Exploring small area demand for grocery retailers in tourist areas
No full textNewing, A., Clarke, G.P. and Clarke, M. 2014. Exploring small area demand for grocery retailers in tourist areas. Tourism Economics, 20(2), pp.407-427This paper uses data from a major loyalty card scheme to draw insights about the characteristics of grocery expenditure by tourists. The authors explore the volume, value and composition of store based visitor expenditure using consumer data from the loyalty card scheme. They focus on grocery spending at selected stores in Cornwall, a popular tourist destination in South West England. Theloyalty card data provide a valuable source rarely available for academic investigations. The authors are able to analyse visitor spend by socio-economic and geodemographic characteristics, drawing a range of comparisons with residential demand from within the store catchment areas. They demonstrate that visitor grocery expenditure is complex and varies by store, destination and type of customer. The paper presents evidence to suggest that the current approaches used to estimate sales uplift and local-level economic impact from visitor demand are unable to account for the complexities of this form of expenditure. Based on these insights, the authors recommend that sophisticated modelling is employed to estimate the impact of visitor expenditure
One Day the Sadness will End (Performance)
No full textONE DAY THE SADNESS WILL END is an ongoing project by artist Declan Clarke and curator Sarah Perks that tracks the traces and movements of post-revolutionary space through their collection and publication of the names of people, groups and places they believe were betrayed by revolution. Their initial research on 66 individuals and events formed a picture of specific historical events that attempted, each with varying degrees of success, to disrupt or influence courses of history. These failures were due to both the revolutionary process and the reactionary counter-impulse.As part of the project TERRITORIES UNDER MY SKIN, Perks and Clarke presented the first performative version of ONE DAY THE SADNESS WILL END. In doing so, they will consider the phenomenon of post-revolution as a framework for questions of activism, social change and reconciliation

One Day the Sadness Will End
No full textUnofficial histories, suppressed memories and strategies of resistanceall converged in this major group exhibition, which sought to redressthe legacy of the Russian Revolution on its centenary by exploring howcontemporary artists are responding to the state of the ‘New East’today.Each day in the gallery Declan Clarke and Sarah Perks projected thename of a person, group, or place they believe was betrayed byrevolution. Their research of 66 persons or events built a picture ofspecific historical moments attempting to break the waves of history,with ultimately differing levels of success. These failures were often thefault of the revolutionary process as much as of reactionary countermomentum.Starting from Manchester and branching outwards from the present dayto historical figures and beyond, the collection of people and instancesexplores our understanding of revolution, our expectations of successand failure, and the precariousness of systems that claim to rule andcontrol. With great change comes the act of change itself: revolutionsinvariably turn on themselves
