Johanna Burton (Ph.D. '02)
Congratulations to Performance Studies alum Johanna Burton (MPhil '02), who has been appointed the new director of the Wexner Center for the Arts!
From the New York Times:
"The Wexner Center, which will be celebrating its 30th anniversary next year, includes 13,000 square feet of gallery space; a black-box theater that accommodates 150 to 500; a film and video theater that seats about 300; and the Mershon Center stage, which seats 2,500 for dance, music, theater, multimedia productions and lectures. It was conceived from the beginning as a place devoted to the most advanced ideas in contemporary art.
It also advocates artist experimentation, by those both well-established and newly emerging — and that is something Ms. Burton aims to preserve and expand upon."
