the Australia Council for the Arts; the Australian Experimental Art Foundation (with Cibo Espresso, the Helpmann Academy and Arts SA); the Conseil des Arts et des Lettres du Québec; Creative Scotland; the Derek Hill Foundation; the Incorporated Edwin Austin Abbey Memorial Scholarships; the Linbury Trust; the National Art School, Sydney; the Nicholas Berwin Charitable Trust; and the William Fletcher Foundation (NSW, Australia); as well as the private donors to the Rome Prize in Architecture, including Robert Adam, Bob Allies, Tim Bell, Jeremy Blake, Peter Harris, Eric Parry, Hugh Petter and Robert Tavernor. This funding is absolutely essential, for the BSR receives no government funding for its Fine Arts programme, and contributes from its own resources to sustain a full studio programme.

We are extremely grateful to the members of the BSR’s Faculty of the Fine Arts and to other members of selection panels. They continue to devote much time and care to the selection of artists and architects, appointing people who, in addition to being excellent in their own fields, contribute significantly to the BSR’s interdisciplinary community.

We are determined to continue to build support for this remarkable community. As we enter our second century in the BSR’s current building, we are able at last to complete the renovation of the studios, begun by my predecessor, with new skylights, new double-glazed doors and windows, and better ventilation. With this behind us, our goal must be to create an ever sounder footing for a second century of artists at the BSR.

curato da Marina Engel si è concluso con una mostra e una conversazione tra Alfredo Pirri e Thomas Schütte sui confini tra arte e architettura.

Marco Palmieri ha confermato il successo ottenuto lo scorso anno aiutando i nostri borsisti ad organizzare diverse esposizioni esterne. Le mostre del nostro anno accademico sono state curate da Marco con l’aiuto di un team di collaboratori, e hanno attirato un numero sempre crescente di visitatori. La mostra di giugno è stata inclusa nel Festa Internazionale di Cultura di Roma, organizzata con le ambasciate, gli istituti culturali e altre accademie straniere. La BSR, con il suo programma di arti visive, è senza dubbio inserita del circuito culturale romano.

Niente di tutto questo sarebbe stato possibile senza il generoso contributo degli enti, delle fondazioni e dei privati che hanno aiutato a sostenere le nostre borse di studio. È come sempre un piacere e un onore ringraziare l’Australia Council for the Arts; l’Australian Experimental Art Foundation (con Cibo Espresso, l’Helpmann Academy ed Arts SA); il Conseil des Arts et des Lettres du Québec; Creative Scotland; la Derek Hill Foundation; l’Incorporated Edwin Austin Abbey Memorial Scholarships; il Linbury Trust; la National Art School di Sydney; il Nicholas Berwin Charitable Trust; e la William Fletcher Foundation (NSW, Australia); e tutti i sostenitori privati del Rome Prize in Architecture: Robert Adam, Bob Allies, Tim Bell, Jeremy Blake, Peter Harris, Eric Parry, Hugh Petter e Robert Tavernor. Questi contributi sono assolutamente essenziali, visto che la BSR non riceve fondi pubblici per il programma delle arti visive e quindi deve concorrere con le proprie risorse per sostenerlo.

Siamo estremamente grati ai membri della Faculty of the Fine Arts della BSR e agli altri componenti dei vari comitati per la selezione dei borsisti. Tutti loro continuano a dedicare molto tempo e impegno alla scelta di artisti ed architetti, selezionando persone che, oltre ad essere straordinarie nei loro campi di interesse, portano il proprio considerevole contributo alla comunità interdisciplinare della BSR.

Siamo determinati a continuare a sostenere questa straordinaria comunità. Entrando nel secondo secolo dalla costruzione dell’attuale edificio della BSR, siamo finalmente in grado di completare il restauro degli studi per gli artisti, cominciato dal mio predecessore, con nuovi lucernari, nuove porte e finestre in doppio vetro e un miglior sistema di aerazione. Lasciandoci questo alle spalle, il nostro obiettivo sarà quello di raggiungere una posizione ancora più risonante per un nuovo secolo di artisti alla BSR.

