Museums: the cure for a crowded house? At annual conference, professionals discuss how museums could become an escape from cramped urban living and the power of technology The Art Newspaper, 23 May 2013
BALTIMORE, MD – "Will the shrinking size of US apartments drive more people to visit museums? “If you aren’t hanging out with friends at home, you need somewhere else to go,” said Elizabeth Merritt, the founding director of the Centre for the Future of Museums, at a presentation during the American Alliance of Museums’ (AAM) annual meeting this week (19-22 May). Increased urban density, a growing online audience for museums and shrinking government funding for the arts were among the subjects discussed at the 107th annual event, which drew more than 5,000 museum professionals to Baltimore, Maryland. According to Merritt, by 2050, 75% of the earth’s population will live in cities, a trend that is leading local governments to experiment with zoning regulations and minimum apartment sizes. “Museums have the opportunity to become a ‘third space’” for a public looking to socialise, she said."

The 200 meter-long twisting structure is informed by the gnarled burls of wood albeit expressed architectonically with a skin of polished steel plates. an abstraction of nature is at the conceptual center of the building which serves to house local wood sculptures as well as paintings depicting the snow-laden and icy landscape. The tedium of the urban grid is ruptured with the sinuous, light-reflecting form while skylights split the surface of the architecture so as to wash the interiors with light from the low-hanging northern chinese sun.

From Tate to the Louvre, the world's best museums and galleries online Many gallery websites now offer a rich, behind-the-scenes look at their vast collections. Here, we take a virtual tour of the most (and least) innovative museums The Guardian, 9 April 2013
UK – "Tate, UK. Tate galleries were among the first to recognise the value of the internet – both for engaging with visitors, and for offering multimedia exhibition guides. Their clear, easy-to-use website includes a wide range of blogs; a dedicated Tate Channel of artist video interviews and short films; and no fewer than 16 apps. These are mostly free, and range from the educational, such as the Tate Guide to Modern Art Terms, to the just-for-fun: the Muybridgizer allows you to create an Eadweard Muybridge-style animation using your iPhone camera. Most apps are only available for iPad and iPhone, but Tate is slowly developing availability for Android: I downloaded their guide to the current Roy Lichtenstein show at Tate Modern to my Samsung smartphone, and flicked through a selection of his paintings and scrapbooks from my desk. Brilliant. 10/10"

U.K. believes in the economic power of arts startups The Globe and Mail, 23 May 2013
UK – "Ten years ago, urban theorist Richard Florida popularized the idea that creative people are linked to economic growth in his book The Rise of the Creative Class. As his theory goes, cities with high concentrations of creatives – designers, musicians, tech workers, artists, and so on – tend to experience higher levels of economic development. But it’s not necessarily the creatives themselves who drive growth, per se; to those who accept Dr. Florida’s ideas (and he has had considerable influence on some city planners), the creative class is seen as having an indirect impact by fostering an exciting, dynamic and open culture that lends itself to innovation.

Why cultural tourism is not a quick fix Partnerships are key, says Helen Palmer, but cultural tourism depends on brutal honesty about your offering, not democracy The Guardian, 15 April 2013
UK – "Cultural tourism has been a concept I've applied for years, whether launching an international arts festival or working with cultural consortia and destination management organisations. But it's only in the last couple of years that there's been an awareness in the wider cultural sector of just how valuable cultural tourism is – an awareness underlined recently via the newly-signed memorandum of understanding between Arts Council England and Visit England. This burgeoning interest in cultural tourism and the recognition of its potential to generate profile, new visitors and economic impact can only be a good thing. But I'd offer a few words of advice: cultural tourism is not and can never be a quick fix. It's not simply a new style of marketing, nor is it a case of saying the same thing but in a different way."
