Hello, all:
For an upcoming issue of the Exhibitionist, the magazine of the
National Association for Museum Exhibition, on "Exhibiting the un-
Exhibitable" I am writing an article on science museums making
exhibits on things that are too big, too small, too fast, or too slow
to be directly experienced.
So, I am seeking examples of this from science museums, and I am also
seeking a few people who have developed exhibits that fall into these
categories that might be willing to be "interviewed" via email,
discussing the challenges of these kinds of exhibitions, and how they
addressed them.
If you have ideas of exhibits that fall into these categories, please
share them on the list (I will also be combing exhibitfiles) If you
are willing to participate in a short written interview, please
contact me offlist at the email address below.
BTW, as a short pitch, if you haven't seen the Exhibitionist ever, or
recently, it is very worth a look. We have hired Gretchen Jennings as
the editor, and she is bringing it to another level building on the
great work of her volunteer predecessors.
Thanks in advance.
