from Newsweek -
"I'm Not a Service Company"

Following on the last post, an interview with the man who made the Guggenheim brand (in)famous. And quoting a revealing passage from amongst the rambling and deluded answers:
"Will the Guggenheim make any efforts to include local arts and culture in the museums?"
"That's not my option. I'm not a service company. What we do at the Guggenheim has an objective to be one of top elite cultural institutions in the world. We set out a conscious global strategy."
And this is the reason why if Singapore is still keen to grow her own artistic talent base, then a Guggenheim museum must never be allowed to be built here at all cost.
