Museum 2.0

JANUARY 16, 2013

This past weekend, in conjunction with our exhibition about Ze Frank's current participatory project, A Show , we hosted " Ze Frank Weekend "--a quickie summer camp of workshops, activities, presentations, and lots of hugging. Then again, Saturday was hardly normal at the Santa Cruz Museum of Art & History. It was pretty freaking amazing.

Beth's Blog: How Nonprofits Can Use Social Media

FEBRUARY 24, 2009

I've been thinking about how to best incorporate the back channel or in this case Twitter. Two recent blogs, " How To Present While People Are Twittering " and " Trends in Leadership Conferences " are the most recent blog posts packed with advice. It is being used less for remote participation and more for people in the room.

Granted, I live in an increasingly narrow world of people who are exploring these topics and want me to work with them, but I still learn a lot from the questions and struggles I hear from colleagues and people who comment on the blog. Why should institutions engage with people in this way? The Museum 2.0 Yes and no.

Blueprint is the story of a group of people who tried to create a Dutch Museum of National History (INNL). In 2008, when this group was assembled, they had political backing, financial support, and an energetic approach to their work. The early participatory projects are terrific. The media strategy is impressive.

This post was written by Jaime Kopke , the founder/director of the Denver Community Museum , a pop-up community-generated institution that ran from Oct 2008-April 2009. This post shares her reflections on the project, its design, and its impact. By far the most important elements though were the stories people shared.

If you care about how participatory art experiences can shape civic processes, read Bedoya's post. Adam and I first met in 2008, when we were part of a National Academies think tank-ish thing on the future of museums and libraries. The way we talk about our work helps shape its importance to current and potential audiences.
