Did you know you can e-volunteer for the IMA from anywhere in the world?
The IMA’s e-volunteer program is starting to take off. Recently volunteers created a list of the 100 Most Important Artworks at the IMA, and now are starting to work through the list to make articles about every one.
Last summer we documented all of the outdoor artworks on the 150 acre campus.
What’s next? Whatever you want to do to help create information about IMA artworks in Wikipedia, or my personal favorite, create encyclopedic articles about conservation practices. So far there are good articles on:
Conservation and restoration of silver objects
Conservation and restoration of ceramic objects
Check out the e-volunteer program here.
My Back Against the Record Machine: Suse Cairns: Do museum staff have the right to be offline?
Interesting article, but I’m still not really sure what is meant by “staff”.
I’m just as interested in the question: “Do artworks have the right to be offline?”
There have been a number of interesting and important discussions taking place around the ‘Net in the follow up to Museum and the Web, and hopefully over the coming week or two we’ll get to explore a few of them. One post that I keep coming back to, however, is Koven Smith’s Leave tech in the…

Andrea Zittel, Sprawl I, 2002. Collection of the Museum of Modern Art New York.
This week’s Modern Art Notes Podcast features artist Andrea Zittel. A survey of Zittel’s work, titled “Lay of the Land,” is on view now at the Baltic Center for Contemporary Art in Gateshead, England. The show was organized by Stockholm’s Magasin 3, where it opened late last year. In 2005, the Contemporary Arts Museum Houston and the New Museum for Contemporary Art in New York organized a traveling American survey of her work.
There’s also a significant installation of Zittel’s work on MoMA’s second floor right now, part of the collection-based exhibition “1980-Now.” Sprawl I, which is based on satellite imagery of human encroachment into the American desert, is one of the 12 Zittels on view.
Zittel lives and works at A-Z West outside Joshua Tree, Calif., an enterprise that encompasses “all aspects of day to day living, [in which] home furniture, clothing, food all become the sites of investigation in an ongoing endeavor to better understand human nature and the social construction of needs.” Zittel also operates High Desert Test Sites, a series of experimental art sites in the California desert.
For the show’s second segment, Katherine Ball, who lived on Zittel’s Indy Island (2010), joins me to discuss her residency at the Indianapolis Museum of Art. As part of her residency deployed organic mycobooms around the lake to control pollution and installed a greywater system on the Island.
