At the Joslyn Art Museum tonight, we experimented with the inaugural Conversational Chairs. This unique experience had twenty participants journey between ten conversation stations within the museum, stopping for around 8 minutes at the specified stations, where they encountered unusual environments, questions, and a fellow conversation travel partner…
The evening began and ended with a drink and snacks and had plenty of intimate conversation throughout. The conversation stations included the Witherspoon Performance Auditorium, the Fountain Court, the Library, the Founder’s Room, the cafe, a lobby outside a restroom, the corridor outside the Director’s Office and seating with works of art like Bierstadt’s Storm on the Matterhorn (here) and a Helen Frankenthaler.
This unusual cross between time limited conversation, movement, journeying through an unusual yet stunning museum space and a variety of conversation partners provoked an engaging, surprising and thought inspiring experience. I even discovered that the time from meeting to confessions was about 7 minutes 23 seconds…
Look for more Conversational Chairs events soon…
