214: The Democratic Museum - A Half Day Seminar
|
|---|
|
A Proposal For LACMA: Drawing from sociologist Joyce Rothschild’s definition of a democratic workplace and Heckscher and Donnellson’s post-bureaucratic network organization, we look at artist co-ops and project spaces that exemplify these structures. Is it possible to design a complex museum or gallery structure that retains the non-hierarchical attributes of start-up exhibition spaces? In the second part of the seminar we work in groups to build several proposals for new museum organizational structures. Date: November 9, from 12-4 (1 meeting) |
