Why come from SFMOMA, which is known for its architecture and design department, to the Art Institute?
SFMOMA’s architecture and design department is one of the few in the country, and also one of the strongest. But I’ve been given the opportunity to take a regional architecture department and expand it to include international architecture and design, as well as to hire a new design curator and an associate architecture curator. It’s a rare opportunity that was difficult to say no to.
