brilliant scholar and teacher

I think it is important for a great university like Uni Wien, with its long and distinguished history within this singular city to have a critical program in contemporary art and art theory. At Columbia University we have taken many steps in this area. I can think of no one better than Noit Banai, herself a brilliant and original Columbia graduate, to help establish and to develop such a program in Vienna with its unique traditions and its continuing role in larger transformations in art and art institutions at work in the world today. She has already inspired done much there towards this aim