Introduction / Introduzione

This year, there have been numerous conversations in the British School at Rome about ‘Inspiring creative research’. With elegant simplicity, these three words promote a strong and important message that stands as a core value of the BSR; culture is a vital asset, which needs constant and attentive support. The aim of the Fine Arts residency programme is specifically to inspire creative research. Our award-holders’ exhibitions, their works, their lines of research truly stand out and impact various aspects of our collective creative culture, within Italy and in the rest of the world. This catalogue offers us a brief glimpse into the work produced during their stay and their numerous achievements.

Throughout the year, many people have contributed to fostering the work of our award-holders: the generous support of the funding bodies that make such residencies possible; the hard work of all the BSR staff; and the numerous curators and directors from galleries and museums around Rome who come to meet the award-holders in their studios, as well as visits by BSR Council and Faculty of the Fine Arts members. The numerous talks and lectures, as well as organised visits to sites, museums and galleries, provide inspiration for the resident artists, often taking their ideas and work in new and exciting directions.

The on-going architecture programme, Meeting Architecture: Architecture and the Creative Process, curated by Marina Engel, provides a series of exciting talks and conversations between architects and other eminent individuals from various sectors of the creative industries. Jacopo Benci, our Senior Research Fellow in Modern Studies and Contemporary Visual Culture, dedicated an event to Superstudio, the architecture studio founded in Florence in 1966: a screening of their two films — Supersurface: Life and Ceremony — was followed by a conversation between Superstudio co-founder and archivist Piero Frassinelli and Jacopo Benci.

Thanks to the support of the Craignish Trust, the BSR was able to host a talk by the artist Nathan Coley, with the title NEVER TRUST A LOVING GOD. The artist discussed many of his earlier and current works with the audience, exploring the ideas and lines of research feeding into his practice. He also visited many of the award-holders in their studios, developing conversations that were initiated by his talk.

Quest’anno alla BSR si è molto parlato di ‘Inspiring creative research’. Con elegante semplicità queste tre parole lanciano un messaggio forte ed essenziale che rappresenta il valore primario della BSR; la cultura è un bene vitale, che necessita di un sostegno costante ed attento. L’obiettivo del programma di arte visiva è esattamente quello di ispirare ricerca creativa. Le mostre dei nostri borsisti, le loro opere, i loro percorsi di ricerca, si distinguono e influenzano realmente i diversi aspetti della nostra cultura creativa collettiva, sia in Italia che nel resto del mondo. Questo catalogo permette di posare per un attimo lo sguardo sulle opere create durante il soggiorno romano dei nostri borsisti e sui risultati da loro ottenuti.

Nel corso dell’anno, molte persone hanno contribuito a promuovere il lavoro dei nostri borsisti: il generoso contributo degli enti che finanziano le borse di studio, il lavoro di tutto il personale della BSR, i numerosi curatori e direttori delle gallerie e dei musei di Roma che si sono resi disponibili ad incontrare i nostri artisti nei loro studi, e tutti i membri del Council e della Faculty of the Fine Arts che sono venuti in visita alla BSR. Fonte di ispirazione per gli artisti sono state le numerose conferenze e convegni e le frequenti visite a siti, musei e gallerie, attività che hanno spesso portato le loro idee e il loro lavoro in nuove e stimolanti direzioni.

Nel programma di architettura Meeting Architecture: Architecture and the Creative Process, curato da Marina Engel, sono state inserite una serie di interessanti conferenze e conversazioni tra architetti ed altre illustri figure provenienti dai vari settori dell’industria creativa. Jacopo Benci, nostro Senior Research Fellow in Modern Studies and Contemporary Visual Culture, ha dedicato un evento a Superstudio, lo studio di architettura fondato a Firenze nel 1966: alla proiezione di due loro film — Supersurface: Life e Ceremony — è seguita una conversazione tra uno dei fondatori e l’archivista di Superstudio, Piero Frassinelli, e Jacopo Benci.

Grazie al sostegno del Craignish Trust, la BSR ha potuto ospitare una conferenza dell’artista Nathan Coley, dal titolo: NEVER TRUST A LOVING GOD, durante la quale l’autore ha avuto uno scambio di opinioni sulla sua produzione passata e recente, e ha esposto le idee ed i percorsi di ricerca da cui nascono i suoi lavori. L’artista ha anche incontrato molti dei

As a result of a generous grant from the Arts Club Charitable Trust to the Abbey Council, we had the privilege to welcome back Bernice Donszelmann and Tim Renshaw, Vanessa Jackson, and Joey Bryniarska and Martin Westwood, all former award-holders. In addition to giving talks, they spent time with the award-holders and made studio visits.

