Commentary: Risky Cleveland lakefront art project is dead. That's a good thing (opens the original)
Read excerpt
MSCHF will not be making mischief on the Downtown Cleveland lakefront. Destination Cleveland, the city’s convention and tourism agency, said late Wednesday in an email that a controversial lakefront public art proposal developed by MSCHF, a for-profit New York company that calls itself an art collective, is officially dead. “North Coast Waterfront Development Corporation, Destination Cleveland, and MSCHF have agreed that the proposed lakefront project will not be advanced,’’ Destination Clevelan
Review: Art Museum’s 'Lake Effect' show is a story of double standards (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The Cleveland Museum of Art is unquestionably one of America’s greatest art museums. But while it does an excellent job of surveying 6,000 years of human creativity, its commitment to art from Northeast Ohio has been spotty and at times half-hearted, especially over the past two decades.

And it drew big crowds, as visitors queued in a long line that snaked around the east end of the Cleveland Museum of Art’s atrium during its final days. You may not have heard as much about the museum’s other
Commentary: Cleveland considering a big, risky lakefront public art project. Why it's so troubling (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The city of Cleveland tapped the brakes last week on the rushed approval process for a highly risky public art project offered for the downtown lakefront by the New York for-profit company MSCHF, which calls itself an art collective. Hitting pause was a good move. It stopped the city from careening toward potential economic development and city-planning malpractice. Nevertheless, the project, offered by anonymous donors as a gift worth tens of millions of dollars, remains a live issue. Will it b
