Mills College Art Museum (MCAM) invites pitches for Glass Cube, MCAM’s archive and collections blog.
Mills College Art Museum (MCAM) invites pitches for Glass Cube, MCAM’s archive and collections blog hosted by Medium. Glass Cube publishes original research-based content — essays, stories, poems, audio/video, listicles, etc. — inspired by and sourced from MCAM’s exhibitions records and art holdings. Select contributors will be given access to MCAM’s exhibition files and object storage facilities, as well as staff resources and designated space within the museum to conduct historical and critical research. In addition to publication, contributed content will be promoted in MCAM’s digital newsletter, distributed to over 2500 subscribers.
GLASS CUBE
Glass Cube, MCAM’s Medium blog, supports experimental writing and scholarly research centered around the museum’s exhibition archive (dating to the 1920s) and the museum’s collection of over 13,000 art objects. Contributors to Glass Cube reflect on the ideas and objects preserved within MCAM’s storage areas and vertical filing cabinets, shedding light on Bay Area art and culture through the prism of MCAM’s historical record.
