Linda Pace Foundation snags Dia:Beacon director

Linda Pace Foundation announced that it has named Steven Evans, who currently serves as Dia:Beacon’s managing director, as its new executive director and curator. The foundation primarily manages the collection of Linda Pace, the late founder of Artpace San Antonio. It has been planning to build a David Adjaye-designed museum to house the collection, and also runs CHRISpark, commissions new works, and supports Artpace. Evans’ management could have a major impact on the San Antonio art community, especially if he is able to bring the museum project to completion.
Although Linda Pace Foundation and Artpace are separate entities, they are politically and financially intertwined, so the naming of a new director at Linda Pace Foundation could impact Artpace in a number of ways, although I wouldn’t expect the relationship between the two organizations to change in any fundamental way.
For those who aren’t familiar with it, Dia:Beacon is considered to be among the best collections of contemporary art in the world. It focusses on displaying large installations of major works by a relatively small number of artists, prioritizing depth over breadth.

person’s self-consciousness stunts spiritual growth. If a person would have no self-consciousness, he would be in perpetual motion. It has always been the dream of mankind to create a machine of perpetual motion. This is impossible in this world because of friction. Friction prevents perpetual motion of any machine. In the world of Emanation there is no friction, because there is no self-consciousness. Therefore, there is perpetual motion. The process is fast and continuous, like the speed of light. This is why the concept of light corresponds to the world of Emanation. Light has no mass, or self-consciousness. Therefore it is the relative state of infinity within creation.

Still too linear.

Who knows. Ask Witten; maybe Abbott told him.
Why aren’t we able to love each other equally? Why must there always be a poster boy (or poster girl)?

Museums with too few places to sit in exhibition galleries, or worse, none at all. I remember the Agnes Martin retrospective at the Whitney where there were no label texts to accompany the paintings, only a couple of quotes here and there on the walls. I can’t quote exactly but to paraphrase one said: Anyone who can sit on a rock in a field for a while will be able to appreciate my painting. The irony of course being that the museum provided not one place to sit in the exhibition. I like to get lost in looking at art and like to park my butt while doing it, but museums are more concerned with keeping people moving.

A human being is a part of the whole, called by us Universe, a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings as something separated from the rest-a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole nature in its beauty.
