Deaccessioning is not new but it has reached new levels of controversy in the current state of economic hardship facing our institutions at the moment. In the first episode of Season 5 of the podcast Revisionist History titled “Dragon Psychology 101”, Malcolm Gladwell asks the question, ”Why not just sell something to pay the bills?” and proposes that museums are just hoarding if they refuse to sell amidst trying circumstances that result in mass layoffs and financial hardship.
#ARCSchat has solicited the help of two experts to react to the episode and directly address this challenging question. Robin Cooper, the Manager of Curatorial Affairs at the Indianapolis Museum of Art at Newfields, joins to represent the curatorial and cultural interests at play. Nicholas O’Donnell, Partner at the law firm Sullivan & Worcester in Boston, who argued on behalf of the museum membership in the now landmark Berkshire Museum deaccession case and recently presented in front of the US Supreme Court will provide legal insight.

#ARCSChat January 2020: Art + Museum Transparency

Friday Jan 10, 2020
Happy New Year and welcome back for January’s #ARCSChat! This month hosts John Robinette (@CargaLatina) and Amanda Robinson (@ARobKabob) sit down and speak with Michelle Millar Fishar (@AMTransparency), one of the founders of the Art and Museum Salary Spreadsheet, the Internship spreadsheet, and most recently, a Union spreadsheet. Our conversation dives into how the salary spreadsheet came to be, looks at some of the wider ranging labor disputes happening in the museum and collections field, and explores both the future of Art + Museum Transparency and how we can begin to enact small levels of change, creating a field of collections stewardship that is more inclusive, accessible and diverse.
Below are links to the resources we discussed in our chat:
