I’ll be posting a Click! update later today after we crunch some numbers. We won’t be posting any results until the exhibition opens on June 27, but we will be writing about different aspects of the open call and evaluation process and will include some basic numbers on the amount of participation. In the meantime, there are two projects worth mentioning here.
First, our friends at the Walker Art Center are having an call for submissions for artist-designed political yard signs. The call for the My Yard Our Message project is open to artist worldwide through June 30. Robin has a post up with details and be sure to catch this great radio interview with Justin about the project here.
Second, many of the photographers who submitted photos for Click! are part of the What’s the Hook community photo project. What’s the Hook will be at various venues in Red Hook this summer and each will host a separate set of photographs. Full schedule has been posted and the first show at the Kentler is up now.
Watch the blog for Click! updates throughout the next month and during the exhibition’s run.
Shelley Bernstein is the former Vice Director of Digital Engagement & Technology at the Brooklyn Museum where she spearheaded digital projects with public participation at their center. In the most recent example—ASK Brooklyn Museum—visitors ask questions using their mobile devices and experts answer in real time. She organized three award-winning projects—Click! A Crowd-Curated Exhibition, Split Second: Indian Paintings, GO: a community-curated open studio project—which enabled the public to participate in the exhibition process.
Shelley was named one of the 40 Under 40 in Crain's New York Business and her work on the Museum's digital strategy has been featured in the New York Times.
In 2016, Shelley joined the staff at the Barnes Foundation as the Deputy Director of Digital Initiatives and Chief Experience Officer.
