## Re: Steve Dietz Out at Walker Art Center

This is a real loss for the Walker and for the field. Steve did terrific
work. Interesting to note that Jon Ippolito (Guggenheim) and Benjamin Weil
(SFMOMA) have both transitioned from full-time to part-time in the past
year or so. Taken together, these three changes represent a major reduction
in the commitment of American museums to new media art. I may be forgetting
someone, but I think no American museum now has a full-time new media art
curator. This comes as no surprise--during tough economic times,
institutions focus on their core activities. It will be interesting to see
what happens as the economy recovers.
