As an art curator, my passion lies in creating experiences that captivate and inspire. In today’s digital age, I've embraced the challenge of curating virtual exhibitions that not only showcase incredible art but also offer an immersive experience for audiences around the world. Recently, I had the opportunity to design a virtual exhibition that brings art to life in a way that transcends the physical gallery space. By leveraging cutting-edge technology, I've been able to craft an interactive environment where visitors can explore, engage, and connect with art from the comfort of their own homes. But what truly sets this experience apart is the integration of live events—from curator and artist Q&As to community talks—that align seamlessly with the exhibition. These events are more than just add-ons; they are foundations for deeper engagement, sparking conversations that break down barriers between the artist, the art, and the audience. These events not only enhance the virtual exhibition but also enable a sense of community, encouraging dialogue that extends beyond the digital walls. What excites me most about virtual exhibitions is their potential to reach a global audience. No longer bound by geography, we can now share the beauty of art with anyone, anywhere. Each exhibition I curate is thoughtfully designed to ensure that the online experience is as impactful and memorable as a visit to a physical gallery. The feedback from this recent project has been overwhelmingly positive, with many attendees remarking on how the virtual format allowed them to engage with the artwork in new and unexpected ways. It's clear that the future of art curation is not just in the gallery walls but in the limitless possibilities of the digital realm. If you're curious about how virtual exhibitions can elevate your art experience or if you’re interested in collaborating on future projects, I’d love to connect and discuss further!

Exhibitions—past, present, and future—are rich sources of inspiration for storytelling. Whether revisiting past exhibitions for new takes, adapting current exhibits for digital audiences, or planning future online stories alongside upcoming displays, museum exhibitions offer endless opportunities to connect collections with compelling narratives. In her latest blog post, Rachael Cristine Woody shares practical tips for using exhibitions to inspire online storytelling, showing how they can bring your collection to life in fresh and meaningful ways.

3D Scanning in Museums: Allowed or Not? : I’m reading a story from two years ago about a conflict regarding 3D scanning at museums. The post 3D Scanning in Museums: Allowed or Not?  appeared on Fabbaloo. #3DPrinting #AdditiveManufacturing

Creating a museum exhibit is no small feat. The process begins with a clear understanding of your objectives. What do you want visitors to learn, feel, or experience? https://lnkd.in/gEGB2FQx #museums #museumdesign

How do you curate an art show for a museum? I honestly never gave it much thought until my conversation with @Nandini Markandi and co-host @Melissa Hefferlin. I’ve always appreciated the shows I’ve seen, but never thought in detail about what might be involved. Our conversation with Nandini, the Head Curator at the Hunter Museum in Chattanooga, TN changed that profoundly. The video clip with Nandini below is an eyeopener. It’s as important to lead the conversation about how we see, perceive, and think about women’s roles in art as it is in, say, advertising. Here’s a teaser quote from the beginning of the video “if everything in a gallery is a painting of a white woman by a white man, [then] ….” Expanding horizons and educating museum goers is already a huge task. But Nandini also takes on attracting ALL people to her museum and works to help them recognize themselves in the art, and learn about different cultures, traditions, and ways to see the world! If you like the clip below, I encourage you to listen to the entire conversation to learn a lot more about how museums today are looking to include all people, not just the elite into the conversation.

How do you make an institution that's both a museum and a memorial — at the same time? ** NEW PODCAST ** Making a Memorial Museum, with Alice Greenwald How are exhibitions like theater? Is a museum a group experience, or a personal one — or is that a trick question? When is it time to trust your gut? Why is collaboration so important? When is a single milk can the most important object in a museum? How can one philosophy inform everyone’s work, from the curators to the team making mounts for the artifacts? How are the principles of making a memorial museum different from other types of museums — or are they so different after all? Alice M. Greenwald (Principal of Memory Matters LLC, and past President and Chief Executive Officer of the 9/11 Memorial & Museum) joins host Jonathan Alger (Managing Partner, C&G Partners) to discuss “Making a Memorial Museum.” Along the way: spackling, reverence, and what happens when a museum director leaves their office door open. + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + HOW TO LISTEN: Search for “Making the Museum” at any podcast service, big or small (Apple, Spotify).

I often hear that our virtual museums are “not real,” unlike physical museums. But let me ask: how “real” are artworks hidden away in museum storerooms or private collections? No one sees them, no one knows they’re there—so how does their reality matter to the public? This is a deep and complex topic, one that deserves a separate discussion. For now, let’s focus on a simple fact: what can a person with average vision actually see in a traditional museum hall like that? A painting hung meters above eye level—perhaps just a forest in the distance? How can one truly admire the artist’s skill if the details are barely visible? And let’s not forget how overcrowded displays can make it hard to focus on a single masterpiece. Virtual museums on the META(art) platform solve this problem. You can walk through the same halls, appreciate the architecture, and fully immerse yourself in the artworks without distractions. Want to study every detail? Go ahead. Feel like admiring every brushstroke of a genius? It’s right there for you. And all this can be done in a regular browser, at any time, from anywhere. No crowds. And, by the way, no tickets.

3-Weeks Series on Emerging Technology Trends in Contemporary Art 🌟 Introduction Through attending exhibitions, art fairs, and shows over the last couple of months, I’ve been intrigued by how our surroundings and the use of technology alter our art experience. A recent visit to the exhibition “When We See Us” at Kunstmuseum Basel marked a starting point for me to delve into the theme of art and technology. This moment inspired me to conduct further research and share my findings with my LinkedIn network. I see three major trends worth observing closely. Each trend has significant implications for future audience immersion in contemporary art. Three Major Technology Trends in Showcasing Contemporary Art 1. Mixed Reality Experiences: The rise of mixed-reality technologies, such as the Apple Vision Pro, enhances how audiences engage with art, allowing virtual gallery visits and interactive exhibitions from anywhere in the world. 🌐 Potential influences on future art immersion: • Enhanced Engagement • Global Accessibility • Personalized Experiences 2. AI and Art Authentication: AI is increasingly used for art authentication, analyzing unique characteristics of artworks to combat forgery and enhance trust in the art market. 🖼️ Impacts on audience perception and engagement: • Increased Trust • Educational Insights • Enhanced Conservation 3. Digital and Online Platforms: The expansion of online galleries and virtual auctions democratizes access to art, enabling broader participation and making art more accessible to diverse audiences. 💻 Influences on audience immersion: • Broader Participation • Interactive Features • Community Building Call to Action 📣 To my network: What major technology trends in showcasing contemporary art do you see? I’d love to hear your thoughts and insights in the comments below. 🎨🔍 #EmergingTech, #ContemporaryArt, #ArtAndTechnology #ExcelsoContemporary Caption for the Artwork Photo Marc Padeu, “All the Light on Me” (2021) Acrylic on canvas, 200 x 338 cm (78 3/4 x 133 1/8 in) Currently exhibited at Kunstmuseum Gegenwart in Basel in “When We See Us” exhibition.
