Can anyone say conflict of interest?
^Above is Jeffrey Deitch having a quiet moment to himself in front of the 'Street Market' installation done by Barry McGee (Twist), Steve Powers (Espo), and Todd James (Reas). The same exhibit was done before years ago in Deitch's former gallery, Deitch Projects. As the exhibit so aptly points out, 'No Dude. Its Not Allright.'
MOCA is a spectacular exhibition. Still, lots of questions have been posed about the roster of artists that were chosen for MOCA's 'Art In The Streets'. Questions both how it was done, and who was left out of the show.
Well, this is a teaser, but tomorrow MELROSEandFAIRFAX will have an exclusive article that raises some serious concerns about major conflict of interest issues concerning Jeffrey Deitch and his role as Director of MOCA, and Deitch's relationships with artists and colleagues from his former gallery career.
Stay tuned tomorrow for more.
UPDATE: The story has been bumped back to Tues or Weds. Stay tuned!
That's called PAY 2 PLAY.
