For better social experience, Fotografiska is merging with private arts club NeueHouse

2021-03-19

The Stockholm-based photography museum Fotografiska announced that it has merged with NeueHouse, the co-working and social membership space headquartered in New York.Moving forward, the two organizations will co-exist under a new parent company, CultureWorks, which brands itself as the “preeminent global growth platform for culture, experience, and hospitality brands,” according to a press release.For traditional non-profit institutions, this is quite an atypical move to make, and for Fotografiska, a for-profit museum, this move is likely read as a rebuke of traditional museology in favor of a trendy experience economy model that emphasizes its restaurant, entertainment and architectural offerings as much as its art.But chairman of Fotografiska Yoram Roth, who is also a majority investor in CultureWorks, believes that the merging is a commitment to the way many young people want to experience art in 2021, even if that means the museum starts to look less and less like the Met and more like a social club."I think there is a very staid and tenured way of looking at what the mission of a museum is and the way that it fulfills that mission, and everything else that is different from that is looked at as a threat or as not serious," Roth says. "We are not the competition. The competition is TikTok and the Xbox and Netflix. We need to get people off the couch."After the merger, crossover programming between the duo will become a regular occurrence, and branches of each are expected to pop up in the same cities.Source | artnet NewsAuthor | Taylor Dafoe

At Stanford, a new initiative will study and exhibit more Asian American art

2021-03-11

The Cantor Arts Center at Stanford University established the Asian American Art Initiative (AAAI) in January, a significant effort to acquire, preserve, display and research art related to Asian American and Asian diaspora artists and their practices.The initiative is anchored by the museum’s acquisition of 233 ceramic masks made by Ruth Asawa of the faces of her family, friends and fellow artists, and 141 artworks from The Michael Donald Brown Collection, a privately assembled group of pieces created between 1880 and 1996 by Asian American artists. Over the past months, the Cantor also obtained works by Michael Jang, Bernice Bing, Ian Cheng, etc.Ruth Asawa with life masks on the exterior wall of her house. (Photo: Terry Schmitt.)"With the exception of a few major figures, Asian Americans remain in the shadows of American art," said Marci Kown, assistant professor in the Stanford Department of Art and Art History in the School of the Humanities and Sciences, and founding co-director of the AAAI. These acquisitions not only fundamentally change the Cantor’s collection of American art, transforming it into one of the leading collections of Asian American art in the US, but are also poised to help change the history of American art as it has been written thus far.Among the first of its kind, AAAI will be shaped into a hub of study through collecting and exhibiting work by Asian American artists, forging new interdisciplinary research connections and collaborating with Stanford’s academic departments such as Department of Art and Art History and Center for East Asian Studies, while supporting undergraduate and graduate research in the field. It is also expected to engage community members across the Bay Area as the initiative takes further shape. A related conference and exhibition are planned for fall 2022 to rethink and reimagine the historical and theoretical dimensions of Asian American art and aesthetics."The Asian American Art Initiative arrives at a moment in which white supremacy, xenophobia and discrimination against immigrants are once again on the rise,” Kwon said. “These forces are not new, nor are their effects limited to Asian Americans. The study of Asian American artists sheds light on the entwined histories of racism, settler colonialism and capitalism, which have affected all ethnic groups in this country. Their work helps us see the myriad ways people of color have lived, struggled and survived.”Source | Stanford NewsAuthor | Beth Giudicessi

‘Virtual Museum Tours’ among Google’s 2020 most popular search terms

2021-01-28

Google's Year in Search list, released last December, offers a glimpse into what the cultural hive mind was up to in 2020 in the US. Given the stay-at-home orders that dominated last year, searches for things that begin with “virtual” feature prominently. Among the most popular of these is “virtual museum tours”.Faced with limited audiences and a cash crunch, museums have been looking to their online offerings as a lifeline. Many museums have also begun charging for online tours of popular shows in an effort to tap new supporters.However, the interest in “virtual museum tours” appears to have been notably short-lived. Looking at the history of searches of the term, the interest peaked sharply around March 15-21, right when the US first started forcing stay-at-home order due to the coronavirus.Since then, interest has fallen off, and is now back to almost the same as what it was pre-pandemic. Search for “virtual field trips” shows a similar pattern. In contrast, another term, “virtual learning”, had a less impressive spike at the beginning, but then grew dramatically over the summer as the realities of school closings set in. Interest in “virtual learning” has remained relatively elevated since.It may be that virtual museum tours and virtual field trips were the first things that came to mind as distractions for stuck-at-home people, but they proved poor substitutes for the real experience and offered little reason to come back to them over time. The search data could be a reminder for the museum sector to actively improve and promote their virtual tours, so as to attract its potential audience on a more regular basis.Source | artnet newsAuthor | Ben Davis

Can Museums Benefit from Amazon’s Virtual Classes and Sightseeing Tours?

2021-01-06

Amazon has recently launched a new service which allows people to access experts in their field and to enjoy virtual touring experiences. Billed as Amazon Explore, the service provides a platform to connect people who wish to know or learn something with people who can offer expertise and insights over a computer screen.At a time when people can’t go abroad due to travel restrictions, the service is providing a virtual alternative. Many of the service providers using the platform now provide virtual tourism to some far-off places and overseas cultural landmarks. For example, one operator provides an online wine tasting experience from their vineyard estate in Argentina. On Amazon Explore there are also virtual experiences that have a distinctly more cultural feel, for instance one can enjoy a guided tour of the famous Nanzenji Temple in Kyoto, Japan from the comfort of home, or explore a mansion in Peru that dates back half a millennium.Although for now the service is not yet global as only customers from the United States could sign up for it, it has a great potential in the museum sector. In a world where visitor numbers have fallen dramatically around the world as a result of the global pandemic, virtual tours and live streaming presentations have been one of the best ways that institutions could reach their audiences. Amazon Explore may help a lot of institutions which have yet to provide virtual experiences with a cost-effective way of doing so.What makes Amazon Explore more suitable to museum sector than other virtual guided tours is that, first, it only offers tours led by trained local experts, which could be attractive to institutions where expertise and knowledge is already a differentiator; and furthermore, Amazon Explore always offers one-on-one session between the guide and the subscriber, which means that meaningful interactions can occur in real-time, and subscribers could get a more comprehensive experience as opposed to passive consumption from merely watching. Other than opening up new avenues for audience interactions and public education, it could also be a way that museums reduce their financial loss by charging from the service.Source | MuseumNextAuthor | Jim Richardson
