Who Needs a White Cube These Days?

Reading this article made me realize that it is OK to run a space that does not necessarly look or run like a main-stream gallery.
Gallery's are always constantly changing--they act like fluid forms. If gallery's are always changing, than why should an artist be stuck showing in a white cube? If artists were only allowed to show in a white cube - it would limit they're creativity.
"Galleries are now trying to brake their ascent to establishment status by interrupting the flow of monthly shows and finished objects, substituting a month long presentation of short exhibitions and even shorter performances."
There are traditional spaces and alternative spaces, and the fluidity of the white cube falls under the word: transparency.
"Modes of Attention" and rhetoric displays" are slowly being tossed out out the average white cube space.

A New Boss, and a Jolt of Real-World Expertise

Many people in the art world where shocked when they found out the news that Jeffery Deitch, a New York art dealer became the director of the Museum of Contemporary Art in Los Angeles, California.
Deitch is a prominent business man who received his MBA in business at Harvard.
He has a fascination with esoteric art. Some people in the art world think is taste in art is ridiculous and some people praise his taste of art.
The reason why some people are shocked that Deitch is the new director of the Museum of Contemporary art because it is unusual that a art dealer becomes director of a Museum.
I am in favor of Deitch accepting the role of art director, because he is a business man and the museum was in a financial crisis and they needed someone who is was more of a business man then an art director.

Anti-Mainstream Museum’s Mainstream Show

Skin Fruit was not a show good for the the New Museums exhibition.
Seeing the show up close did not make mends with the art world.
The show featured significant talets such as Mike Kelley and Cindy Sherman.
The show experienced negative criticism from the beginning.
The New Musuem's motto was about being Anti-Mainstream but it the New Museums exhibtion was very mainstream.
The exhibtion was poorly curated .
