5 STEPHEN J. MILNER — DIRECTOR
This is my first preface to the institution that is the British School at Rome Fine Arts catalogue. Over the last twelve months I have had the pleasure of following the work that is being undertaken in the BSR Archive on the Fine Arts programme, its history and award-holders.
During the year, one of our researchers from Australia drew my attention to a newspaper cutting from the Daily Mail dated March 1923. The piece, which was entitled ‘British Students in Rome’, was a review of the work of BSR award-holders on show at the Royal Academy. Under the subtitle ‘What are the scholars of the British School at Rome doing?’, the anonymous critic noted that the work was ‘terribly disappointing’.
The reason the cutting is in the BSR archive is that the review hit a raw nerve with the then Director, Thomas Ashby. Writing to the Honorary General Secretary of the BSR in London, Evelyn Shaw, Ashby noted that there was ‘a good deal of annoyance out here’ and enquired what was to be done. Shaw’s brief reply included the pithy rejoinder ‘We are lucky to get the Press to write about us at all’.
I would like to think those days are now long gone. The three mostre we hold in Rome during the course of the year and the increasing contact we have with Italian galleries and other Academies in Rome sees the work of our resident artists on regular display. The lectures by former award-holders and invited speakers, and the Fine Arts catalogue itself, are an eloquent witness to what is going on in Rome today.
As art historians and BSR scholars begin to delve into the archive of past award-holders and re-examine their work, it also will become more apparent what was also going on in Rome in the past, including some of the artists mentioned in the 1923 review. Only this year Sacha Llewelyn was awarded the William MB Berger Prize for British Art History by the President of the Royal Academy of Arts for her monograph Winifred Knights 1899–1947. Over 90 years after the Daily Mail’s disappointment, the Guardian hailed Knights, a female artist who drew heavily on Italian Renaissance fresco and panel painting, as an ‘unknown genius’. Such are the fortunes of artistic careers.
This year I would like to thank Marco Palmieri for all the hard work he has done over the last few years in curating the Fine Art programme, and to welcome
Marta Pellerini, who joined us in February 2018 as Visual Art Curator. The care, commitment and quality of their work has been outstanding.
The support we receive from our sponsors is also humbling. The Fine Arts at the BSR does not receive any public funding, and it is only because of the remarkable generosity of a series of trusts, foundations and individuals that we are able to support the residencies we offer. I would like to thank the Arts Council of Northern Ireland; the Arts Council of Wales (sponsored by the Welsh Government and supported by The National Lottery); the Augusta Charitable Trust; the Bridget Riley Art Foundation; the Conseil des Arts et des Lettres du Québec; the Derek Hill Foundation; the Giles Worsley Fund (in collaboration with the RIBA); the Helpmann Academy (with David and Pam McKee, and The Lang Foundation); the Incorporated Edwin Austin Abbey Memorial Scholarships; the Linbury Trust; the National Art School, Sydney (with Jennifer Dowling); the Nicholas Berwin Charitable Trust (with Karsten Schubert, Keir McGuinness and Alex Hooi); the Wallace Arts Trust; and the supporters of the Scholars’ Prize in Architecture (The Carpenters’ Company, London, as well as by and on behalf of a number of former architecture award-holders at the BSR (Robert Adam, Bob Allies, Tim Bell, Jeremy Blake, Adam Nathaniel Furman and Hugh Petter)).
We are delighted that new residencies are joining established ones, and we are also very grateful to all those who have supported visiting artists’ talks and studio visits, and in particular Mrs Robin Hambro for her invaluable support of the Fine Art programme this year. All of this generosity is critical for our future, and for sustaining the vibrant culture of the BSR.
The BSR will continue to support artists, often at the early stage of their careers, offering them the chance to join other practitioners and scholars in a community that has as its priority creativity and inspiration. The seeds sown in Rome often germinate after the residency, and the experience often proves formative in a manner not imagined at the outset. The BSR’s studios will continue to be spaces of experimentation and reflection, and the work produced in them bears witness to the continued generative power of the dialogue a BSR residency enables between Rome, Italy and the wider world.