In June, Martin Westwood, together with Mick Finch, organised a workshop, Headstone to Hard Drive III. Spolia, Relic, Data. This ambitious one-day event brought together a large and distinguished number of artists, historians and art historians to explore the concepts of spolia and relic.

Important highlights each year for the Fine Arts residency programme are the three Mostre, which take place in December, March and June. These group exhibitions present the ongoing work of the current award-holders, introducing the outcome of their stay in Rome to the Roman audience. December Mostra included work by Adam Nathaniel Furman, Rowena Harris, Nancy Milner, Gill Ord, Florian Roithmayr and Emily Speed. During March Mostra, the following award-holders exhibited their work: Georges Audet, Adam Nathaniel Furman, Paul James Gomes, Rowena Harris, Gregory Hodge, David McCue, Gina Medcalf and Nancy Milner. The final show of the academic year, June Mostra, included work by Angela Brennan, Rowena Harris, Alexi Keywan, Nancy Milner, Catherine O’Donnell and Daniel Sinsel.

These three shows were made possible thanks to the hard work of all the artists, and the support of all the BSR staff. Further help was offered by the generous technical support of the Fine Arts interns: Giulia Carletti, Francesca Gallo, Stella Rendina and Anne Stelzer dedicated numerous hours to helping to install and invigilate the shows.

The Mostre offered many members of the Roman audience an opportunity to see and further explore the practice of our award-holders. These moments of exchange between the BSR and the city of Rome are important, but engagement with the city is not limited to these three exhibitions. Many of our award-holders, present and past, have exhibited in Rome throughout the year.

In January, former award-holder Eddie Peake (Abbey Scholar in Painting 2008–9) visited Rome for the opening of his solo show at Galleria Lorcan O’Neill. In February, Eddie Peake and Rowena Harris (Sainsbury Scholar in Painting and Sculpture) were included in the group show Conversation Piece | Part 1 at the Fondazione Memmo. In March the work of Ursula Burke

borsisti nei loro studi, portando avanti il dibattito nato dalla sua conferenza.

Come risultato di una generosa donazione da parte dell’Arts Club Charitable Trust all’Abbey Council, abbiamo avuto il privilegio di accogliere nuovamente i nostri ex borsisti Bernice Donszelmann e Tim Renshaw, Vanessa Jackson, e Joey Bryniarska e Martin Westwood, che, oltre a tenere le proprie conferenze, hanno avuto modo di incontrare i borsisti nei loro studi.

Nel mese di giugno, Martin Westwood e Mick Finch hanno organizzato un seminario dal titolo Headstone to Hard Drive III. Spolia, Relic, Data. Questo ambizioso evento ha visto la partecipazione di un gran numero di eminenti artisti, storici e storici dell’arte che hanno preso in esame il concetto di spolia e reliquie.

Ogni anno il punto di forza del programma di arti visive è costituito dalle tre Mostre, che si svolgono a dicembre, marzo e giugno. Queste mostre collettive presentano le opere dei borsisti e consentono di esporre al pubblico romano i risultati del lavoro svolto durante la residenza a Roma. Nella December Mostra erano esposte le opere di Adam Nathaniel Furman, Rowena Harris, Nancy Milner, Gill Ord, Florian Roithmayr ed Emily Speed. Durante la March Mostra abbiamo visto il lavoro di Georges Audet, Adam Nathaniel Furman, Paul James Gomes, Rowena Harris, Gregory Hodge, David McCue, Gina Medcalf e Nancy Milner. La mostra finale dell’anno accademico, June Mostra, ha messo insieme le opere di Angela Brennan, Rowena Harris, Alexi Keywan, Nancy Milner, Catherine O’Donnell e Daniel Sinsel.

Questi tre eventi sono stati realizzati grazie al grande impegno degli artisti e al contributo di tutto il personale della BSR, al quale si aggiunge il generoso sostegno tecnico di diversi stagisti che hanno dedicato molto del loro tempo aiutando nella cura dell’allestimento e durante la vigilanza delle mostre: Giulia Carletti, Francesca Gallo, Stella Rendina e Anne Stelzer.

