I'm a huge fan of work and the way she thinks - especially after she road the Scare House ride on the Santa Cruz boardwalk with me and did a brilliant reflection on its design. Nina has written a fantastic book engagement called The Participatory Museum. I've purchase a two copies, one for me and one to give away.

I''ve seen this line of questioning almost completely disappear in the past two years due to many research studies and reports on the value and rise of participation, but in 2006-7, social media and participatory culture was still seen as nascent (and possibly a passing fad). Yes and no.

She says that the museum made changes in hiring and board recruitment practices, and invited the community in to help reshape the facility into a place that reflected and represented its people and their interests. I'm also always interested in how the national media portrays changes in the cultural sector. The impact was dramatic.

In some ways, a design lab can be thought of as “participatory research and testing.”. It is a useful technique for creating a more responsive, flexible organizational culture as well as coming up with more innovative ideas for programs and grants that are a good fit.

Cultural Connections is a group of museum professionals who meet up a few times a year and host excellent programs on a variety of topics. I was captivated by Chris Alexander 's story about participatory online/onsite efforts at the San Jose Museum of Art (SJMA).

Particularly in an age of cultural and political division, Bedoya argues that leaders in the arts need to responsibly and boldly intermediate among many voices, using a combination of ethics and aesthetics to make policy and artistic decisions. If you care about how participatory art experiences can shape civic processes, read Bedoya's post.

How would you decide what to include, what tone to take, and how to present the material? The early participatory projects are terrific. Hooks based on popular culture. This perspective may reflect overly wishful thinking; I realize it does not align with the museum plan as presented. Where would you start?

It made me think in ways that I haven't before about the relation of art--as expressive culture--to democracy. It is multi-disciplinary, incorporates diverse voices from our community, and provides interactive and participatory opportunities for visitor involvement.

All artworks delivered to the museum during the submission period will be accepted and presented; no one is turned away. Foot in the Door is a straightforward contributory project.

Recently, I've been doing a lot of workshops with cultural professionals around the question of developing authentic relationships between institutions and visitors. So often, organizations present people--staff, donors, board members--in the most formal ways possible, via long lists of printed names or stilted photographs.

So every time I present or teach, I like to be really clear about what we will be talking about, what the outcomes for the session are. So every time I teach or present, I like to do group agreements. But the more you can put your work aside and be here, the more you will get out of the presentation. . And lastly, energy. .

As Doug McLennan wrote in Arts Journal , Kim’s message was condescending, impersonal, did not respond to the specific issue at hand, and did not reflect an honest interest in engagement. MoMA is present on many social networks , including Facebook and Twitter, and clearly “heard” from people about this issue. But don't despair.

What happens when a formal art museum invites a group of collaborative, participatory artists to be in residence for a year? Several artists offer surprising insights into making participatory projects appealing to visitors. Frequently, we get stuck on developing participatory projects or events that serve as many people as possible.

I was struck recently by the description of players in an alternate reality game, SF0 , in which people go on cultural “missions” around the Bay Area. This text elegantly presents the distinction between a person (who can be uncomfortable) and a role/player (who is in the zone, like the carrot man above, an SF0 player).
