Congrats to me — now a curator for the Brooklyn Museum!
How cool is it that the Brooklyn Museum’s summer photography exhibit “Click!” will be entirely curated by the general public?
Last month the museum held an open call for photographic responses to the theme “Changing Faces of Brooklyn.” Now, visitors to the museum’s website are asked to evaluate the resulting submissions to determine which of them will be included in the exhibition (scheduled to run June 27-August 10).
The idea behind the crowd-curation was inspired by the book the Wisdom of Crowds by New Yorker columnist James Surowiecki, in which he asserts a diverse crowd is often wiser at decision-making than expert individuals. “Click!” sets out to explore whether this premise can be applied to the visual arts.
Cast your votes now through May 23 at the Brooklyn Museum’s “Click!” website.
