MIAM | Musée Imaginaire des Arts et de la Métaphore
Anéanti par les Khmers rouges, le Ballet royal du Cambodge, porteur d’une culture millénaire, est ressuscité grâce à la foi de quelques survivantes du génocide et danse aujourd’hui sous la direction de la sœur du roi, la princesse Bopha Devi.
CULTURE
Thinking about exhibits | thoughts on museums, content, design, and why they matter
Identifying the kinds of leaders who will push the museum sector into new kinds of technologically mediated experiences is not a technology problem, it’s a cultural problem – a wicked problem – that can’t be planned away, or addressed by a white paper. The way to address it is to make new kinds of museum experiences, with new people at the table, along with current practitioners and museum leaders.
The Uncataloged Museum
Several weeks ago I was in Indianapolis and had a chance to visit both the Indiana Historical Society and the Indiana State Museum and was struck by the differences in the way they presented history, differences that reflect both the DNA of the organizations (one primarily an archives and one an encyclopedic collection) and a distinct approach to involving visitors. The Indiana Historical Society is, unlike many historical societies, solely an archives, a repository of millions of photographs and archival materials. But it's housed in a big, grand space that has now become a place to experience, on a changing basis, bite-size bits of Indiana's past.

Amazing to see how people are taking Google’s image capturing technology and adapting it for their own art.

Museums Now
I may be unable to post much the next few weeks as I'm on planes and trains, buried in research materials, visiting friends and family that I too rarely get to see these days, and sprinting to the finish line on a few projects. But I want to take the opportunity to thank Doug Mclennan for the opportunity to launch Jumper on ArtsJournal.com (a gift for which I will be forever grateful) and to thank everyone that has taken the time these past twelve months to read posts, post comments, send emails, Tweet, ReTweet, republish, or otherwise … [Read more...]

Museum Audience Insight
In our last two posts, we shared a research query we had received about the value of changing exhibitions to a museum, and how we went about plumbing the depths of our databases to see what we could find, and then examined how different audience segments, as well as how those who specifically said “their” museum had “good exhibits,” responded. Although we didn’t ask specifically about changing exhibitions in any of the surveys we are examining, some people told us their preference anyway by writing in a comment about it.
Yup, you may think the Brooklyn Museum is in such dire straights that it's not buying art -- but think again.
Real Clear Arts
If a museum owns two major works from the same period by the same artist, can one of them---by far, the more celebrated of the two---be deemed redundant and expendable? That seems to be the thinking behind the Akron Art Museum's announcement , through Christie's, that on May 8 it will auction off Cindy Sherman 's "Untitled #96" from her landmark "Centerfolds" series---the famous image of a girl (Sherman herself) in an orange sweater, lost in reverie.

I get lots of queries, both from my own undergraduates and from students shopping around for graduate programs in museum studies and public history, about which programs are currently the strongest.

Suite à un incident technique, il n’y a, en effet, plus qu’un seul ascenseur qui est actuellement opérationnel sur les 3 qui l’équipent au total.N ous redoutions l'exposition Fichés aux Archives Nationales , car ce sujet magnifique était évidemment une occasion unique de relier les archives aux problématiques contemporaines. Or, nous avions entendu que le projet se limiterait aux années 60 pour des questions de droit, parce que le secret sur les archives n'était pas levé.
