Museum 2.0

MAY 9, 2012

Last week, I was in Minneapolis for the American Association of Museums annual meeting. 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. Participatory art and co-creation on the rise.

Is it a conversation? In almost all cases, museums assure me that they want to be in conversation, that they want to be responsive, that they want to “really hear” what people think. In one case, the institution jumped into the conversation and converted an ugly situation into a positive community outcome.

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. While there, I was lucky to get to experience a highly participatory exhibition that the MIA mounts once a decade: Foot in the Door.

I'm heading this weekend to the American Association of Museums conference in Minneapolis. Participatory history programming. Over the past year, we've found it fairly easy to invent and sustain participatory art and craft projects. I just care about having good conversations and learning from each other.
