Jeremy Strick, at the old place
I look forward to working with a talented staff and committed board to
create a program that through its quality, scope, and ambition will
capture the attention of the world.
So says Jeremy Strick in the press release announcing the appointment of the formerly embattled director of LA MOCA to his fresh new gig as director of the marvelous but currently rudderless Nasher Sculpture Center, Dallas. Clearly the Nasher’s board wants the high profile and is not too worried about the finances.
Still, Strick does get a bit too self-congratulatory when he tells Michael Granberry of the Dallas Morning News:
This news will be welcomed around the country and around the world.
Granberry’s article is also worth reading for the details it gives about LA MOCA’s finances and Strick’s take on that situation. More on the story from Carol Vogel of the NY Times is here.
Sorry about my headline, by the way. I’ve been reading too much about the “Fast Fourier Program model” and “von Kármán spectral density.”
