Six postgraduate students researched and curated Revolutionary Dreams (24 March – 9 September 2012). Their brief involved the selection, interpretation and redisplay of paintings from the Museum’s outstanding collection of ‘pre-Impressionist’ and nineteenth-century French Realist art. The project formed one of the Collaborative Study Units in the University’s taught Histories and Interpretation MA course, where students are given the opportunity to undertake both object based research as well as practical curatorial experience in a public collection. The participants’ work was closely supervised and mentored by university staff Prof. Elizabeth Prettejohn (Head of History of Art) and Ed Lilley (Senior Lecturer), as well as the Museum’s Assistant Curator of Historic Art, Dr. Anne Pritchard. For the Museum, there were three principal aims, which included encouraging the career development of potential future curators. It was also a chance to promote academic awareness and scholarship in a relatively under-researched area of the collection. Lastly, it was important to facilitate public access to the collection – both through the inclusion of works previously in store and the conservation work commissioned in preparation for the display. Practical experience is an increasingly vital component of a graduate’s CV when making the transition from higher education into a curatorial career. This is reflected by the large numbers of speculative applications for voluntary work received by the Museum from students each year. The popular Collaborative Study Units that form part of the University’s History of Art MA offer such experience within a formalised and structured framework, which a museum may struggle to achieve independently. With the additional £5000 funding from the AAH the two institutions were able to formulate an ambitious course programme which resulted in an innovative new display and extensive interpretation presented in a variety of formats. The nature of the AAH bursary scheme offered a number of unique advantages. The £5000 limit was appropriate to the scale of the project, and the spending criteria were incredibly flexible. Funding could be used equally towards research and travel costs as it could for costs related to producing and installing the display. Whereas many other research grants are only available at doctoral or post-doctoral level, the AAH award also allowed the involvement of Masters students at a key stage in their career development. The compulsory elements of the unit took place in the University’s first semester, between October 2011 and January 2012. Teaching was in the form of 12 weekly seminars held either at the University or at the Museum in Cardiff, combining art historical study and practical activity. Meetings with members of museum staff from the Learning, Design, New Media, Communications and Conservation departments also helped enhance the element of professional experience. The students worked as a team to select thirty-two paintings for display, from a list of around eighty. Together they constructed a narrative, title, and five sub-themes, and allocated works accordingly. They also gave thought to the practicalities of size, condition and whether works were included in the previous display. Of those shortlisted, around a third had not been displayed recently, and five were deliberately singled out for conservation. These included the cleaning and revarnishing of François Bonvin’s The Young Housewife and Augustin-Theodule Ribot’s The Admonition. Most significant, however, was François-Marius Granet’s The Choir of the Capuchin Church, Rome, painted for the Duchesse de Berry in 1817 and exhibited at the Paris Salon of 1819. The condition of its large ornate frame, probably constructed for the 6th Duke of Devonshire after he purchased the painting in 1836, had been deteriorating for some time and was preventing its display. Money from the bursary was used to employ an external specialist frame conservator to consolidate, re-touch and re-gild areas of the gesso decoration. Due to the size of the frame, the work was carried out in the gallery, roped off but in public view, which in itself aroused much visitor interest. The students divided the shortlisted works among themselves for the purposes of research, on which they based their 5000-word course essays as well as the interpretive text for the display. The AAH funding paid for all their travel costs, both to Cardiff as well as to the National Art Library and British Library in London. It also covered the costs of graphic design and printing for the gallery labels, theme panel and six-sided illustrated leaflet for visitors. Most of the students were new to the subject of nineteenth-century French art, some even to the field of art history. As a first-semester unit, therefore, the project was particularly demanding and ambitious. It was met with great enthusiasm, however, and they generally coped extremely well. They found the distinction between academic essays and writing interpretive text for a public audience to a strict word limit unexpectedly challenging, and needed further editorial guidance. Although their inexperience may have been a disadvantage during the initial stages of the unit, they were able to benefit from seeing the display installed and opened to the public in March 2012. Some chose to contribute to non-compulsory elements of the project. Three of the students, for example, submitted short articles to be published on Rhagor, the research pages of the Museum’s website ( http://www.museumwales.ac.uk/en/rhagor/revolutionary_dreams/ ). This allowed more freedom to explore their individual discoveries and personal interests. They have also given tours of the display. These, and the lunchtime lectures given by the University’s specialists Ed Lilley and Prof. Stephen Bann, have been extremely well attended. The initiative also received a positive response from other museum professionals when it was presented as a curatorial case study at the Subject Specialist Network: European Paintings pre-1900 study day – organised by the National Gallery and held at the Museum in April. The novelty of the project and the fresh perspective demonstrated by the display and related talks has attracted much interest from visitors and brought considerable attention to this area of the collection generally. The project has exceeded the expectations of all parties involved. Feedback from the students, while commenting on the challenging workload, has been highly enthusiastic. They especially appreciated the opportunities for work experience and requested more weight be given to these elements in their final grades. For the Museum, the project has enhanced aspects of collection care and research as well as generating public access and exposure. Thanks to the funding from the AAH, we have been able to establish the lasting benefits of this type of collaboration and hope that it has laid the path for other such initiatives to come.

