MOCA Director Johanna Burton
I Go Back to Roland Barthes’ Work When I Need Recalibration
Johanna Burton is an art historian, critic, curator, and the Maurice Marciano Director of The Museum of Contemporary Art (MOCA). Before taking part in the Zócalo, Thomas Mann House, and L.A. Review of Books program “How Should Arts Institutions Navigate the Culture Wars?”—part of the two-day conference “Arts in Times of Crises”—Burton joined us in the green room to talk about barrel racing, growing up in Nevada, and what makes a good museum object label.
