Any place with people working different schedules in different parts of the building suffers from it. People use it to share surprises in the archives, inspiring meetings with artists, dead birds in the lobby, and free food in the fridge. It''s also the one place we can get away from the constant dialogue with the community.

Over three days, 52 artist teams erected experimental projects along San Francisco''s biggest thoroughfare. They turned Market Street into a playground, a performance hall, and a meeting place. The Market Street Prototyping Festival stirred up a few thoughts related to design in public places, prototyping, and communicating complexity.

The best way I can really push my own participatory practice and thinking is to operate an institution and work with a community I care about over time. But in my conversations with staff, trustees, and the larger Santa Cruz community, I have become convinced that we are ready to overcome these challenges with some bold thinking and action.

One of the best projects that illustrates the basic idea of Web2.0 - listening and conversation and stakeholders creating their own experience with your organization - comes from the Brooklyn Museum of Art. All evaluations are private; all artists are unnamed. They are sensitive to the artists who are being judged. Artist Blogs.

Most of my work contracts involve a conversation that goes something like this: "We want to find ways to make our institution more participatory and lively." Most museums that offer interactive exhibits, media elements, or participatory activities offer them alongside traditional labels and interpretative tools. Fabulous!" "But

Over the past three years, we''ve tripled our attendance, doubled our budget, and, most importantly, established deep and diverse relationships with community members, artists, and organizations across Santa Cruz County. Participatory work can be very labor-intensive. Three years later, we''re out of turnaround and into growth mode.

It is multi-disciplinary, incorporates diverse voices from our community, and provides interactive and participatory opportunities for visitor involvement. The exhibition is far from perfect, but it's a big step towards reflecting the "thriving, central gathering place" of our strategic vision. The Love Lounge I LOVE.

He noted that many institutions I talk about that successfully foster personal relationships with visitors are small places. The sense of intimacy that comes with the relationships you can form in a small place is hard to match in a large one. It required a certain kind of place and feeling that visitors manage (mostly) on their own.

I had a healthy second life as a slam poet, and I loved the world of artists and performance. The Spy Museum was a dream place for me. While now the blog's a big part of my life, at the time, it just felt like an experiment--a place for me to develop my ideas in a public setting. The blog started with a conference experience.

A platform for museum staff to serve as facilitators of safe spaces for difficult conversations? A way to bring people on opposite sides of an issue to a fruitful, positive meeting place? Why on earth would someone set charged conversation in a place like a library, stereotyped as a space that abhors talking of any kind?

The good news is that there are hundreds of thousands of people debating the content of every book, scientific principle, and artistic movement on the Web right now. The bad news is that museums and libraries are rarely part of those conversations and in many cases are willfully preventing the inclusion of their assets in that discussion.

While there, I was lucky to get to experience a highly participatory exhibition that the MIA mounts once a decade: Foot in the Door. The rules are clear: anyone who lives in Minnesota and considers her/himself an artist can contribute one piece. Foot in the Door is a straightforward contributory project.

In some cases, the artist is not comfortable, or there are insurance and liability issues. This conversion is really important and it's just the beginning. It's true; this will extend the conversation in the lobby. How do you plan to change your communication strategy once these segments are in place?

We are now actively looking at ways to build on this success in all our exhibitions, although it’s a much bigger challenge in touring or artist-curated shows. I'm on vacation this week and will join the conversation when I return!

People who work with non-professionals on participatory projects often talk about finding "neutral" sites for meetings or meeting on their (the non-professionals') territory. Finally, as explained in #5, Second Life was the place where people could actually build their ideas, which became the key element in the development of an exhibit.

The artists come from all over (though many are based in the Midwest), and anyone can enter. Artprize invited me to talk about art with artists, families, security guards, friends, people old and young, sophisticated and novice, drunk and sober. Not all the art was good, but it all spurred conversation. Confusion and tension.

Random passers-by got hooked and spent twenty minutes carefully reading each post-it, writing responses, creating chains of conversation and spin-off questions and pieces of advice. But I know that the resultant conversation provided information to many subsequent visitors to the space. It's like following blog comments.
