Ned Cramer, the first full-time curator at the Chicago Architecture Foundation, is leaving the non-profit group known for its tours and other programs to become editor of a planned architecture magazine in Washington, the foundation says.In his nearly four-year tenure as curator, Cramer has brought many interesting exhibitions to the CAF, including the Big & Green show on sustainable architecture and the current one on public space.
(Thanks to Sally for the head's up!)
On a side note, it's annoying to see Blair Kamin ending his all-too-brief report linked above with the sentence, "He also was a vocal supporter of the Soldier Field renovation." Back in 2004, Kamin anticipated Soldier Field's loss of landmark status, a position he's been pushing for quite a while. As Lynn Becker points out, "Kamin...made the new Soldier Field his own Baby Richard, filling up column after column of derisive critiques even after all doubt that the project would be built had been removed."
So even after landmark status has been dropped, the issue isn't apparently dead for Kamin. It's almost like he must mention Soldier Field in every damn column that he writes, be it appropriate or not, in this case not.
