    Tendencias de la Web Social: Oportunidades para Museos

    Published by sherezade en apuros on 14 de octubre de 2008 at 07:48. 1 Comments

    Más vale tarde que nunca. Por fin puedo compartir con vosotros la presentación visual de mi conferencia para el curso: "Las instituciones de la memoria en la red. Nuevas dimensiones del museo", organizado por la Fundación Rey Juan Carlos y el Museo Thyssen-Bornemisza y celebrado en Aranjuez en julio de 2008.

    He de decir que el curso fue una experiencia magnífica, tanto por los ponentes que por allí pasaron, como por el público que asistió. Los participantes (nunca mejor dicho) fueron tremendamente interesantes, participativos y pusieron de relieve que en nuestro país existen muchos profesionales de museos deseosos de que sus instituciones adopten herramientas web 2.0 de interacción y participación cultural. En resumen, muy esperanzador.

    Como parte de mi presentación proyecté una serie de vídeos sobre museos que extraje de las redes sociales y que iré compartiendo con todos vosotros en entradas posteriores, dentro de la sección: "Lo que los museos dicen..." / "What museums say..."

    What Museums Say... about Tate

    Published by sherezade en apuros on 8 de agosto de 2008 at 07:45. 0 Comments

    Today, for the section "What Museums Say..." I am posting a totally relevant testimony by art museums. Here it is,

    A discussion with Tate about the use of sites like these     shared by grewliketopsy. As the author remarks, the video is,
    A 14 minute interview with John Stack, Editor of Tate Online and Sarah Briggs, marketing manager for Tate, about how organisations and individuals can use sites like flickr, facebook, MySpace and YouTube etc for reaching a broader audience and giving increased functionality and interactivity than what is possible on an individual website.

    It is pretty long to be into the standards of online videos, but interesting indeed.

    What Museums Say... about Seattle Art Museum

    Published by sherezade en apuros on 6 de agosto de 2008 at 13:26. 0 Comments

    This post is the first one in English of the series "Lo que los museos dicen...", which in its English version is called, "What Museums Say..." This section shows a different point of view to the so called "User Generated Content" (UGC) by featuring what art museums are saying -online- about themselves.

    One of the most interesting approaches to this problem is checking how museums are advertising themselves. As you will keep watching in future posts of this section, there are lots of wonderful and very creative examples of self-introductions by art museums. One of my favorites is this one by Seattle Art Museum, USA, posted by coleweber, I guess, the author of the featured spot. I t is my belief that this is a good spot because it is focussed on museum visitors' experience and not on, as often used to happen, what museums do, have, want, etc. Here I can f-e-e-l what is going to happen to me if I visited Seattle Art Museum, because when I visit art museums, I not only used to learn, mainly I have experiences. Here you can have yours. Any comments on how to interpret this video?



    If you also understand Spanish, do not forget checking the topics section of the right column, and clicking on some other examples of Museums talking about themselves at     "Lo que los museos dicen..."; or, why not, people speaking about museums at "Lo que la gente dice..." and its equivalent in English, "What People Say..."

    Two days ago the always interesting blog "El Blog del Guerrero" by Centro José Guerrero in Granada (Spain,) published an article on Artforum Video, the new section of Artforum compiling a selection of videos available on the social web. Although the initiative could present some issues on artists' permissions and I agree on, "some kind of permissions disclaimer should appear on ArtForum, since the authority of their site’s curation outweighs its source;" I consider it a good understanding of the benefits social web can provide to the art world. In fact, during the past months at lamusediffuse we have being doing something similar.

    lamusediffuseTV is a group of YouTube Playlists on relevant topics of museums. From specific areas of the world to common topics, lamusediffuseTV tries to present a curated vision of museums at YouTube. We encourage you watching them and sharing with us your reactions and any other video you considered interesting to add at lamusediffuse's channel. Maybe, if you are planning any visit during this summertime you should check first our lamusediffuseTV - Queues at Museums. Discouraging, but soooooooo real...

    Lo que los museos dicen... del Museo de Bellas Artes de Bilbao

    Published by sherezade en apuros on 1 de julio de 2008 at 05:00. 0 Comments

    Sin lugar a duda, los museos están cambiando su forma de concebirse y presentarse. De meros contenedores de objetos han pasado a tomar conciencia de que, además, son la comunidad a la que se deben y que les visita y conforma. Se trat pues de una idea muy ligada a las nuevas formas de relación social propiciadas por las tecnologías sociales de interacción y participación a través de internet. Debido a estos cambios y a que los propios museos y los profesionales que en ellos trabajan desean también presentarse y contar lo que hacen, voy a comenzar con otra sección denominada "Lo que los museos dicen..."

    Un buen ejemplo de esta nueva forma de entenderse por parte de los museos lo ha protagonizado el Museo de Bellas Artes de Bilbao, quien para conmemorar su centenario ha utilizado como imagen la esencia de su naturaleza: sus visitantes y usuarios. Y es que las propuestas más modernas no tienen por qué ser patrimonio exclusivo de los museos de corte más contemporáneo.

    Museum of Iraq Moving Forward

    Published by sherezade en apuros on 8 de junio de 2008 at 04:36. 0 Comments




    After the campaign for raising awareness on the looting of the National Museum of Iraq, there is some hope about the recovering of such a marvellous museum,

    The Baghdad Museum, which has been sealed with concrete, is to be reopened to staff. Shortly before antiquities head Donny George went into exile last August, he had all the entrances to the building blocked, because of the deteriorating security situation in Baghdad. Dr George admitted that this could have created environmental problems, but he felt it was too dangerous to protect the museum with just locked doors.

    Dr Abbas al-Hussainy, the new director of the state board of antiquities, told The Art Newspaper last month that he is now “very worried about underground water”. This could cause dampness, or even flooding, since the museum is located close to the Tigris. Ivories and cuneiform tablets would be particularly vulnerable. There are also concerns that rats may have multiplied in the museum over the past year.

    After facing the dilemma of having to balance security and environmental risks, Dr Abbas has decided that the building should be reopened to staff. In the current security situation, there is no immediate prospect of the museum being open to visitors.

    The Italian government recently provided a massive steel security door for the Baghdad museum. Last month a gap was breached in the wall and the new door was cemented into place. Beyond the security door there are two further locked doors, and when we went to press, these had not been entered, so conditions inside the stores still remain unknown.

    Dr Abbas also revealed that there have been three attempts by Coalition troops to enter the museum and antiquities office in the past two months. The first two incidents involved Americans. On the first occasion they forced their way into the compound (but not the buildings); there was a similar incident a week later. On the third occasion a group of westerners in civilian clothing brandished an unsigned letter of authority, but retreated on being questioned.

    Meanwhile the British Museum is in discussions with the Department for Culture, Media and Sport about financial assistance to aid the Baghdad museum and Iraq’s archaeological service. (The Art Newspaper)

    However, the reopening of the museum still seems to be very far. In addition to the important budget constraints for the rehabilitation of the building, the recovering of the looted artifacts and the restauration of the remaining pieces; another crucial problem is the lack of security for protential visitors. For this reason at lamusediffuse we have started a project on Flickr called "Museum of Iraq 2.0" on Photos on Iraqi art, artifacts and cultural heritage disseminated in collections from all over the world. Add to this pool all the art works which belonged to the looted National Museum of Iraq in Baghdad or are part of the Iraqi Heritage and currently are in other museums' collections. We are looking forward your contributions to make this museum and Iraqi culture open to everybody.
