Museum 2.0

MAY 9, 2012

Last week, I was in Minneapolis for the American Association of Museums annual meeting. As always, the conference was a party mix of inspiring and dull, familiar and new. A couple of weeks ago, I posted on this blog that I was interested in meeting some new people at the conference. Participatory art and co-creation on the rise.

I've been enjoying a few blissful weeks at home but am now hitting the road for a series of conferences and work trips, and I wanted to let you know where I'll be if you want to meet up or come to an event. Many of the talks are related to The Participatory Museum and I will have books for sale on all of these forays. May 17 - NYC.

It’s not often I wake up and think: I wish I could go to another conference this summer. But the Visitor Studies Association is taking some chances next month with their annual conference , and it’s got me experiencing a new emotion around convention halls: excitement. In Houston. Why are they doing this?

The Art of Relevance will launch live and in-person on July 12 at the Arts Marketing Association conference in Edinburgh, and you'll be able to order it online soon. My last book, The Participatory Museum , did well. This month, I'll start sharing a few of the chapters as blog post sneak peeks. and then do a little bit more.

We're seeking great folks for public programs, participatory exhibit design, online marketing, 3D design, and whatever else you might have to offer. I had a bit of a wakeup call about internships last month at an "emerging leaders" lunch event at the Mid-Atlantic Association of Museums conference.

I just returned from the American Association of Museums (AAM) annual meeting in Philadelphia. This post recaps these sessions and offers my own struggles and thrills of the conference. So far, most participatory museum design projects are heavily guided by the institution.

Anna had been the founding Curator of Education at the National Building Museum, led the Rolling Rainforest project, and was a real innovator in developing in-depth participatory design experiences with community members (though I wouldn't have used those words at the time). The blog started with a conference experience.

I just returned from the annual ASTC (Association of Science and Technology Centers) conference, where there were LOTS of good conversations and controversy. No museum is as flexible or participatory as the Web has become. But the aspect that most excited me were the discussions about active participation in museums.

MuseumNext had four main sections: Interactive activities , including an opening workshop with a group of designers associated with an extremely wonderful exhibition called Doing it for the Kids featuring sustainable toy designs. Thank you to everyone who came and helped co-create an exciting experimental event in a beautiful city.

I'm gearing up for some conference talks next month, and one of these is part of a very cool session, Eye on Design, at the Western Museums Association conference. One argument might be that dogs are owned and therefore uniquely associated with their owners. I've been thinking about what, of all this 2.0

These are the slides and notes for the talk I gave at the American Alliance of Museums conference on Monday, April 27 about the Santa Cruz Museum of Art & History. For years, I’ve been associated with the idea of “visitor participation.” There are links embedded to other posts that go deeper into specific topics.

Philea (Philanthropy Europe Association) is the offspring of the recent merger between the European Foundation Center (EFC) and the Donors and Foundations Network in Europe (DAFNE). Evidence driven hope was a recurring notion throughout the conference. New funding models: spotlight on participatory grantmaking. Moving forward.
