It seems the key concept we are expected to apply in evaluating cultural projects is not IDEA but DEIA. My take on that trend, in evaluating @NEHgov's recent grants: bit.ly/3oEF0lk. Now @EdRothstein chimes in @WSJ, reviewing new @AcademyMuseum: wsj.com/articles/academy-mus…

Marvelous @EdRothstein review of The Louvre: "Feasance & malfeasance combined haphazardly over the centuries. Yet the Louvre, like a Darwinian creature, attains an imposing stature & sensuous character through this combination of accident & need."
