As for helping to choose a new executive director: At the gala, Cohen introduced and spoke enthusiastically about the board’s pick: Andrea Grover, plucked from her job as curator at the Parrish Art Museum in nearby Water Mill. Grover has founded a nonprofit cinema in Houston, and documented the rise of hacker culture and computational art while on a fellowship at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh.
Grover, who starts on Sept. 1, cheekily told the gala crowd that she’s going to change nothing and everything, and has only one firm agenda item so far: picking out flooring to replace the carpets in the galleries.
