September 25 — 26, 2009Berlin: These photos show the very cool touch tables at the recent gallery exhibition in Berlin held at the Martin Gropius Bau. The collection featured 60 years of German art and these Flash interactives (In English and German) let patrons learn more about the art all around them.
Sixty influential artworks are on display in Berlin to celebrate Germany’s 60 years of statehood. The exhibition shows milestones of German post-war art - painting, sculpture, photography and installation – from 1949 until 2009.
Under the title ‘60 years, 60 works’, the exhibition features one piece of art for each year between the founding of the German state in 1949 and the present. Sixty short films accompanying the artwork give visitors an overview of important events in Germany from each year and elucidate the external influences that shaped the works.

Please add your ideas to this posting in comments. I am pretty sure that SND members have great ideas that can help the organization reconfigure to serve present and ongoing member needs. I am a member of SND and the group has been a vital force in shaping me and sharpening my visual journalism skills.
1) Look closely for a model to copy.
