  • Public Curation As Civic Engagement: Naming Success in Participatory Curatorial Models
    Public Curation as Civic Engagement: Naming Success in Participatory Curatorial Models Amanda Stone A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts University of Washington 2014 Committee: Kris Morrissey Theresa Ronquillo Program Authorized to Offer Degree: Department of Museology © Copyright 2014 Amanda Stone Abstract Public Curation as Civic Engagement: Naming Success in Participatory Curatorial Models Amanda Stone Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Dr. Kris Morrissey Museology In a 2002, Mastering Community Engagement was published by the American Alliance of Museums as a “call to action” through their Museums and Community Initiative to inspire more civic-minded museum practice, envisioning the museum as an active player in the community, a safe haven, and a center for dialogue and change. (AAM) The study noted that civic engagement “…occurs when museum and community intersect – on subtle and overt ways, over time, and as an accepted and natural way of doing business.” (AAM, 9) One method museums have used to facilitate civic engagement is public curation. Although community–institution collaboration as a design process has been applied in the fields of social sciences, art, and the humanities, there is a deficit of knowledge about how to approach or measure the impact of this collaborative work in the museum industry, and the terminology or vernacular around this work is inconsistent and varied. Thus, this research attempts to articulate goals and potential indicators of success, which may be useful to museums that are exploring or assessing community collaboratives around exhibit development. The study uses qualitative research methods from the field of feminist methodology and the social sciences method of grounded theory.

  • Section Iv. Objects for Exhibit, Interpretive Context, and Suggested Text
    SECTION IV. OBJECTS FOR EXHIBIT, INTERPRETIVE CONTEXT, AND SUGGESTED TEXT The Sonoma County Museum holds in public trust approximately 35,000 items (SCM Board of Trustees 2000:10). One of its most important and extensive collections includes photographs, artifacts, textiles, documents, and artwork bequeathed to the Museum by Song Wong Bourbeau in 1995. Song was the last remaining resident of Santa Rosa’s former Chinatown, which used to stand near the section of Santa Rosa Creek that today flows under City Hall. The assemblage consists of family heirlooms and other household items, objects from a restaurant (in business for over a century), and artifacts from the local Chinese temple. The Song Wong Bourbeau Collection of 238 objects invite us to experience a vital part of our common past while highlighting ethnic identity and cultural history. Our history as a nation is relatively short in years, which should make it easier for most of us to realize that we are a product of the past. Exposing the social institutions, beliefs, and lifeways of our diverse cultural heritage is the mission of history museums. That calls for elaborating on the way a community lives, works, plays, relates to one another, organizes to meet their needs and cope with daily living, along with recognizing their norms, values, and beliefs (King 2002:12). When an exhibit is specific to one affected community an effort needs to be made to involve them in the project. As this research proceeds, it will seek support and information from the Chinese American community. A draft manuscript will be presented to representatives of the Redwood Empire Chinese Association [RECA] and the Chinese Historical Society of America [CHSA] for their input.

  • Actor, Artist
    Name in English: Keye Luke Name in Chinese: 陆 陆 麟 [ 陸錫麟] Name in Pinyin: Lù Xīlín Gender: Male Birth Year: 1904-1991 Birth Place: Guangzhou, China Profession (s): Actor, Artist Education: Graduate, Franklin High School - Seattle, Washington, 1922 Awards: 1990, Star (Motion Pictures) - Hollywood Walk of Fame, Hollywood Chamber of Commerce; 1986, Lifetime Achievement Award, Association of Asian/Pacific American Artists Contribution (s): Keye Luke represented Asian America to film audiences from the 1930s until his death in 1991. He appeared in over 100 films and in numerous TV shows for many different major studios. He also contributed his voice to radio shows and in animation and acted as a technical advisor on Hollywood films with Chinese themes. At a time when most Asian Americans were cast solely in stereotypical subservient roles, Keye Luke often stood out for playing dignified characters while speaking perfect unaccented English. He couldn't escape the times he lived in though. If you didn't play the parts that the studio system assigned then you simply didn't get to work in Hollywood. He was forced to play his share of stereotypes, but as quoted in the Internet Movie Database said, "I have played so many doctors and characters in the mainstream. Because of my appearance, or because of my personality, or whatever it may be, I was always put into good Boy Scout roles -- lawyers, doctors, business executives and tycoons, the nice Chinese guy down the block." He was born in Guangzhou, China but grew up in Seattle, Washington. The family of Wing Luke, who grew up to become Washington State's first Asian American elected official, was related to Keye Luke.

  • REQUEST for QUALIFICATIONS Chinese American Legacy Artwork Project
    CALL FOR ARTISTS – REQUEST FOR QUALIFICATIONS Chinese American Legacy Artwork Project Deadline: Friday, November 1, 2019 at 4:30pm. Applications must be received by the deadline, no postmarks. PROJECT SUMMARY The Wing Luke Museum of the Asian Pacific American Experience (The Wing) in partnership with a community- led committee based in Seattle, WA, known as the Chinese American Legacy Artwork Project, is seeking an artist or artist team to develop site-specific public artwork that recognizes and preserves the legacy of the forced expulsion of Chinese in 1886 from Seattle. This permanent artwork will be located along the Alaskan Way promenade adjacent to the newly designed Central Waterfront, in a location along the east side of the street between South Washington and Main Streets. The selected artist will be expected to develop an artwork of appropriate scale and materials to meet the project criteria in an artistically engaging manner. Please see the images attached for the general site location (see Attachment A and B). For this artist selection process, a review panel will review submitted materials from this Request for Qualifications (RFQ) and select artists who will receive a $2,000 stipend to produce initial concepts and travel to Seattle for panel interviews. The review panel will then recommend a final artist to the project Governing Committee for final selection. The selected final artist will engage community members and work with the project Governing Committee to design artwork that embodies the project goals and meets the approval of all regulatory bodies. The result of this stage of work will be detailed drawings, along with a small model, with approved permitting requirements and specifications ready for fabrication and installment.
