AAM ANNUAL MEETING THOUGHT LEADER SESSION
Announcing a Radical Collaboration with the FLUX Foundation at AAM!
The Museum Group invites you to join an exciting and thought provoking collaboration with the FLUX Foundation. The mission of FLUX (www.fluxfoundation.org ) is to engage people in designing and building large-scale public art as a catalyst for education, collaboration and empowerment. This year at the AAM annual meeting TMG is sponsoring a participant-driven art installation, FLUX Lounge, and an interactive Thought Leader session with the FLUX team of artists and instigators.
FLUX believes that with a drive to learn and a passion to create “anyone can be an artist and build big art.” FLUX will engage with conference attendees to design and build a collaborative work on-site in MuseumExpo™. At registration, all attendees will receive individual installation components that they will then be able to customize and incorporate in a participant-driven installation. Come by to create, reflect, relax, collaborate with FLUX and connect with TMG.
You can follow the progress of the collaborative art project, Colony, here: www.fluxfoundation.org/blog/colony-comes-to-life/
Radical Collaboration:
Building Art through Community/Building Community through Art
Tuesday, May 1, 2012 at 2:00-3:15 p.m. Minneapolis Convention Center Room 101 I-J
This interactive session with the FLUX team of artists and instigators will explore concepts central to their collaborative approach to public art—integrating context, process and outcome, theory and practice. The interplay between the co-created FLUX/TMG Lounge in MuseumExpo™ and the interactive session will reveal and investigate how and why this way of making art matters and provoke reflection among participants on their experiences as makers and creators, thinkers and facilitators, practitioners, and members of the annual meeting community.
FLUX Foundation co-directors, artists and instigators: Jess Hobbs, Catie Magee, Peter Kimelman, Thwen Chaloemtiarana, and Julie Racicot.
FLUX Lounge at Museum Expo • Booth #1927

CONVERSATIONS
TMG will be hosting three small-group Conversations during the AAM Annual Meeting. Conversations promote focused dialogue in an informal and confidential setting about contemporary and sometimes controversial issues. This year we invite you to join us to think about…
How do we balance advocacy around issues key to our values while still keeping our stakeholders with us? (Monday April 30: 9:00 to 10:15 a.m.)
How can we create strong cross-cultural collaborations as a global community of museum professionals? (Monday April 30: 2:00 to 3:15 p.m)
Spark, ignite, tend, fan: How can collaborative work fuel professional development? (Tuesday May 1: 10:45 a.m. to noon)
All TMG Conversations will take place in Suite 2411, at the Hyatt Regency Hotel, 1300 Nicollet Mall (adjacent to the convention center).
