Blockbusters, IP, and risk
from ACMI Stories & Ideas Hosted by ACMI
Russell Briggs, Director of Exhibitions & Collections ACMI As the source material for big pop-culture exhibitions begins to be locked up more and more by people who claim ownership of the IP, it becomes increasingly difficult to find fertile areas of exploration that could be transformed into large-scale shows with universal appeal for international touring. For cultural institutions that want to exhibit on a large scale and/or tour, the need to push the boundaries of risk-taking has now become essential. This presentation looks at recent big touring shows, including ones created and being currently developed at ACMI, to see how risk was addressed and what it means for institutions who are thinking of either taking big shows or developing their own.
