Artists and arts organizations are contributing their spaces and their creative energies. Yet our posts contain similar phrases such as “21st century museums,” “changing museum paradigms,” “inclusiveness,” “co-curation,” “participatory” and “the museum as forum.” Therefore we believe that museums everywhere should get involved.

It was terrific to have a packed room and a long, open conversation (we split the session into half presenting, half audience discussion) about these issues. In particular, we had a great group of 15 talking about participatory history experiences on Sunday. Participatory art and co-creation on the rise. time to step it up.

She is a fabulous and thoughtful artist. The same day we opened the Creativity Lounge, we opened new exhibitions throughout the building, including a paper collage show in the 3rd floor lobby by local artist Lisa Hochstein. For me, the goal is for people to have an enjoyable, educational, cultural, social experience.

In some ways, a design lab can be thought of as “participatory research and testing.”. This was followed by a presentations and discussion with four thought leaders who shared their insights and knowledge around four different themes: New Power : Henry Timms, 92nd Street Y. Technology : Cheryl Contee, Fission Strategy.

Click is an exhibition process in three parts: The Museum solicited photographs from artists via an open call on their website, Facebook group, Flickr groups, and outreach to Brooklyn-based arts organizations. All evaluations are private; all artists are unnamed. They are sensitive to the artists who are being judged.

There are many amazing community representatives from business, arts, education, and social services who connect us to powerful ideas and partners. We had about thirty participants ranging from MAH trustees to artists, educators to architects, moms to grandfathers. It was an evening meeting with beer and chips.

When I created the hierarchy of social participation shown in this diagram, I debated what shape it should take. In Shulman’s article, she points out the folly of a rigid sequential theory when it comes to learning (and my case, I’ll expand that to social engagement). X-Men) and artists. Could it be cyclic? Back to my diagram.

Visitor Co-Created Museum Experiences This session was a dream for me, one that brought together instigators of three participatory exhibit projects: MN150 (Kate Roberts), Click! Some of the key lessons we discussed were: providing crystal-clear criteria and constraints to help participants focus their work.

What happens when a formal art museum invites a group of collaborative, participatory artists to be in residence for a year? Will the artists ruin the museum with their plant vacations and coatroom concerts? Will the bureaucracy of the institution drown the artists in red tape? No, this is not a reality TV show.

It’s not unusual for us to meet with an environmental activist, a balloon artist, a farmer, and the Mayor of Santa Cruz all in one day. Their enthusiasm and commitment charmed us and aligned with our social bridging goals. Each month we work with 50-100 individuals to co-produce our community programs. Follow up with them later.

Here’s what happened: an art critic named Jerry Saltz posted an incendiary note on Facebook about the very low representation of women artists on the 4th and 5th floors (painting and sculpture) of MoMA. We have been following your lively discussion with great interest, as this has also been a topic of ongoing dialogue at MoMA.

But the VSA has taken an intentional approach to these structured conversations with the goal of putting the (arguably) best part of conferences—the side conversations and hallway discussions—front and center. The groups can use three different approaches: physical, artistic, or traditional word presentation. Why are they doing this?

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. This promoted lots of social object behavior, including lots of pointing at art.

How did you end up with the five segments of the membership - social, learning, insider, family, and philanthropic? So we offer them an exclusive discussion with curatorial staff to gain insights on the curatorial process. In some cases, the artist is not comfortable, or there are insurance and liability issues.

I am recommending the transcript of Clay Shirky's speech about Gin, Television, and Social Surplus , in which he argues that the next twenty years will be marked by people's slow, incremental, and astoundingly impactful awakening from being passive consumers (of TV) to partly active content creators. The paper is the easy part.

I had a healthy second life as a slam poet, and I loved the world of artists and performance. I knew how to be assertive and social in small settings like my museum but not in larger groups. Thanks for reading, discussing, cheerleading, arguing, and being part of this exploration for four great years.

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. We had several community discussions about the competition disincentivizing collaboration--the money sent a contradictory signal to all our talk about sharing.

This exhibition is a big accomplishment for us because it incorporates multiple ways we push boundaries at the MAH: we co-designed it with 100+ community partners (C3) , including artists, foster youth, and youth advocates, with youth voices driving the project from big idea to install to programming.

"How often do we hear colleagues from museums and galleries stating as their fundamental reason for working co-creatively with audiences that they want to make a great piece of museum work, rather than primarily for reasons of social inclusion or democracy?" When an institution becomes wholly participatory, those distinctions often erode.
