Actually that's the very news:
Britain's Tate Gallery director Nicholas Serota can become a consultant center of modern culture "Garage", initiated the establishment and whose director is Daria Zhukova.

According to The Daily Telegraph, the decision of Mr. Serota was not approved by the Board of the gallery and may violate regulations on paid and unpaid work for other organizations. According to the Administration Gallery, Tate has the consent of the Director that does not violate any rules. The representative of the PR-department of the Tate Gallery has confirmed to Kommersant that Mr. Serota had not received a formal invitation to become a member of the advisory group to the new center in Moscow. However, she said, he recently received an informal proposal. "A few months ago he was asked if he could advise the gallery, and he agreed in principle. In that case, if Nicholas Serota has received a formal invitation, he is adopted in practice, Tate, has requested permission to occupy this position," - she said .

According to some observers, which the newspaper quoted, Nicholas Serota should not advise the Moscow meeting, which could rival the Tate. They refer to the recent purchase of Roman Abramovich at the auctions of contemporary art. In their view, was appointed consultant of the Moscow Center for Contemporary Art, Nicholas Serota tries to get the location of Russian billionaire to get the financial support necessary for the construction of the extension to the Tate Modern. Nicholas Serota hopes to open this annex, construction of which is estimated at £ 215 million, for the Olympic Games in 2012. At this point for this project need to raise more than £ 100 million

Cool?

I should say volumes))) about Serota - a duality of interests is clearly apparent

I am over here, this phrase like about rival Tate. And why not? It will be good to see. However, as I understand, Garage is a little bit away from the main tourist streams ....

Explain who understand. As he gets 100 million? From that wage-whether the delay will be? And if so why pay him all the Tate?

This is the level of innuendo:), but the aim is to get the location of Russia's billionaires. Abramovich is not in his pocket he put the money, but will return to a good cause to build an extension. As result we find that, and Serota - a hero, an extension "struck" and Abramovich - the candidate for the knights of the British Empire. So everything is logical, decorous, noble.

Now about the question, "And if this salary is why he generally Tate?" If we continue the chain of free reasoning, people with 100 million dollars in the world much more than the directors of the Tate with a reputation:)
