That's how I felt when artist Ze Frank got in touch to talk about a potential museum exhibition to explore a physical site/substantiation for his current online video project, A Show (s ee minute 2:20, above). He is an authoritative artist of the social web with a slew of accolades and a suite of diverse projects under his belt.

They present masterpieces by white male artists and innovations by white male scientists. Other reference points for museums--as community centers, as place-based narrative vehicles, as social or performance spaces--are suspect and often branded as "unprofessional." Not as humans, or artists, or scientists, or dancers.

As I wrote back in September when first covering Giving Tuesday, Giving Days are not a new idea and have been successful in local communities and entire states, like GiveMN which raised many millions of dollars in 24 hours using the Razoo platform its first year. Jeff Achen is the interactive media strategist for GiveMN.

Unfortunately,” that subscriber advised, there are no legal avenues to stop visitors from photographing objects or images in the public domain in public spaces where photography is allowed. Without broad access, why should any community or institution go to the trouble and expense of preserving artifacts?

I've now been the Director of The Museum of Art & History in Santa Cruz for two months. Let me know what you think and what this brings up for you.

A large number of the collaborative projects of which I'm aware (in which staff partner with community members to co-develop exhibits or programs) are initiated with teens. Teens more commonly use the Web to stay in touch with their pre-existing social groups than to join new communities based on content affinities or interests.

The Siskind Center gives students and the public the opportunity to pore over the photography in the Museum's large collection of works on paper. The evening events attract mostly older community members instead of students. We artists and designers love our cheese-cube-and-wine-fueled Gallery Nights and those should stay.

A place that truly sees these initiatives as part of their mission to serve their local community. Tell me about the background for the Brooklyn Museum’s community web component. Everything here is mission-driven, and we have a mission that’s very much about the visitor experience and community. Is there such a place?

They write poems about their experiences, and when they recite them in community meetings, their neighbors are outraged, and mobilized immediately to action. For me, that meant photography, which I have done since I was eight, and traveling, which I love. People write poems, and stand and recite them in public meetings.
