Driving Impact through Art, Tech & Empowerment | Community Revitalization | Artist | AI, Web3, NFT & Blockchain
While the journey at TMA has only been 9 months. The journey to make create a more equitable world for artists began over 2 years ago in the midst of the coronavirus pandemic. I had just completed an installation I'd been working on for several years. The biggest challenge was waiting for nanomaterials research to progress to the point where I had materials which would do what I had envisioned. Years of research, practice, and work had led to that moment. But the pandemic dismantled my art career just as I was picking up steam and doing the kind of work I'd dreamed of doing. I began investigating the world of web3 and NFTs desperate for a way to continue creating and to continue earning income. It was there I found a way to solve the storage, distribution, and documentation problems I had been struggling with pre-pandemic. The inability to ship a work to China had cost me a massive sale a few years prior. Working digitally, I would never miss out on another big sale and I would never owe 30% or more of it to a gallery. Even though I was raised by the internet and am very much a digital-native. I had always assumed the only viable market for art was physical, so that's where my focus had always been. But with the advent of this technology, I was finally free to create work that resonated with me regardless of how traditionally monetizable it was. This was the personal revolution I experienced in 2021. Now I'm proud to be bringing that revolution to the broader art world in 2024. As we venture into uncharted territories of art and technology in 2024, I invite you to join and share your insights. Are you reshaping art with digital or Web3 tech? Let's connect and innovate together. Share your thoughts below or reach out – let's make art history!

I feel like we just did the impossible in 9 months at the Toledo Museum of Art. There is so much that I learned throughout getting us to launch on this month-long experience following a unique and transformative artist residency. https://lnkd.in/gGtiyEfT

Alaine Arnott, Ph.D. Arnott, Ph.D. I’m curious what you mean by “being ostracized, for not ‘conforming’ to another”, what exactly do you believe the museum has been pressured to conform to? What about these requirements are harmful or unhelpful? Ideally, diversity and inclusion should be viewed as progress, correct? So where is the disconnect in the policy that’s written? Do you feel speaking out on what’s happening to the Palestinian people would be “conforming” to what’s being asked of the museum? I for one would love to see the museum standing firmly in it’s advocacy for the rights of those who need their voices amplified. No matter the cost. I would’ve felt immensely more supported as an employee and a woman if the museum had shown any kind of support or solidarity when Roe v. Wade was overturned, knowing the staff is majority women. But the institution was completely silent. Maybe I need to do some research of my own on DEI requirements to understand why they seem to be so oppressive to the mission of National Liberty Museum? Is this a shortcoming of DEI requirements, or the shortcoming of a institution that ultimately wishes to be conservative? If that’s the case…. Just own it. But if your institution truly wants to fight for liberty, there should be no question of how to remain steadfast in that goal.
"We find ourselves having to navigate between funding dependencies, which may compel us to lean toward certain political stances, and the threat of being ostracized for not conforming to another," says Alaine A., CEO of the National Liberty Museum. She shares her experience with the current challenges facing museums, including DEI mandates and securing funding. https://bit.ly/4bu83gN

Founder, Thinking Museum | Reimagining guided experiences in museums | The Art Engager podcast | Slow Art + Slow Looking |
What is Slow Art Day? Slow Art Day is an annual event that encourages participants worldwide to look at and discuss art slowly. I’ve been taking part (and encouraging others to do so!) since 2012. Over 1,500 museums and galleries on every continent, including Antarctica’s McMurdo Station, have participated in Slow Art Day. This year it takes place on Saturday 13 April. The idea is simple: look at a few works of art for 5-10 minutes each. You can do this on your own, with a group of friends or as part of an event at a museum. You can also take part online in a guided or recorded session. You can choose which artworks to look at or let yourself be guided by what the museum or venue has chosen. Some venues pick five pieces of art, others may focus on just one or two, while others will give yet more options. To find a venue taking part, go to the Slow Art Day website (link in comments). Afterwards think about: What was it like to look slowly at a work of art? What did you notice? Are you going to take part in #SlowArtDay this year? Share this post to spread the word. #slowart #slowlooking #slowlookingatart #slowmovement #slowartday cc: phyl terry

https://lnkd.in/eKWj4_RA The average private museum has 1,600 artworks, according to a 2023 report by the University of Amsterdam. Titled “Beyond the Global Boom: Private Art Museums in the 21st Century,” the publication identifies 446 institutions specializing in modern and contemporary art founded by private individuals with limited or no public funding. About 80 percent of them were established this century, according to the report. Germany leads the global count, with 60 such institutions, followed by the U.S. (59), and South Korea (50). China established 30 such entities in just nine years, the study says.

Our highbrow + brilliant map = https://whitney.org/map
According to New York Magazine’s latest Approval Matrix, the Whitney Museum of American Art is brilliant. And I agree! This is great because it takes A LOT to break through and actually catch the attention of New Yorkers, so - very exciting. Check out our officially brilliant map of the NYC history of our landmark exhibition the Whitney Biennial at Whitney.org/map. Very proud of my role strategizing and leading the content creation for it - hope you like. After you explore, be part of that history and come see the 2024 Biennial ASAP! On till August 11.

Why These British Artists are setting up their own Museums. 💠What is a private museum? It is an institution “intended to house and display the founder’s art collection, and generally lacks the ‘full services’ of a publicly funded institution,” such as curatorial and research departments. 💠The concept of collectors establishing museums is centuries old. The British Museum, for instance, traces its roots to the collection of physicist Hans Sloane, which was then acquired for the nation in 1753. 💠 The concept of artists setting up their own museums, however, is a more recent trend that seems to have been started in 2015 by Damien Hirst. Its primary purpose is to “present exhibitions of work from Damien Hirst’s art collection”.Hirst has used the space to showcase his own and a few other artists' works with a survey of his works in 2020–21 and his latest series of physical and NFT works being shown in 2022. Link to Artsy Article below. 💠What do you think of this idea of private museums and the idea of self-curation by artists? Share your thoughts with us. 👇 #art #museum #artsy #innovation #artcurators

Co-founder, Objects & Order • helping people organize collection objects & create engaging digital features • exhibitions enthusiast
I’ve never understood why a museum would send site visitors to a third-party website to view its collection objects. And it’s even weirder when that third-party URL attempts to mimic the museum’s own site. Problem: If the museum makes updates to the real site, the doppelgänger will have design inconsistencies. Even bigger problem: Visitors may not realize they’ve been sent somewhere else. Or maybe they do notice, and get confused that they’re not where they thought they were. Museums that do this should make it crystal clear. When viewing a museum’s collections, how can you tell if you’ve been shipped off to a third-party site? Check the URL. What name appears before the domain extension? It’s always best to share your objects on your own site.

How important is the display for an exhibition or a Museum? Carlo Scarpa knew very well this aspect and there are several examples in Venice to study his incredible capacity to deal with the space and the works of art. Open Call for the Summer School 2024!!!! 6th June – 1st September 2024. Deadline to apply 1st March 2024. www.corsocuratori.com The Summer course in Curatorial Practice is an English-taught, intensive program on the history of contemporary visual arts and practices of exhibition-making, taking place during the Venice Biennale. Through interdisciplinary lectures, the course provides practical training and experience within museums and exhibition settings. Its international faculty includes curators and museum professionals, artists and critics. The course is designed to increase the students understanding of the intellectual and technical tasks of the curator figure related to the set up of exhibitions and projects. The lectures cover both theoretical and practical topics that go from History of Exhibition to Exhibition Management.
