During the final week of the Making Use exhibition, artist Neil Cummings will lead an all-day interactive workshop designed to discuss the possible models of a museum 3.0. During the workshop, through the use of simple tools, the participants will inhabit 2061 as a shared and contested place, imagining the possible futures of art, the museum, and the cultures in which they are situated. The group will be required to work out how to get there. In preparation, it is kindly requested that all potential participants spend a few minutes thinking about:
“In 2061, the art museum will be .……….. ”
“My interaction with museum 3.0 consists of ……….. ”
“Warsaw has ………. in 2061”
