Blog - Help the Brooklyn Museum Curate a Photography Exhibition

From our friends at the Brooklyn Museum...

Click! A
Crowd-Curated Exhibition is a photography exhibition that invites
Brooklyn Museum’s visitors, the online community, and the general
public to participate in the exhibition process. Taking its inspiration from the critically acclaimed book The Wisdom of
Crowds, in which New Yorker business and financial columnist James
Surowiecki asserts that a diverse crowd is often wiser at making
decisions than expert individuals, Click! explores whether Surowiecki’s
premise can be applied to the visual arts—is a diverse crowd just as
“wise” at evaluating art as the trained experts? Now we need a
diverse crowd. If you know everything about art or nothing at all, we
really need you to help us out. Create an account, log in and evaluate
some of the works that have been submitted during our open call. Your
participation will shape the exhibition, opening at the Museum on June
27, 2008. Evaluation can take a while, but you can do as little or as
much as you want *and* you can log in anytime throughout the eval
period which ends May 23. Register and get started here: www. brooklynmuseum. org/exhibitions/click/
