		<title>Poll: What Age of Museums is this?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m wanting to do something of a weekly poll in the vein of my Most Important Function of Museums and Role of the Curator posts from a while back.
This week, something about just how we choose to define the time we&#8217;re in now.
What Age of Museums is this?
Use whatever word from whatever terminology you wish. [...]]]></description>

		<title>Channel Newcurator: Winscape</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Channel Newcurator. Every Tuesday and Thursday.

An interesting addition to an exhibition design? This video shows what you can do with two big flatscreens, some easily available technology and a IR-emitting necklace. $3000 for the lot. You could look out onto a Roman city, Mars or the view Turner had from his Margate home.
Via Core77.

		<title>New Museum Metrics</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Andrew Taylor of the Artful Manager writes about an interesting toolkit for measuring success in theatres aside from the usual headcount and box office. Some interesting quotes from the handbook.
Every time [The Arts Council of England] give money to us, at the back of their minds they are rehearsing arguments about why it hasn&#8217;t gone to a [...]]]></description>

		<title>Solution Series: The Resilient Museum Part One</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The greatest financial threat to museums and their workers was the global financial meltdown. The shock to the global system sent the museum industries into a freefall regardless of nationality. Museums based on a model of philanthropic support found the rich were giving less. Local government institutions have had budgets slashed. Everyone found their investments [...]]]></description>

		<title>You Are Not a Curator</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The Information Superabundance. It flows all around us and drowns us. It saturates our increasingly mobile computers. It follows us around through our increasingly powerful phones. It engorges our still-infuriating television. It invades more and more space.
It managed to turn the music industry inside out. It turned the film industry into a paranoid delusional inmate. [...]]]></description>

		<title>PlateaKnit Results</title>

		<title>Back Up</title>
		<description><![CDATA[January has been a rather quiet month here at newcurator so there&#8217;s plenty to catch up on. Most of last week I had that wonderful seasonal sickness that turned simple thought processes into mammoth tasks.
Then, all of the bandwidth was used up. Bizarre really. Normally, each blog post brings in a predictable amount of traffic. [...]]]></description>

They&#8217;re up to Project VI now, what they are calling PlateaKnit. It&#8217;s being lead by one-time ArtFriday alumnus Ingrid Murnane.
Using the twitter hashtag #plateaknit, &#8220;instructors&#8221; call out instructions using the abbreviations set [...]]]></description>

I am very impressed with this. You take a picture, its gets scanned with something that looks like an edge-detect and it seraches [...]]]></description>

		<title>Manly Curating?</title>

So, the Arts of the Samurai exhibition at Met has an increased ratio of male viewers. Maybe because of the interest in a period in history when masculinity was measured upon the integrity of one&#8217;s code of honour and that this culture appeared almost on the other side of the world.
Apparently not. This guy [...]]]></description>
