Dear list, I'm new to this list and interested both because much of my curatorial practice has been collaborative and, more significantly, the formal and informal models of collaboration that I think are a central feature of digital culture and the topic of this list are important models. Some specific collaborative efforts have included: Shock of the View: Audiences: Artists, Audiences and Museums in the Digital Age http://www.walkerart.org/salons/shockoftheview/sv_front.html which included multi-organizational involvement and distributed curating. ArtsConnectEd (http://www.artsconnected.org), which I co-initiated, is an ongoing educational site that concatenates the digital resources of Walker Art Center and The Minneapolis Institute of Arts. I also co-initiated the artists' platform mnartist.org (http://www.mnartists.org), which is intended as a site for any and all Minnesota-based artists, and while directed by its founders is attempting to migrate more and more control to members. Upcoming projects are also collaborative at personnel, institutional, and conceptual levels, hence my interest. In reference to Trebor's question below re museum-library collaborations, I think the example of library collaborations is an important one. As a field, libraries have been far ahead in terms of collaboration (than museums) and there are many projects that tackle issues of large scale collaboration, scalability and sustainability in really thoughtful and pragmatic ways. They can also seem/be overpoweringly bureaucratic, but still worth examining. There are a number of really interesting papers for an NSF conference on the Post Digital library that are worth skimming as an introduction to these efforts at: http://www.sis.pitt.edu/~dlwkshop/papers.html Steve Dietz On 12/18/03 11:37 PM, "Trebor Scholz" <trebor-*at*earthlink.net>; wrote:
