Den tyske kurator Klaus Biesenbach, der de seneste godt 20 år har arbejdet med New York som udgangspunkt, flytter vestpå. Biesenbach tiltræder stillingen som direktør for MOCA - Museum of Contemporary Art - i Los Angeles.

Artnet skriver om udnævnelsen af Biesenbach:


"Klaus Biesenbach, the director of MoMA PS1 in Queens and chief curator at large at the Museum of Modern Art, has been a mainstay of the New York art scene since he started at PS1 back in 1995. Now, he is setting his sights firmly on the West Coast. Today, the Museum of Contemporary Art (MOCA), Los Angeles, named the German-born curator as its new director.

MoMA’s director Glenn Lowry told the New York Times that Biesenbach “was an obvious candidate for MOCA.” In fact, the New York museum is losing two major contemporary curators at the same time. Shortly before Biesenbach’s appointment was announced, the Times reported that his colleague, MoMA’s painting and sculpture curator Laura Hoptman, had been tapped to direct the Drawing Center in SoHo."
