APRIL 25, 2011

I've seen this line of questioning almost completely disappear in the past two years due to many research studies and reports on the value and rise of participation, but in 2006-7, social media and participatory culture was still seen as nascent (and possibly a passing fad). In 2008, the conversation started shifting to "how" and "what."

For years, I've been fascinated and a bit perplexed by the Elsewhere Collaborative , a thrift store turned artists' studio/living museum in Greensboro, North Carolina. Over the past seven years, this exploration has been undertaken by a staff of artists and more than 35 creators each year participating in our residency program.

A cheerful curly-haired deli owner stands in front of 30 of us and shares a quote he loves: "Artists live in the present and write detailed histories of the future." It was even more useful to learn how participatory writing visions can be. It's for anyone who wants to go somewhere in their day, their year, their life.

Why the Video Contest Worked Video contests are one of the most challenging kinds of participatory projects to pull off. I'm biased, because she's demonstrating a participatory project, but she was able to "show, not tell" her interest in engaging with people. In general, I liked videos made by artists, but some got overly poetic.

The best way I can really push my own participatory practice and thinking is to operate an institution and work with a community I care about over time. I also believe that small and mid-sized museums are the leaders when it comes to innovation, particularly around participatory engagement. I knew we were moving somewhere nice.

But the point is that the MAH, like just about every other museum in the known universe, was content to define the museum experience as something removed from the outside world, a rarefied church-like space of refined artistic reflection. Her blog, "Museum 2.0," is one of the leading forces working to remake the museum experience.

For example, in Santa Cruz there is a huge community of creative people who identify as artists in non-traditional media. That’s why we partner with fire sculptors, knitters, graffiti artists, and bonsai growers. They are artists whose experience deserves a home in our institution alongside painters, photographers, and sculptors.

Last month, I met an artist who was part of a group that created a renegade podcast tour for the Portland Art Museum. The participatory element employs an accessible speculative question. The participatory element is modeled well by the "official" content. I enjoyed listening to it (virtually, not at the museum).

I had a healthy second life as a slam poet, and I loved the world of artists and performance. I've always had confidence that I can make the life that I want, and I credit them for empowering me with that perspective. I also found that blogging was a great outlet for the side of me that missed my previous life as a poet.
