Dimensions: May/June 2001. By Leonard J. Aube The California Science Center in Los Angeles (formerly the California Museum of Science and Industry) is an institution undergoing major reinvention and expansion. Our board-adopted master plan calls for the addition, replacement, or renovation of all existing facilities—a total of some 700,000 square feet—in three phases over approximately 20 years. The opening of our new building in 1998 marked the culmination of Phase I and represented more than 10 years of planning, construction, and public/private fund-raising.

Like many institutions involved in lengthy and intense capital campaigns, we focused in Phase I on achieving our capital goal ($130 million), but gave the operating fund considerably less attention. Consequently, the transition from planning to opening and running a new institution exposed both professional staff and volunteer leadership to unforeseen challenges.

Curatorial Method "Zines and Do-It-Yourself Democracy" at the Knight Library was curated by a group of undergraduate and graduate zinesters in partnership with Doug Blandy and Robert Voelker-Morris. The curatorial method was first implemented by Doug Blandy and Kristin G. Congdon in 1987 at a Bowling Green State University exhibit "Boats, Bait, and Fishing Paraphernalia: A Local Folk Aesthetic" and is based heavily in folklore field work methods (1988). This curatorial method facilitates non-hierarchical relationships among exhibition participants (object makers, object holders, exhibition facilitators, exhibition designers, etc.).

This model is based on pedagogical guidelines from Paulo Freire (1970, 1981) that focus on building non hierarchical and cooperative relationships among people, methods for critical inquiry, the importance of forging a common language, and a conception of culture that is dynamic. 1. 2. 3. 4.
