New endeavors have a need for a shared language
• For now, we’re just going to talk to the terminology but not get into it – Social art or socially engaged art – Par<cipatory vs. social engagement – Art vs. interac<ve – Plaform
…so we’ll all need to crah it 8

Except for this one: Plaforms
• Plaforms are systems that support mul<disciplinary and inter-‐departmental projects

Why Are Museums Ripe?
• “While there is no complete agreement as to what cons<tutes a meaningful interac<on or social engagement, what characterizes socially engaged art is its dependence on social intercourse as a factor of its existence.” – Pablo Helgura
…because we are fundamentally social en<<es

“One of the things that is great about working at Machine is we prototype all these ideas… it’s a challenge for museums because their very core purpose is to collect, preserve, and educate visitors about things that are precious and live forever.
Something that was interes<ng about being at the Hammer for a year was it allowed things to cycle in and out. And it took some of the pressure off each individual thing. If you can’t acknowledge that what you’re trying to do might fail and sGll value what you learn from the aHempt, then you have to succeed. “ -‐ Mark Allen, Machine Project, Hammer Report

The hand is both art and way-‐finding
• It was fun, it got people where they needed to go
• Mul<ple purposes and contexts in a museum is very confusing…. TO STAFF & SYSTEMS
• It was not a design solu<on

Who Curates the Experience?
• They build different types of discussions, capabili<es, push on a variety of departments
• It built rela<onships with different Affinity Groups in the region. It brought different audiences to the Museum.

Why Do We Need A Community?
• This is new work which means that: – It’s not tried and true = inven<ng – You’ll need to create that shared language for developing the work
• We’re building a prac<ce which is different from presen<ng people/artwork – It needs a web of rela<onships to succeed
• It’s different work when it’s at a different museum

Project Goals • Resist the notion that the museum is the primary author
of content and experience.
• Create a platform for many types of creative activity generated by both artists and non-artists.
• Position creativity as a collective and civic endeavor.
• Imagine a new kind of public gathering space for the city.
• Blend social, intellectual, and creative experiences and encounters.

In hindsight, the Open Field strategies of engagement looked like:
• Tools for empowering participation
• Rules for guiding participation
• Seeding or modeling participation
• Meeting to nurture the casual and social encounters

“Open Field reminded me of how removed I’ve become from play. Humor can get us through the workday, but for play, we need other people and the willingness to suspend all self-consciousness with them.”

“For me a small group talking about a topic unrelated to artistic practice is indeed the opening of a field. There are no bounds to the conversation and people can feel free to share and understand one another.”

“I don’t know how to measure the success of my project. I now realize it’s not about success or failure but rather the opportunity to design new experiences. This is a shift in how I think about my work and I have Open Field in part to thank for that revelation.” 67

Portland Art Museum: Shine A Light: Programming Goals (as written for 2010 & 2011)
Programming • Situate art (producing, interpreting, enjoying, puzzling over) as a living activity
that everyone has the potential to participate in • Encourage an atmosphere of participation between the museum, its visitors, and
artists. • Activate gallery spaces that suggest the museum is also a “site” of art production
and practice. • Situate the entire museum as place of multi-layered interpretations,
conversations, and unplanned directions, multiple interpretations in the galleries • Inspire inquiry into the connections between art and everyday life. • Have fun!
Audience • To make the museum feel relevant to young arts-interested audiences,
especially people between 18-45 years old.

Q+A
• Why do this? How do you sustain this work? • Ar<sts are ar<sts. • Where does the crea<ve spark for theses projects come from?
• Does it always have to be ar<sts or at art museums? • Is this work messy? How can it be good AND messy? • Why do we need allies? • What didn’t work? Where are the train wrecks? • What’s the big deal about DOCUMENTATION? Why is it so important?
