CR
This was a year of introducing change, consolidating strengths and making the new staffing structure, introduced in 2010/11, work effectively.
After a successful year with the launch of British Art Show 7, featuring seminal artists like Christian Marclay, the challenge was on in order to sustain and grow momentum.
EXECUTIVE OFFICER REPORT
C H I E F
CEO
At NAE I believe we should ‘think and deliver the new’ and in 2011/12 there were many new introductions including new staff, board members, programmes and partnerships. It was also a year of consolidation and the settling in of a refined team structure. We continued to introduce novel strands and activities, hosting, incubating and growing a successful artistic programme and introduced a strong framework for organisational development and change.
Theyearincludedmanyhighlights;thepurchaseofFloatingCoffinsbyTATEandourprojectCultureCloudreceivingpilotfundingfromNESTA,anindependentUK-basedcharitywithamissiontohelppeopleandorganisationsbringgreatideastolife,ACE(ArtsCouncilEngland)andAHRC(ArtsandHumanitiesResearchCouncil).ThisremindedmeofhowfarwehadtravelledasanorganisationbutalsoasaphysicalspacemorphingfromastronggrassrootshistoryintoNewArtExchange,acontemporarycreativeinstigator.
