David Thorp
I expect an art institution of the
21st century to be flexible,
forthright, democratic,
multicultural, contradictory and
adventurous. Splendid when it has
the money to be and heroic when
it does not. Star gazing, model
making and team playing with its
feet on the ground and its heart in
the right place. I expect it to love
artists, enjoy audiences, tolerate
smoking and stay open late.
