I don't understand why this is a debate? The opposition is based naively on an idealistic presupposition that the art world shouldn't and doesn't function as any other capitalistic economic model out there. Yes some artists could possibly prosper from Deitch taking the job but again who cares? Based on this news talking point why is there a discussion and debate about any ethical implications of Deitch's new job. I know it makes for good blog traffic but..... the whole debate sounds young. If people are annoyed by it don't go to the MOCA. Also stop buying cloths, driving cars, paying for gas, going to Starbucks, on and on and on. feels like an adbusters issue.
