Opening Lecture Gerri Morris: The Importance of Exhibitions in Cities

Temporary exhibitions are a major feature of London’s cultural offer, and provide an ever-changing source of cultural sustenance for Londoners and a focus for visitors to the capital. There is a wide range of temporary, paid-for exhibitions running in London at any time, with hugely varied subjects and curatorial approaches. While some will successfully attract large audiences throughout their run, some will struggle, seeing lower visitor numbers than they had hoped for in general, or great variation in visitor numbers at different points in their run. Why is this? What makes an exhibition successful?
In this session, Gerri Morris, of Morris Hargreaves McIntyre, will share insights from the largest survey of temporary exhibitions ever undertaken. She’ll explore why people go to exhibitions and who the audience for them is. Gerri will also offer insights into how best to communicate with visitors, which channels resonate with them and how museums and galleries can effectively engage with and grow their audiences.

Workshop with Jasper Visser Part I

Independent consultant Jasper Visser has spent the last ten years exploring the importance of digital engagement, working with a range of clients that include various cultural institutions, authors and artists, to incorporate the digital world into their strategy. This year he’ll be hosting two workshops that explore his research and behavioural insights, using them to understand what digital audiences want, and the role digital engagement should play in exhibition planning.

Lecture & Book Signing Dany Louise: “Are You Talking to Me? Writing Gallery Texts and Wall Panels for Your Visitors”

Producing writing that informs, entertains and inspires your audience is essential for exhibitions of all types and sizes. But why is it so hard to do? What are the differences between adequate and excellent writing? In her talk, arts writer Dany Louise explores why many cultural organisations struggle to communicate in a clear, friendly way with their visitors, and reveals seven common mistakes to avoid. Delegates are welcome to submit examples of their own text panels for an instant review by Dany. But be warned, she is a professional critic! Delegates will all receive their own free copy of The Interpretation Matters Handbook, and can meet with Dany after her talk to get it signed.

4 Years of TEM – Conference Round Up

Come and join us as we round up this year’s meeting and see The Touring Exhibitions News brought to life in an informal programme that will bring the conference to a close. Drawing on our archive of interviews and profile stories with key production companies and individuals, we’ll be putting on a “performance” of some of the highlights, as well as offering an opportunity for delegates to share their own thoughts. Not just a chance for discussion amongst industry colleagues, we hope this will open a forum to share different opinions from around the world of touring exhibitions.
