Visual Art Crazier Museum News

Now the embattled Los Angeles MOCA is considering folding itself into LACMA, which would mean closing its doors and sending its collection and some selected staff over to the county museum on Wilshire.
Christopher Knight calls this idea "total armageddon." He has an open letter in today's LAT lacerating the MOCA board for making this mess and then refusing to clean it up:
And if what I've been hearing is true, I have just one question: Are you freakin' kidding me? What on Earth do you think you're doing?
The point he raises is central to the lives of nonprofits in this tough economy: Trustees, are you paying attention? Because THAT'S YOUR JOB.

They spent a ton of money to build the new museum some years back, and now they're going to close it? WTF?
The GAP guy wants to build his own contemporary art museum in SF's Presidio. Maybe he could adopt LA's MOCA.

Komisch! A friend of mine went to see Billy Elliott on Broadway a couple of nights ago and sat in front of Angela Landsbury, David Geffen and his boyfriend.
Good luck to LA MOCA.
