Museum Next blog

MuseumNext

I've written about Jim Richardson before, but this week's blog posting from Museum Next has been, well, particularly inspired. Here's a few snippets....

"Should art be experienced in quiet contemplation or could a little theatre break through the polite chatter of a private view and make for a more participatory experience? Is a gallery only a space to experience the work on the walls or can it also be a stage for creative interaction?"

Jim also writes about a 'crowd sourced exhibition / competition' he is working on, while other contributors reference the work of Nina Simon on 'participatory design'...just reading of this ground breaking approach to exhibition design and conception is inspiring, wonder if that will be in my reading kit for uni? Somehow me thinks not.

Another great take away this week was the question we dare not ask..'Are museums and galleries intimidating?'

Didn't someone tell this man we never talk about the elephant in the corner...bravo Jim, keep it up!
