If Liz Diller tweeted with Christopher Hawthorne
Hawthorne: @Lizzer, have you been surprised by the intensity of the critical reaction so far?
Diller: @HawthorneLAT Been hard. Maybe not as hard as the demise of the Slow House. But harder for us than for @TWBTA.
H: @Lizzer What about the notion that you have a conflict of interest here?
D: lol We passed the threshold of losing our identity -- we propose a different approach now. @HawthorneLAT
H: @Lizzer Would you protest, say, plans to knock down your ICA museum in Boston five or ten years from now?
D: @HawthorneLAT Irrelevant. Folk ='s idiosyncrasy.
H: @Lizzer, Wht abt idea that most successful or memorable museum buildings are deeply idiosyncratic? i.e. Stewart Gardner, Mario Ciampi BAM
D: @HawthorneLAT Those were great museums but moma now is more like a multiuse retail development that happens to have a worldclass collection.
H: @Lizzer would you have liked more time to work on this scheme b4 it went public this way?
D: @HawthorneLAT Look, at an eventual 30 or 40 bucks per person 4 moma, who cares? We r there to clean up.
