When Harold Met Blogging: Museum Enters Blogosphere via Costume Institute Show
Curator Harold Koda has helped the Metropolitan Museum of Art dip its 137-year-old toe into the blogosphere. Last week saw the opening of “blog.mode: addressing fashion,” an exhibition that presents 65 pieces from the Met’s Costume Institute and then invites visitors to post comments about them–at a terminal at the exhibition’s “blogbar” or from anywhere. Through April 13, individual costumes and accessories will be posted on the exhibition’s blog, which will include commentary from Koda and co-organizer Andrew Bolton as well as from contemporary designers.
“While painting and sculpture can sometimes seem to be at an intimidating conceptual remove, fashion is so familiar, so ubiquitous to our experience that it is inherently and immediately accessible,” says Koda.
