　　2008年3月5日尤倫斯當(dāng)代藝術(shù)中心榮幸地邀請到美國麻省當(dāng)代藝術(shù)館創(chuàng)始人和館長（MASS MoCA）約瑟夫?湯普森（Joseph Thompson）為中國公眾介紹該館從創(chuàng)立到現(xiàn)在的傳奇歷程。

　　約瑟夫?湯普森1981年畢業(yè)于威廉姆斯學(xué)院，后獲賓州大學(xué)藝術(shù)史碩士和沃頓商學(xué)院工商管理碩士。他領(lǐng)導(dǎo)下的團(tuán)隊將一個占地13英畝的歷史磨坊建筑改造成了一個集合視覺、表演和媒介藝術(shù)于一體的藝術(shù)中心，并成功獲得了7500萬美元的公共和私人基金的資助。包括中國藝術(shù)家蔡國強(qiáng)和黃永砅在內(nèi)的超過200名藝術(shù)家曾在該館展出作品，超過500項藝術(shù)表演活動曾在此舉行，其中誕生了80件現(xiàn)場制作的視覺藝術(shù)作品和60出新創(chuàng)作的戲劇、舞蹈和音樂作品。在約瑟夫的領(lǐng)導(dǎo)下，MASS MoCA成為了該州西部地區(qū)經(jīng)濟(jì)復(fù)蘇的催化劑，為麻省新增了600個工作崗位和每年2100萬美元的收入。他參與創(chuàng)建了“創(chuàng)意社區(qū)發(fā)展中心”，這個中心由福特基金會和威廉姆斯學(xué)院共同資助創(chuàng)立，側(cè)重研究藝術(shù)和教育的社會影響。

　　約瑟夫曾獲得威廉姆斯學(xué)院200周年杰出校友獎?wù)拢槭∥膶W(xué)院榮譽(yù)博士，州長領(lǐng)袖獎，以及麻省文化部最高榮譽(yù)：聯(lián)邦獎?wù)隆Ｋ锹槭±砉ご髮W(xué)長期校園規(guī)劃校長顧問團(tuán)的顧問。MASS MoCA在他的領(lǐng)導(dǎo)下曾獲得美國建筑師學(xué)會的榮譽(yù)建筑獎；全國文物保護(hù)信托基金會的國家文化保護(hù)獎和美國旅游作家協(xié)會的歷史保護(hù)“鳳凰獎”。
