In a controversial move, the Generalitat appointed new director Vicenç Altaió to pump up the lacklustre visitor numbers for this contemporary art space, Art Center Santa Monica. Altaió takes his position in January 2009 and has vowed to create 'a multidisciplinary centre for art, science, thought and communication', although detractors fear that the governmental hijacking of the management will mean diluted programming. After remodelling, the museum Art Center Santa Monica reopened in March 2009 with an exhibition titled 'Architecture Without Place'.
Other plans for the Art Center Santa Monica include reactivating Vilajoana's neon sculpture of the Cheshire Cat's grin across the façade and turning Drassanes metro station into a sister exhibition space.
