| OK, saying “dumb” and doing the college degree dig was unkind, but the gist is correct.
Running an arts organization requires deep and specific knowledge of art history and expertise in shepherding a non-profit group. It’s not controversial to say that starring in Benjamin Button provides you with none of that. Brad loves art. I love art, too! We should not be on the MOCA board. He should keep writing checks and show up for the fundraiser cocktails as an enticement to other donors. This is not controversial. The current trend of disregarding experts is aggravating to me. Having access to Web MD doesn’t make me a fucking doctor. Liking art doesn’t make you a curator. Come on, guys! |
