The speech was first delivered in 1893 by the founder [the Gallery began in 1868] and director William Rossiter to the Gallery Council. Rossiter was fighting to retain the independence of the Gallery by keeping it out of Local Authority control, he was fearful of swapping one form of indebtedness, inherent in financial support - from private donation to public subsidy- for another . </p> <p> Rossiter lost the battle to keep the Gallery independent.</p> <p> 108 years later, and although the direction of the Gallery&#39;s movement is reversed - from public subsidy to a &#39;mixed&#39; economy - the forms of indebtedness remain the same; the struggle for independence is being uncannily replayed, in reverse. </p> <p> <strong><a href="/wiki/Reprise">Reprise</a></strong><br /> A souvenir pamphlet, with annotated text of the speech delivered by both directors<br /> ISBN 1 898 461 244<br /> Price 20p</p> <p> Published by the<a href="http://www.southlondongallery.org/docs/exh/exhibition.jsp?id=11" target="_blank"> South London Gallery</a> and millimeter.org</p> <p> <em>Available from the gallery</em></p> <p> <a href="http://www.chanceprojects.com/showProject.php?pid=39"></a></p> </div></div></div></div><div class="field field-type-nodereference field-field-related-films"><h3 class="field-label">Related Films</h3><div class="field-items"></div></div><div class="field field-type-nodereference field-field-related-projects"><h3 class="field-label">Related Projects</h3><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item"><a href="/node/101">Free Trade</a></div><div class="field-item"><a href="/node/106">Welcome</a></div><div class="field-item"><a href="/node/108">One Guinea</a></div><div class="field-item"><a href="/node/109">Rene Gimpel</a></div></div></div><div class="field field-type-nodereference field-field-related-books"><h3 class="field-label">Related Publications</h3><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item"><a href="/node/57">Free Trade</a></div></div></div> http://www.chanceprojects.com/node/107#comment director donation education exhibition gift independence lecture research speech talk Reprise archive Fri, 17 Nov 2006 14:10:23 +0000 admin 107 at http://www.chanceprojects.com
