What started as a series of experiments and happy accidents is now embedded in how we develop and evaluate projects. I don''t have the answer to how we can incorporate bridging across the various ways we work with intact and blended communities. This leads to good bonding, but very little bridging.

If you care about how participatory art experiences can shape civic processes, read Bedoya's post. He said museums were too spineless to project their own voices and so were misguidedly searching for direction from audiences. Adam and I wrote papers that split dramatically on either side the lead/follow line.

At the adjacent table, my colleague Stacey Garcia was meeting with a local artist, Kyle Lane-McKinley, to talk about an upcoming project. For a long time, I knew I cared deeply about designing from "me to we" --inviting visitors to form social connections through participatory experiences--but I couldn't express a clear reason why.

Building the Abbott Square project taught me a whole new mindset: that of the real estate developer. OUTSIDE IN Before the Abbott Square project, I approached planning from an internally-driven perspective.

The USHMM pledge wall is notable for its blending of digital and analog technologies. The paper "remembers" the location of pen marks on the pledge section, so visitors' handwritten promises are quickly and magically projected on a digital projection wall in front of the pledge kiosks.

While this post is not about museums, it tells the story of how a performance group developed participatory elements as an integral part of their show. We see the stage as a safe place for taking some participatory risks—we handpick volunteers who come up to dance and compete, and their terror, fame, and hijinks only last a few minutes.

Nina's research keeps finding that the right kind of constraints work to produce a better participatory museum experience. There's a nice overlap to be found here blending the traits of Oldenburg’s third place with the mission of the institution. It was a collaborative library/design/art/community-building project.

Our museum in Santa Cruz has been slammed by those who believe participatory experiences have gone too far. We always knew that the inclusion of participatory and community-centered practices in arts institutions was controversial. To me, the backlash against participatory and community-centered experiences is not surprising.

His project, Is It Necessary? blends sculpture, repetition, and ritual performance in a political statement about the genocide of animals in factory farms. Do I worry that a visitor might see what''s happening in Rocky Lewycky''s project at my museum and be confused about our museum''s approach to protecting artwork? Definitely.
