Steven Holl responds to Trump’s recent announcement of the Kennedy Center closure in an article for Fast Company magazine, and in a radio interview for the CBC program “As it Happens.”
“The REACH expansion of the Kennedy Center, which opened in 2019 under the direction of Deborah Rutter and David Rubenstein, is a much loved and needed facility for the practice of artists in all cultural activities. We hope they will allow it to remain open if they are closing the main building. As a living memorial to John F. Kennedy, the Kennedy Center was the soul of culture in Washington, D.C. … its manipulation today is absurd.” – Steven Holl
