  • Descrição: A new international member of the Museum Plaza planning team arrived in Louisville on Monday welcomed by the art and business community. Chris Dercon, Director of the Haus der Kunst in Munich, Germany, is noted for his experience in transforming older museums into vibrant community centers of art. Dercon previously served as Director of Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen and of Witte de With Centre for Contemporary Art (both in Rotterdam, a port city in the Netherlands). Dercon also curated a wide-range of international programs during the 1990s and will divide his time commuting between Louisville and Munich. Additionally, Dercon worked as a freelance broadcaster, curator and critic in the early 1980s, and later as Program Director at the Institute of Contemporary Arts, PSI Museum and the Clocktower Gallery in New York. He also freelances as a director of art and culture documentaries. Designed by world-renowned architects Joshua Prince-Ramus and Erez Ella, Museum Plaza will be a work of art itself and serve as an international icon extending and connecting the arts and entertainment corridor in Louisville. Ramus and Ella are partners in the newly formed REX Architect group. Museum Plaza is the vision of Louisville residents Laura Lee Brown, Steve Wilson, Steve Poe and Craig Greenberg, who share a common passion for downtown revitalization. The planning of Museum Plaza began in 2006 and the construction will begin in summer 2007; it is expected to last through fall of 2010. During construction, the existing facades of 615-621 West Main Street will be re-furbished and transformed into retail space, and River Road will be expanded west to connect to 8th street.
