This qualitative research analyses visitor management issues of a trendy visitor attraction in East London, the Whitechapel Gallery. The "model of factors involved in the effective management of ...visitor attractions" proposed by Leask (
2010
) is applied in this given context. Results outline the urgency of an updated set of visitor management plans, both short term and long term. This also suggests a proper ground for applying the above-mentioned model. Programme and display diversities cannot be considered as the only inevitable actions; development of specific visitor management tools, multiple stakeholders' coordination with their clear engagement in policy planning, and identification of competitive advantage also need priorities in an effective visitor management plan.
The history of Australian art has been punctuated with survey exhibitions in London from the late 19th century to the present, just as our artists were drawn to Europe both to study and for the ...possibilities of wider recognition. This review article focuses on the post-war years from 1950 to 1965, a high point of Australian cultural expatriatism focused on London – now viewed as a significant episode in the history of Australian art. The two most influential figures supporting key Australian artists were Kenneth Clark (promoting the work of Sidney Nolan and Russell Drysdale) and Bryan Robertson, director of the avant-gardist Whitechapel Gallery. Robertson was responsible for organizing the most significant of these exhibitions of Australian art: Australian Painting Today in 1961, focusing on the work of a younger generation of artists that included Charles Blackman, John Olsen, Fred Williams and Brett Whiteley. Australian’s most significant art historian, Bernard Smith, who had also sought to bring about comparable exhibitions, but without success, challenged the orientation and the cultural framing by Robertson and the young Australian art critic Robert Hughes in the catalogue of this key exhibition.
