Museum 2.0

MAY 9, 2012

This was a topic I was never interested in before I became a director. The conference showcased many fabulous projects-- Flux Foundation , Open Field , Shine a Light , Create Denver --that support substantive co-creation experiences for artists and amateurs alike. Here are our slides and Ellen's handouts if you want to learn more.

In that spirit, I offer a few things that have excited me in recent weeks: The MCA Denver Holiday Video is out, and it is very, very good. Way better than that video at Museum X where the director drones on about the new initiatives of the year. I know I have a lot to learn from the content AND the format of this report.

I think we have all come to realize that just adding a minority seat to your board of directors, or consciously making an attempt to fill that open position with someone from a different cultural background, simply isn’t enough. Encourage the board of directors to articulate an inclusivity statement for your organization.

Now as the Director of Finance at the school, my office is housed in the development department, where all the inner workings of ICCP take place. In coming to those decisions, I used the What, So What, Now What reflective approach made famous by John Driscoll. Join me in Denver at #bbcon2023 I’m presenting at bbcon in October!

Our conversation made me reflect on the museums that most inspire me from a public service perspective--institutions with missions that stretch far beyond their walls. Does this sound like director-ish bloviating to you, or is it useful? How do you see institutions living up to--or falling short of--these kinds of goals?

Roberto Bedoya : The "Yes And" Argument and its Civic Implications Bedoya, the Executive Director of the Tucson Pima Arts Council, makes a beautiful statement that arts administrators need to facilitate a multiplicity of leading voices, or as he puts it, "the courage of imagination and the plural." Here are three of my favorites.

I'm on the road this week, with speaking gigs in Oslo, Denver, Charlotte, and Roanoke (join the NAMP livestream on Sunday at 9:25am PT here ). We also wanted to: Inspire visitors to engage in active looking: notice, reflect, react, and respond to the works of art and to the interdisciplinary quality of the exhibition.

In fact, I find that participatory products are often more likely to reflect a formal sensibility than their traditional counterparts. The Exploratorium and MCA Denver are both masters of pairing fairly standard museum frameworks for audience engagement with an energized, funky sensibility.
