The principal aim of this project is to initiate a new International Contemporary Art in Heritage Network that will bring together UK and overseas academics, curators, artists, heritage and historic landscape organisations, and museum sites to exchange and explore international and transnational approaches to contemporary art in heritage practice. Our Network will extend the interdisciplinary study of contemporary art in heritage practice, initiating the first international mapping and global overview of this field. The project will be delivered in partnership with four (UK and international) heritage sector partners: Arts&Heritage; National Trust; International Coalition of Sites of Conscience; and the Artists' Studio Museum Network. Building on learning from the cultural sector's pivot to digital during the Covid-19 Pandemic, and to maximise opportunities for international input, all our planned programme activity will take place online.Since the 1990s contemporary artists have been commissioned to create temporary, site-specific responses to a wide range of heritage places across the UK - from grand palaces and country houses to historic designed landscapes, industrial waterways, and cathedrals. While the UK may arguably be regarded as a leading proponent of such practice, pilot international mapping research undertaken through our AHRC-funded 'Mapping Contemporary Art in the Heritage Experience' (MCAHE) project (2017-2020), indicated that contemporary art in heritage is more than just a UK phenomenon. Reflecting expanded global agendas within the wider museum and heritage sector, much of this work is concerned with articulations of difficult heritage, including a key focus on artistic engagement with colonial and postcolonial narratives. Despite this engagement with global concerns, and strong arguments made for diversifying the presentation of heritage, existing academic literature on contemporary art in heritage in the UK has primarily focused on the national scene, with little exploration of a broader transnational context. It is this gap in international knowledge that our Network specifically seeks to address.Key Outputs of this networking activity include:- A series of 5 online Meet Ups co-hosted with UK and international partners and involving an interdisciplinary community of academics, researchers, curators, artists, and heritage professionals.- A newly created, publicly accessible online Google Map of international contemporary art in heritage practice that captures and links to current and recent activity in this field.- 4 pilot virtual transnational commissions/artists residencies hosted by UK and international network partners (heritage sites, museums, and historic landscapes). - 3 new Podcasts featuring UK and international curators, heritage sites and commissioned artists in conversation, co-produced with Arts&Heritage and made freely available via its existing Apple Podcasts and Soundcloud channels.- A closing online international symposium open to all interested academics, artists, curators, and other professionals working in, or with an interest in, this field.This project will benefit a broad and international constituency of academics, practice-based researchers, curators, artists, museum, and heritage professionals. This will be achieved through multiple and complementary dissemination routes, including public presentation of the virtual commissions/residencies on the Arts&Heritage website and through presentations at future academic and sector-based conferences (UK and international).

该项目的主要目的是启动一个新的国际当代艺术遗产网络，将汇集英国和海外学者，策展人，艺术家，遗产和历史景观组织，博物馆遗址，交流和探索国际和跨国方法，以当代艺术遗产的实践。我们的网络将扩展当代艺术在遗产实践中的跨学科研究，启动这一领域的第一个国际测绘和全球概览。该项目将与四个（英国和国际）遗产部门合作伙伴合作交付：艺术国家信托基金;国际良心遗址联盟;和艺术家工作室博物馆网络。基于对2019冠状病毒病大流行期间文化部门转向数字化的学习，并最大限度地利用国际投入的机会，我们所有计划中的项目活动都将在网上进行。自20世纪90年代以来，当代艺术家一直受到委托，为英国各地的各种遗产地创造临时的，特定的回应-从宏伟的宫殿和乡村别墅到历史设计景观，工业水道和大教堂虽然英国可以说是这种做法的主要支持者，但通过我们AHRC资助的“遗产体验中的当代艺术映射”（MCAHE）项目（2017-2020）进行的试点国际映射研究表明，遗产中的当代艺术不仅仅是英国的现象。反映了更广泛的博物馆和遗产部门内扩大的全球议程，这项工作的大部分都与困难遗产的表达有关，包括对殖民和后殖民叙事的艺术参与的重点关注。尽管这种参与与全球关注，并提出了多样化的遗产呈现的强有力的论据，现有的学术文献对当代艺术遗产在英国主要集中在国家的场景，很少探索更广泛的跨国背景。我们的网络特别致力于解决国际知识的这一差距。该网络活动的主要成果包括：-与英国和国际合作伙伴共同举办的一系列5个在线见面会，涉及学者，研究人员，策展人，艺术家和遗产专业人士的跨学科社区。一个新创建的，公开访问的在线谷歌地图的国际当代艺术在遗产的做法，捕捉和链接到当前和最近的活动在这一领域。4个试点虚拟跨国委员会/艺术家驻地由英国和国际网络合作伙伴主办（遗产地，博物馆和历史景观）。- 3个新的播客，其中包括英国和国际策展人，遗产遗址和委托艺术家的对话，与Arts&Heritage共同制作，并通过其现有的Apple Podcast和Soundcloud频道免费提供。一个闭幕的在线国际研讨会，开放给所有感兴趣的学者，艺术家，策展人，和其他专业人士在工作，或有兴趣，在这个领域。这个项目将受益于广泛的和国际的学者，实践为基础的研究人员，策展人，艺术家，博物馆和遗产专业人士。这将通过多种互补的传播途径来实现，包括在艺术与遗产网站上公开介绍虚拟委员会/驻地，以及通过在未来的学术和部门会议（英国和国际）上的演讲。
