Museum 2.0

MAY 9, 2012

Last week, I was in Minneapolis for the American Association of Museums annual meeting. Our curator writes labels about licking the art. It was terrific to have a packed room and a long, open conversation (we split the session into half presenting, half audience discussion) about these issues. I host dating games.

Museums should make people feel welcomed and comfortable, be gracious and generous, design for a diversity of interests and needs, create situations that increase the likelihood of having a good conversation, and allow the time and space to let people reflect and imagine. comfort opens the door to other positive experiences.

We explored opening a training center. We selected a First Wave that reflects diversity of geography, size, and sector, so we can see who this works best for and why. The First Wave includes 6 museums, 5 performing arts organizations, 3 public libraries, 3 parks, and 3 community centers. Publishing toolkits. Consulting.

Here’s what happened: an art critic named Jerry Saltz posted an incendiary note on Facebook about the very low representation of women artists on the 4th and 5th floors (painting and sculpture) of MoMA. Dave runs a yearly software conference called Flashbelt in Minneapolis. Sadly, it was the second story that was about a museum.

I spent last week working with staff at the Minneapolis Institute of Art (MIA) on ways to make this encyclopedic art museum more open to visitor participation across programs, exhibitions, and events. By limiting artworks by size alone, Foot in the Door is open to a huge range of content and media.
