I'm also making the 2011-2012 budget, getting to know our terrific staff and volunteers, and starting up a few small participatory projects to launch us into being a more community-driven institution.

The recent series of events, from Ferguson to Cleveland and New York, have created a watershed moment. Artists and arts organizations are contributing their spaces and their creative energies.

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.

Dr. Shulman argues that taxonomies, which are often created to distinguish individual elements of a set, are often transformed into hardened ideologies with an implied value on the “higher” or “better” elements in the taxonomy. When I created the hierarchy of social participation shown in this diagram, I debated what shape it should take.

The groups can use three different approaches: physical, artistic, or traditional word presentation.

Now, the exhibit is closed and we're throwing open the doors on what was created. 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.

In it, Louise argues that museum professionals need to focus more on pursuing audience participation not to promote audience development or provide educational opportunities, but to create superlative visitor experiences.