These prestigious awards are aimed at early career individuals of the highest potential who have begun to establish a reputation for the highest quality research at the forefront of their discipline and who have a commitment to learning and teaching at university level. The University has been able to make this investment because of its highly successful research, teaching and commercialisation performance. The Fellowship may be held in any discipline or interdisciplinary area that fits within the strategic aims of the University and the hosting School (see ANNEX 1 for Priority Areas). It is essential that the successful candidate’s research furthers the high international reputation of the School and the University and that she or he has a strong commitment to postgraduate and undergraduate training. The Fellowship is held for 5 years, subject to satisfactory review at the end of year 3, and the Fellow will then move to a standard University academic open-ended contract. The first year of the Fellowship will focus on establishing the Fellow’s research programme, with a limited amount of teaching. Start-up research funds may be available appropriate to the discipline and the Fellow will be mentored towards gaining grant support. Fellows will be expected to submit an appropriate number of high quality research outputs to REF2014. Teaching and administration will gradually increase over the 5 year period to that of a normal academic load in the relevant discipline and substantial mentoring and development support will be available through and beyond their Fellowship provided by the Institute for Academic Development (http://www.ed.ac.uk/schools-departments/institute-academic-development). A sufficient amount of teaching and administration will be required in the first 3 years to allow a judgement to be made on continuation to a full academic position. Candidates already holding an externally-funded Fellowship are welcome to transfer this to Edinburgh if the sponsor permits. International candidates are welcome and will be supported through the process of visa application if required. Applicants wishing to work in interdisciplinary fields are particularly welcome and in such cases the hosting School will be identified by discussion with the School(s) and the candidate.

By studying across two departments and two countries students will receive a unique learning experience from two major European Art centres. Students will draw inspiration from Reading's close proximity to London, the hub of international contemporary art, and the vibrant art scene in Zurich. Both institutions attract students of the highest calibre through their expertise and extensive international research networks. The new PhD emerged through longstanding research collaborations between Reading's Professor Susanne Clausen, Head of the University's Department of Fine Art, and Zurich's Director of Postgraduate Programme in Curating Dorothee Richter. Professor Clausen, Head of the University of Reading's Fine Art said: "We are excited to have won a partnership with the renowned Curating Programme at the University of the Arts in Zurich. We are especially delighted to be working with Dorothee Richter, who is an internationally renowned curator and writer, as well as Director of one of the most exciting curating programmes in Europe." This innovative PhD module will provide a platform for cutting edge collaborations between curators and artists. It is also closely related to the internationally renowned web magazine ON CURATING www.on-curating.org and provides possibilities for participants to engage critically with its broad international network. Dorothee Richter said: "We have designed this PhD program as a shared platform of knowledge production where the specific contexts of the respective institutions will provide many exciting research opportunities. Participants will be encouraged to make use of resources such as the Curating Degree Zero Archive that was recently required by the University of the Arts in Zurich, which contains materials of about 100 curators, artist/ curators and curatorial groups.
