Creativity Challenge #3

4/20/2018

0 Comments

 
This month's challenge is short and sweet...six words, to be exact. It comes to us courtesy of Ernest Hemingway, who famously wrote "For Sale - baby shoes, never worn".  Now, we want you to craft a six word story about an object in your collection. Get the details here.

Remember - all you have to do is complete the task, and take a photo to share on social media - this can be a photo of your team doing the challenge, and/or whatever product happened to come from the challenge itself. Use the hashtag #creativityincubator - and post in the CI Community on FB, or on Twitter or Instagram - that’s it! Remember to tag GHHN and NYSCA in the posts so we can see them!

Things Aren't Always What They Seem

Expansion spherique de la lumiere (Centripede et Centrifuge) [Spherical Expansion of Light (Centripetal and Centrifugal)]. by Gino Severini, 1914
Walking into the museum where I worked and trying to see it from an outsider’s perspective wasn’t easy.  What made it particularly difficult was being instructed to present an object on view in a way that was completely unfamiliar to me.  Still, when the Munson-Williams-Proctor Arts Institute hosted the Creativity Incubator, I was game.

Lia Tamborra of Museum Hack, one of the Museum Mavericks for the session, told us to shake things up.  We had certain key points to hit, but there seemed to be almost too much freedom.  We could have opinions about the piece and make our little group presentations personal - both of which are often discouraged in Museum Education, as they can influence a visitor too much.  Still, my team of new colleagues and I gave it our best shot and came up with something that I think was actually a lot of fun.
