Catching Up

I’ve been MIA this past week so I’ve decided to play a little catch up, by highlighting some new initiatives going on in the museum world -

Call For Proposals - Indianapolis Museum of Art

The Indianapolis Museum of art has recently released a call for proposals and six week residency program for Indianapolis Island in their 100 Acre Outdoor exhibition space. This program will be incorporating a blog into the project and is a great opportunity for artists to use this new space.

How I Got Here

Museum 2.0 Blogger and author of the Participatory Museum Nina K Simon commemorates her 4 year blogging anniversary with a post on how she’s gotten to where she is and the impact her blog has had on her career.

1st Fans moves to Meetup.com

The Brooklyn Museum shocked the online community with the announcement of the movement of their online membership community from Twitter and Facebook to Meetup.com.

Guggenheim Museum’s -

The Guggenheim Museum  as part of their exhibition Play has started a blog Called the Take, that has recently posted about the use of the internet as platform for collaboration in art and access to material and the complications of copyright. On Access is in particular a great and intersting read, featuring the works of artists done with public domain material from the National Film Board of Canada.