8MARTA PELLERINI — VISUAL ART CURATOR
This year I was given the extraordinary opportunity to work as the Visual Art Curator at the British School at Rome. On entering this renowned centre for multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary research, one has the perception of entering into a unique community, where artists, archaeologists and historians live and work in a dynamic space of exchange and collaboration.
To observe the daily practice and routines of the award-holders has been truly insightful, and proven to me the vital importance of fostering and supporting their research and growth. The BSR acts as a testament to the view that the work of our award-holders is both invaluable and necessary: that these dynamic, creative individuals not only hold a mirror to, but also shape and define, our contemporary culture.
The cross-pollination of knowledge and experience between artists and academics is integral to the BSR. It is propelled and enriched by a series of visiting artist talks kindly supported by the generosity of Robin Hambro and of a donor who wishes to honour the memory of Felicity Powell (1961–2015; Gulbenkian Rome Scholar at the BSR 1986–7). This is complemented by the ambitious programme of events organised by Marina Engel and Tom True.
This year, we had the privilege to host lectures by Denzil Forrester, John Russell, Nicholas Hatfull (in conversation with Marco Palmieri) and Allison Katz. Each artist presented a talk about their practice and recent projects, offered studio visits to the artists, and was our honoured dinner guest alongside invited curators, writers and gallerists. It was fascinating to have Denzil Forrester (Rome Scholar in Painting 1983–4) and more recent BSR alumnus Nicholas Hatfull (Sainsbury Scholar in Painting and Sculpture 2011–12) as guests: Nicholas’s poetically scenic lecture gave a glimpse into how Rome and the BSR continue to reverberate through the work and lives of our scholars for many years after their time in Rome.
I would like to thank all of the people who generously gave their time to visit the studios of the award-holders this year, particularly Manuela Contino (director at Monitor Rome/Lisbon), Adrienne Drake (curator at Fondazione Giuliani), Marta Federici (gallery manager at Gavin Brown’s Enterprise New York/Rome), Manuela Pacella (independent curator), Marta Silvi (contributor of Flash Art Italia), Saverio Verini (curator
at Fondazione Memmo) and Sara Zanin (owner of z2o Sara Zanin Gallery). These visits introduce the artists and their work to a wider context in Rome, sharpen critical thought and develop exciting new relationships and collaborations. This is particularly demonstrated by the solo show by Gabriel Hartley (Abbey Fellow in Painting), titled Spoiled, at Sara Zanin Gallery in June and July, a product of his residency. Finally, I am extremely grateful to Vivien Lovell and Maria Chevska, members of the BSR’s Faculty of the Fine Arts, for having spent much of their time in Rome with our artists, making studio visits.
Through continual dialogue and development, the award-holders produce work that is exhibited in our Mostre, exhibitions that present the fruitful endeavours of our artists every three months. In this, my first, year as Visual Art Curator, I have had the pleasure to curate these exhibitions, where the presence of Rome as a city and stimulus is palpable: organs of baroque churches, ancient pagan rites of Republican Rome, the films of Pier Paolo Pasolini glimmer in the work.
We are particularly grateful to Mrs Robin Hambro, for her generous support of the Fine Art Programme this year (including the exhibitions so richly represented in these pages).
I offer my special thanks to all of the BSR staff and of course our award-holders for their dedicated hard work; and to the Fine Arts Programme interns — Cristiana Cordova, Jacqueline Davies, Antonia Di Nucci, Elinor Staniforth and Chiara Traversaro — for all of their technical support.
It has been a privilege to work with the BSR residency programme this year, in an institution that centralises the value of creative dialogue, research, collaboration and production. I look forward to continuing the BSR’s hard work and commitment to these ideals, and embarking on new projects.
