Museum 2.0

MARCH 21, 2012

Engagement with local artists. One of the things we love about exhibiting local artists is that they are often here to talk with visitors about their work. It's not unusual to see an artist showing a visitor how she constructed something or created an effect. We do have friendly gallery hosts, but not every hour of the day.

Last week I announced a new weekly feature that I'm trying out on Have Fun * Do Good, Ask Britt , where you send in questions related to career design for artists and activists, and I'll do my best to answer them. For example, we have a small store in Oakland called Issues that sells international newspapers and magazines.

Between the internet strategy teleseminar for the San Francisco Writing Conference I did on Monday, the blogging presentation I did for the Oakland branch of Ladies Who Launch on Tuesday, and the consults I had with individual bloggers on Wednesday and Thursday, I've been asked several times this week: "How do I increase my blog traffic?"

As Peter wrote: If someone enjoys Arts Event A because it’s social, informal, energetic, fun, and hip, why should we expect her to also enjoy Arts Event B if B is individual, formal, quiet, serious, and traditional (at least in its presentation, if not artistically)? Dias de las Muertos or Chinese New Year to attract new audiences.

The rules are clear: anyone who lives in Minnesota and considers her/himself an artist can contribute one piece. The only thing I really wish existed were more personal stories from the artists--I would have loved to see statements and photos of them alongside their works. Foot in the Door is a straightforward contributory project.

One Million Giraffes is pretty much what it sounds like--a project to collect artistic renderings of one million giraffes. I see this happening in the overflowing visitor comments on the walls of the Oakland Museum of California, the lines snaking through the Minneapolis Institute of Art to submit to Foot in the Door --so many places.

It's interesting, a man from Oakland is doing a documentary on street recyclers, the people who go around and pick up recycling from all of our bins, and that's how they make their living. AD: I originally found a couple of artists that were interested in turning it into a piece of art. And, "Why did you do it?"

And it has occurred to me that it almost seems like journalists need, from the way the things are right now, to re-imagine themselves as artists, and that they almost have to have a different mentality, "I'm an artist, I've got to find funding."
