Laura Henderson Annely Juda Fine Art Laura Henderson is Associate Director of Annely Juda Fine Art in London where she has worked for ten years. Prior to that she worked briefly for Gallery Delta in Harare and the National Gallery in London. Annely Juda established her first gallery in 1960 and is known for showcasing works by the Russian avant-garde, Bauhaus and de Stijl schools, all of which were relatively unknown in Britain at the time. Today, artists represented include David Hockney, Anthony Caro, Christo, David Nash and Leon Kossoff as well as contemporary Japanese artists Yuko Shiraishi, Katsura Funakoshi, and Tadashi Kawamata. The gallery has a continual exhibition programme of its contemporary artists and of important historical artists from the 20th century avant-garde. It participates in six international art fairs every year. It aims to promote its artists in their entire commercial and many of their non-commercial projects. Working closely with the Gallery Director, David Juda, Laura is responsible for the exhibition and art fair programme, for selecting and hanging shows, for promoting the artists and for selling their work. Mark Segal Director of ArtSway Mark Segal is Director of ArtSway, the contemporary visual art gallery situated in a small rural village in the New Forest. ArtSway has developed a strong reputation for supporting the development of new work by artists (from all stages in their career) through the Production Residency Programme for presentation at ArtSway. In recent years ArtSway has developed partnerships for this programme with a range of national and regional partners including Autograph ABP, The Goethe Institute, London and the Arts Institute at Bournemouth. In 2008 ArtSway is collaborating with the Photographers Gallery, London in a new co-commission. ArtSway is currently developing and consolidating plans to work in a legacy approach with artists who have previously undertaken residencies. This project (ArtSway Associates) aims to exploit the knowledge and relationship developed through the residency/commission programme to offer these artists continuing professional support, advice and advocacy. Through its audience development programme, ArtSway Xtra, ArtSway aims to share this process with our audience. Unashamedly borrowing from commercial sector models as well as established Museum sector friends’ schemes, this approach is intended to deepen and extend our partnership with artists while also increasing our audiences appreciation and understanding of what it means to be a contemporary artist in 21st century Britain. The most explicit realisation of this approach to date has been New Forest Pavilion, ArtSway's multi artist presentation at the International Art Fair, La Biennale di Venezia in 2005 and 2007.
