Museum 2.0

I host dating games. In particular, we had a great group of 15 talking about participatory history experiences on Sunday. Participatory art and co-creation on the rise. We hosted a dinner party for diverse museum people, made pancakes, and reconnected at the end of long days. I found this idea really powerful.

We've been offering a host of participatory and interactive experiences at the Museum of Art & History this season. I loved Jasper Visser's list of 30 "do's" for designing participatory projects earlier this month. Artists work incredibly hard to produce their work. This isn't even participatory. It's just fun.

In reflecting on the sample, I’ve made some broad reflections on museum workers and visitors. Today, I wanted to think about participatory elements, something so essential to this blog. In this case, I find the most interesting ones to be made by artists. And, I have been known to give out an award or two.

The Yerba Buena Center for the Arts (which she directs) teamed up with the San Francisco Planning Department and the Knight Foundation to host the Market Street Prototyping Festival. Over three days, 52 artist teams erected experimental projects along San Francisco''s biggest thoroughfare.

It really reflects what we're trying to do here to transform our institution into as relevant, dynamic, and successful an organization as possible. In mid-July, the museum will host "Experience Clay," weekend workshops for those interested in clay sculpture. Let me know what you think and what this brings up for you.

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. When planning programs or events, we involve a combination of these groups to share and bridge audiences, bringing big, diverse crowds to new artists and ideas. Large and small (or no) followings.

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.
