GRIHU_LISA_PN003 · Corporate body · 1979 - σήμερα

Το Ίδρυμα Βασίλη & Ελίζας Γουλανδρή είναι ένας κοινωφελής μη κερδοσκοπικός οργανισμός που ιδρύθηκε το 1979. Σκοπός του είναι η λειτουργία των δύο μουσείων του στην Άνδρο και στην Αθήνα, καθώς και η προαγωγή των εικαστικών τεχνών σε εθνικό και διεθνές επίπεδο. Η Συλλογή του Ιδρύματος Βασίλη & Ελίζας Γουλανδρή είναι από τις σημαντικότερες ιδιωτικές συλλογές που δημιουργήθηκαν κατά το δεύτερο μισό του 20ού αιώνα. Πρωταρχικός σκοπός του Ιδρύματος Βασίλη & Ελίζας Γουλανδρή, στην Αθήνα, είναι να στεγάσει αυτή τη συλλογή και να την κάνει προσβάσιμη στο κοινό, σύμφωνα με την επιθυμία των Ιδρυτών. Όπως ισχύει για κάθε συλλογή, έτσι και με τη συγκεκριμένη, τα κριτήρια επιλογής των έργων που τη συγκροτούν υπήρξαν καθαρώς υποκειμενικά. Ο Βασίλης και η Ελίζα Γουλανδρή, αν και περιβάλλονταν ήδη από τις αρχές της δεκαετίας του 1950 από διακεκριμένους ιστορικούς και επαγγελματίες της τέχνης, επέλεξαν τα συγκεκριμένα έργα με μοναδικό γνώμονα τις προσωπικές προτιμήσεις τους και τους δικούς τους αισθητικούς κώδικες. Επιθυμία τους ήταν η δημιουργία ενός μουσείου στην Αθήνα, προκειμένου να δώσουν την ευκαιρία στο ευρύ κοινό να έρθει σε επαφή και να εξοικειωθεί με την τέχνη που οι ίδιοι αγάπησαν. Οραματίστηκαν έναν ζωντανό πολιτιστικό φορέα, ενταγμένο στην τροχιά των διεθνών δρώμενων στον χώρο των εικαστικών τεχνών.

Workscene Gallery
AGOAC00342 · Corporate body · 1974-1995

Workscene Gallery was a non-profit, artist-run co-operative gallery in Toronto, 1974-1995. It originally provided studio space and a venue for exhibitions of members’ works, later expanding to exhibiting other artists’ works and curated exhibitions. Members were responsible for all programming and administration with individual artists responsible for content, installation and promotion of exhibitions. Members were required to have a strong art practice, to provide financial support through membership fees and be committed to promoting the arts community.
The co-operative was incorporated May 16, 1974 as Workscene Co-operative Corporation with the following directors: Gissa Geraldine Gold, Ian James Shaw, James Henry Tiley, Robert John Varty and Badanna Bernice Zack. In May 1988, the corporation was re-activated by the current group of artist members who began operating the Workscene Galley at 1020 Queen Street West as an exhibition space. This storefront gallery was formerly the Ruby-Fiorino Gallery and the co-operative remained in this space until the lease expired at the end of August 1990. In September 1990, Workscene Gallery relocated to 183 Bathurst Street, a building which was a focal point at that time for Toronto’s arts community and housed other artist-run centres, arts organizations and magazines. Workscene Co-operative Corporation also produced a magazine as an independent program, Work Seen Artists Forum, to provide a forum for artists to write about their work and issues of concern. In the summer of 1992 the magazine became a separate entity with no ties to the Workscene Gallery, changing its name to Artword Artists Forum.
Workscene Co-operative Corporation was dissolved in February 1992. Workscene Gallery Art Association Toronto Inc. was formed in June 1992 with the following directors: Jocelyne Regina Belcourt Salem (President), Yvonne Maria Eva Singer (1st Vice President), Ian David Lazarus (2nd Vice President), David John Renaud (Treasurer), and Sheila Ann Gregory (Secretary).
