Deitch’s New Project
MOCA’s big gamble
Guggenheim director Richard Armstrong doesn’t doubt that. Armstrong said by phone that Wiseman, who is just 34, will function as “a kind of connective tissue, not only between the staff and myself but between the various institutions — in Venice, Bilbao, Berlin and Abu Dhabi.” Armstrong, who was on the original artists’ committee to help organize MOCA back in the day, added, “From talking with Ari, I realized he could bring a different kind of perspective to our operation. He has a great reputation, I think he was responsible for much of MOCA’s success. It’s what you call a confluence of happiness.”
Despite all the questions, one can only hope the same for MOCA and Deitch. In the meantime, as For Your Art founder Bettina Korek said following the press conference, “It’s about the discussion, and the discussion has begun.”
