And this year he is the guest artistic director of the London International Festival of Theater. “David is an extraordinary combination of a very savvy, high-quality commercial producer and somebody who is passionate about boundary-breaking art,” said Oskar Eustis, the artistic director of the Public Theater and a longtime friend. Next year it is planning to open two new venues: the BAM Karen, with two cinemas, and the BAM Strong, with an art gallery. Mr. Binder said the organizations “can all live together beautifully.”“They all have different missions, different kinds of buildings and are in different parts of the city,” he said. “I hope to introduce many new artists to BAM, and I’m looking forward to continuing to expand the diversity of the audience.”
