2021 in the Rearview
Here are some good things I'll be carrying with me and considering some more in 2022. (Each title link below brings you to a related 2021 ExhibiTricks post.)
I always enjoy being inspired by and sharing the work of creative folks. I especially enjoyed the wonderful cable tie sculptures made by Sui Park.
Taking a little time to prototype and test ideas is such an important part of making great exhibits, but so often overlooked or "rationalized" away. Make a New Year's resolution to use more TAPE!
Some museums have it, and some don't. What can you do in 2022 to imbue your work, and the places where you work, with authentic museum spirit?
I think one of the major strengths of museum workers is their willingness to share -- their ideas, their time, their hard-won lessons learned. So I was delighted this year to work with ASTC to release all four volumes of the Exhibit Cheapbooks out into the wild for FREE! (Of course, you can always check out the "Free Exhibit Resources" section of the POW! website for articles, videos, and other cool stuff!)
Here's wishing ExhibiTricks readers and subscribers a happy, healthy, and prosperous 2022!
