Published: September 12, 2007
WASHINGTON, D.C.— Olga Viso, director of the Smithsonian’s Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture, will leave the museum in January to become director of the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis, reports the Washington Post.
Viso has been at the Hirshhorn for 12 years, first as a curator, then as deputy director under Ned Rifkin. She was promoted to director two years ago. Viso, who increased visibility of cutting-edge contemporary work during her tenure, particularly video and performance art, said she found the opportunity at the Walker, which offers programming in both fine and performing art, particularly attractive. |
