Museum 2.0

MARCH 28, 2012

We had about thirty participants ranging from MAH trustees to artists, educators to architects, moms to grandfathers. Here are the slides so you can see what we shared. There's useful energy that arises when you put a teacher, a techie, a mom, and an artist in a group and ask them to work together.

The above slide show was created based on all the information I gathered from my network below. 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. Artist Blogs.

You can download all the slides here. When we work with diverse collaborators, from opera singers and ukelele players to knitters and graffiti artists, we catalyze new partnerships and relationships that make our community stronger and more cohesive. You want to have an artist collective sleepover at the museum? Be rigorous.

What happens when a formal art museum invites a group of collaborative, participatory artists to be in residence for a year? Will the artists ruin the museum with their plant vacations and coatroom concerts? Will the bureaucracy of the institution drown the artists in red tape? No, this is not a reality TV show.

These are the notes and slides for a keynote speech I'm giving this Saturday at MuseumNext in Indianapolis. As one visitor recently commented, "the MAH has become 'our' museum, a reflection of us and a place where we can appreciate art, share it with each other, learn and make new connections." Doubled our budget. Doubled our staff.

In my reflection post about the panel, I was musing about one of the points raised: ”How Can We Visualize Data If We Can’t Draw?” The major problem or block to using visualization is that many people think drawing is just for artists and if you can’t draw well, than you shouldn’t bother to do it.

You can view (and download ) the slides and audio here, which feature our provocations and the discussion that followed. Our desire to "protect kids"--which reflects twenty years of clamping down (at least in the U.S.) in which we explored the peculiarities of self-censorship in the creation of museum exhibitions. but it gets better.

I asked Shelley if she received any negative feedback from the artists about their work being treated like data rather than art. On Value to the Field: Jeff and James discuss how this reflects something “very different than the kind of collective problem solving or endeavors that you see on the web.”
