Richard is a great guy.
My god, why won't someone either A) disable graves' keyboard up or B) make her hide her long-winded, painfully self-aware writing under jump links.
i was shocked to see comments on a jen graves post -- i didn't think anyone ever read one of them!
Brevity is the heart of good writing--and the mother of strange bedfellows.
2 & 3: Fuck you trolls.
Jen Graves rules, and Richard Andrews deserves a significant farewell.
At least _someone_ is writing about art in Seatttle regularly 2&3. What are you doing to contribute?
I used to think that a periodic change in leadership (every 5, 10, 15 years depending on the institution's size) was a good, healthy thing. It allows for an infusion of new ideas and perspectives. In recent years, though, the leadership deficit in the arts (and nonprofit world) has forced me to reassess this thinking. It's so very difficult to find a good leader—one who can take risks AND keep an organization financially afloat. The role of museum director has become one of endless fundraising akin to the fundraising activities required of our congressional representatives to remain viable.
Richards Andrews has done a phenomenal job of keeping the Henry's exhibitions and programming fresh and vital. I have no idea how he's been able to do so, and I respect him tremendously. I hope he'll continue to lend his talents and vision to projects such as Art:21.
The Henry's board has their job cut out for them in finding Andrews' successor (just as the Walker's board does in replacing Kathy Halbreich—thanks Adam). Those executive recruiting firms are fighting tooth and nail to identify good candidates. I wish them luck. To Richard Andrews I give my heartfelt thanks for opening my eyes and mind to engaging and challenging art and ideas.
