Hi all! Our IS manager/curator of this show has been looking for a larger and
more diverse group of people to evaluate the photographs submitted for the show
described below and on our website. It occurred to me that MCN might be a good
place to look for some.
Here's the link: http://www.brooklynmuseum.org/exhibitions/click/
Have fun!

Click! is a photography exhibition that invites Brooklyn Museum?s visitors, the
online community, and the general public to participate in the exhibition
process. Taking its inspiration from the critically acclaimed book The Wisdom
of Crowds, in which New Yorker business and financial columnist James
Surowiecki asserts that a diverse crowd is often wiser at making decisions than
expert individuals, Click! explores whether Surowiecki?s premise can be applied
to the visual arts?is a diverse crowd just as ?wise? at evaluating art as the
trained experts?
If you know everything about art or nothing at all, create an account, log in
and evaluate some of the works that have been submitted during our open call
for Click! Evaluation can take a while, but you can do as little or as much as
you want *and* you can log in anytime throughout the eval period which ends May
23. We really need a diverse crowd and that means we need evaluators with range
of knowledge (including none!) and varied geographic locations (including
outside of Brooklyn!), so pass the word on to others.
