MUSEUM OF MOVING IMAGE ABBREVIATES
The American Museum of the Moving Image has announced that it is now, simply, Museum of the Moving Image. It had also introduced a new logo, meant to evoke the shape of an old-fashioned movie projector.
But the name isn’t the only change. On February 10 the museum will unveil plans for renovation of its building in Astoria, for which it has hired architect Thomas Leeser. Part of this expansion will include adding gadgets to the interior that allow images to move across walls and floors.

NOTES
The Brooklyn Academy of Music has cancelled “Three Classical Heroines,” which was scheduled to run from May 17 to 21, due to “events resulting from the dissolution of EOS orchestra,” it said in a release. EOS conductor Jonathan Sheffer was to have conducted the orchestra in four performances directed by Francesca Zambello, starring mezzo-soprano Michelle DeYoung, and featuring music by Haydn, Berlioz, and Britten. The orchestra shut down in December due to financial difficulties.
Neil Watson, executive director of the Delaware Center for the Contemporary Arts, has been named executive director of the Katonah Museum of Art in Katonah, N.Y.
