'Mapping contemporary art in the heritage experience: Creation, Consumption and Exchange' is an interdisciplinary research project that will critically examine the role and practice of temporary visual art commissioning within heritage properties in Britain today, mapping the current landscape and exploring the impact of this activity on its producers and audiences. It approaches this subject from multiple perspectives, bringing together the knowledge and experience of scholars, artists, heritage professionals, volunteers and visitors. Art commissioning has always been linked with Britain's great historic properties. Recent decades have seen many heritage organisations vigorously re-engaging with contemporary art, investing in this as a way of developing new opportunities for public engagement with heritage properties and their histories. Arts organisations including Arts Council England (ACE) strategically support this work, promoting it as a significant means of fulfilling their mission to promote excellence and public benefit. For many artists commissioned work for heritage properties is an increasingly important strand within their practice.However, and despite strong support from major organisations including the National Trust and ACE, the actual impact of such projects on their producers and audiences is poorly understood. Similarly there is little collective professional understanding of the broader character of the contemporary arts in heritage field and its commissioning practices. As a creative practice-led collaboration with two major UK heritage partners this project makes a strong and unique contribution to the production of new knowledge around this significant but under researched area of the visual arts.Through case study research centring on the development of new art commissions at four heritage properties the project will explore in detail how contemporary artists engage with heritage narratives and how these artworks are received and consumed by visitors. The case studies will be accompanied by the production of a new online resource that develops, expands and digitises an existing audit of such projects making this publicly available as a platform for further professional exchange. In doing so the research will generate a better understanding of UK contemporary arts in heritage practice and its future development needs. To deliver the project, specialist scholars and artists from Newcastle and Leeds Universities will be joined by a professional curator from the leading art in heritage organisation Art & Heritage to work in partnership with ACE, The National Trust, Churches Conservation Trust and the Contemporary Visual Art Network. The new understandings and insights generated by the project will be disseminated across the contemporary arts and heritage sectors. This will be achieved through the use of complementary channels designed for different target audiences: the public exhibition of the commissioned artworks at the heritage properties; a website and blog that will document the project for an online audience; a project exhibition profiling the commissioning process for the benefit of an arts and practitioner audience; a research report for circulation to our project partners, strategic arts and heritage organisations and relevant policy makers; an international conference aimed at sector specialists and academic audiences; conference papers and published articles in academic and professional journals.As public facing research this project will have specific benefit for practitioners, organisations and heritage visitors as well as for other academics working in the contemporary arts and heritage field, including creative-practice led researchers. It has the capacity and potential to stimulate new public interest in contemporary arts in heritage practice in the UK and internationally as well as providing much needed new knowledge for the sector, including for its funders and policy makers.

“在遗产体验中绘制当代艺术：创作、消费和交换”是一个跨学科的研究项目，它将批判性地审视当今英国遗产中临时视觉艺术委托的作用和实践，绘制当前的景观，并探索这一活动对其生产者和观众的影响。它从多个角度探讨这一主题，汇集了学者、艺术家、遗产专家、志愿者和游客的知识和经验。艺术委托一直与英国伟大的历史遗产联系在一起。近几十年来，许多遗产组织积极地重新参与当代艺术，将其作为一种投资方式，为公众参与遗产及其历史创造新的机会。包括英国艺术委员会（ACE）在内的艺术组织战略性地支持这项工作，并将其作为履行其促进卓越和公共利益使命的重要手段。对于许多艺术家来说，委托文物遗产工作是他们实践中越来越重要的一部分。然而，尽管得到了包括国民信托和ACE在内的主要组织的大力支持，但人们对这些项目对生产者和观众的实际影响知之甚少。同样，对于当代艺术在遗产领域的更广泛特征及其委托实践，也很少有集体的专业理解。作为与两个主要的英国遗产合作伙伴的创造性实践主导的合作，该项目为围绕视觉艺术这一重要但尚未研究的领域产生新知识做出了强大而独特的贡献。通过案例研究，该项目将以四个遗产的新艺术委员会的发展为中心，详细探讨当代艺术家如何参与遗产叙事，以及这些艺术品如何被游客接受和消费。这些案例研究将伴随着一个新的在线资源的制作，该资源将对这些项目的现有审计进行开发、扩展和数字化，使其作为进一步专业交流的平台公开可用。在此过程中，研究将更好地了解英国当代艺术在遗产实践中的作用及其未来的发展需求。为了完成这个项目，来自纽卡斯尔和利兹大学的专家学者和艺术家将与来自遗产组织艺术与遗产的专业策展人一起，与ACE、国民信托、教堂保护信托和当代视觉艺术网络合作。该项目产生的新的理解和见解将在当代艺术和遗产部门传播。这将通过为不同目标受众设计的互补渠道来实现：在文物馆内公开展览委托艺术品；一个网站和博客，将记录项目的在线观众；为艺术及专业人士举办项目展览，介绍项目的运作过程；一份研究报告，供我们的项目合作伙伴、策略性艺术及文物机构及相关决策者传阅；一次面向部门专家和学术听众的国际会议；在学术和专业期刊上发表会议论文和文章。作为一项面向公众的研究，该项目将为实践者、组织和遗产游客以及在当代艺术和遗产领域工作的其他学者（包括创造性实践领导的研究人员）带来具体的好处。它有能力和潜力激发公众对英国和国际当代艺术遗产实践的新兴趣，并为该部门提供急需的新知识，包括其资助者和政策制定者。