Le mostre offrono al nutrito pubblico romano l’opportunità di vedere e studiare attentamente le attività dei nostri borsisti. Questi momenti di scambio tra la BSR e la città di Roma sono fondamentali, ma il coinvolgimento con la città non si limita a questi tre eventi. Molti dei nostri borsisti presenti e passati, infatti, hanno avuto durante l’anno l’opportunità di allestire mostre in altre sedi a Roma.

A gennaio il nostro ex borsista Eddie Peake (Abbey Scholar in Painting 2008–9) ha inaugurato la sua personale alla Galleria Lorcan O’Neill. In febbraio Eddie Peake e Rowena Harris (Sainsbury Scholar in

Painting and Sculpture) hanno partecipato alla mostra collettiva Conversation Piece | Part 1 alla Fondazione Memmo. Nel mese di marzo i lavori di Ursula Burke (Arts Council of Northern Ireland Fellow 2013–14) sono stati esposti nella collettiva Displacements. The Trouble With Being Human These Days alla galleria Ex Elettrofonica. A giugno, Catherine O’Donnell (National Art School, Sydney, Resident in Drawing) e Nancy Milner (Abbey Scholar in Painting) hanno partecipato alla mostra collettiva organizzata dall’Accademia di Romania: Spazi Aperti. Infine, l’anno accademico si è concluso, sempre nel mese di giugno, con la personale di Rowena Harris, Being both on and within, as I said, alla Gallery Apart.

Questo rapido elenco di eventi può dare un’idea del tipo di impatto che artisti, architetti e videomaker hanno sulla città durante e dopo la loro residenza alla BSR. Non c’è bisogno di dire che questo effetto si espande ben oltre Roma. Alla Biennale di Venezia, quest’anno, Helen Sear (Rome Awardee 1992–3 e attuale membro della Faculty of the Fine Arts della BSR) rappresenta il Galles con la sua mostra … the rest is smoke. Altri esempi dei risultati ottenuti dai nostri ex borsisti si possono trovare nel nostro Annual Review.

Il dialogo aperto con la città quest’anno è dimostrato anche dalle visite agli studi da parte di eminenti figure del mondo artistico internazionale: Anna d’Amelio Carbone (direttore della Fondazione Memmo), Fabrizio Del Signore (direttore di Gallery Apart), Adrienne Drake (curatore della Fondazione Giuliani), Hou Hanru (direttore del MAXXI), Manuela Pacella (curatore), Armando Porcari (direttore di Gallery Apart), Carolina Pozzi (editore di WheresArt), Marcello Smarrelli (curatore del Pastificio Cerere) e Carmen Stolfi (editore di WheresArt).

(Arts Council of Northern Ireland Fellow 2013–14) was included in the group show Displacements. The Trouble With Being Human These Days at the gallery Ex Elettrofonica. In June, Catherine O’Donnell (National Art School, Sydney, Resident in Drawing) and Nancy Milner (Abbey Scholar in Painting) were included in the group show Spazi Aperti at the Romanian Academy. The academic year ended with Rowena Harris’s solo show in June, Being both on and within, as I said, at the Gallery Apart.

This small selection of achievements provides an impression of the sort of impact that the artists, architects and filmmakers make in the city during and after their residencies at the BSR. Needless to say, their impact expands far beyond Rome. At this year’s Venice Biennale, Helen Sear (Rome Awardee 1992–3, and current member of the BSR’s Faculty of the Fine Arts) is representing Wales, with her exhibition … the rest is smoke. Further examples of the achievements of past award-holders can be found in our Annual Review.

The ongoing dialogue with the city has also developed this year through continuous studio visits by various significant figures from the art world, to engage directly with our award-holders: Anna d’Amelio Carbone (director of Fondazione Memmo), Fabrizio Del Signore (director of Gallery Apart), Adrienne Drake (curator of Fondazione Giuliani), Hou Hanru (director of MAXXI), Manuela Pacella (curator), Armando Porcari (director of Gallery Apart), Carolina Pozzi (editor of WheresArt), Marcello Smarrelli (curator of Pastificio Cerere) and Carmen Stolfi (editor of WheresArt).
