2007
December: I was one of five judges for the launch of GEISAI Miami, an artist-run art fair. (The name "GEISAI" is adapted from the Japanese word for "art festival.") It was founded in 2001 by the artist Takashi Murakami – lord of the multicolored Louis Vuitton logo – and is held twice a year in Tokyo. This is its first American incarnation. The fruits of our deliberations will be on view at PULSE Contemporary Art Fair in Miami, Dec. 5 – 9, 2007. Click here for more information.
November: I was interviewed by Celeste Headlee of NPR about the controversial reinstallation of the permanent collection at the Detroit Institute of Arts. The story aired on Day to Day on Nov. 27; to listen, click here.
August: My essay "Kunst und Geld in New York" ("Art and Money in New York") was included in the book "NYC: Das vermessene Paradies – Position zu New York" ("The Measured Paradise – Positions on New York"). It was published on the occasion of "New York," an exhibition, film and discussion series held in at Haus der Kulturen der Welt in Berlin, from Aug. 24, 2007 to Nov. 4, 2007.
May-June: I was one of seven arts journalists chosen from around the world to participate in the 2007 USC Annenberg/Getty Arts Journalism fellowship program. We were accompanied by an additional "senior fellow" – the journalist Kurt Andersen. Starting in late May, our group spent three action-packed weeks in Los Angeles, discussing the future of our profession, exploring new ideas, and immersing ourselves in the city's extensive cultural scene.
