Lauren Cornell is an American curator and writer based in New York. Cornell is the Director of the Graduate Program at the Center for Curatorial Studies, Bard College, and Chief Curator of the Hessel Museum of Art.[1] Previously, she worked at the New Museum for twelve years and was the Executive Director of their affiliate Rhizome (2005-2012).[2]
Biography
Cornell was born and raised in New York City. She started her career in the arts as the Executive Director of Ocularis, a now-closed cinema in Brooklyn, New York.[3]
She joined the New Museum in 2005, where she worked on the inaugural Generational show, Younger Than Jesus, and became the Executive Director of Rhizome, an organization that commissions, exhibits, and preserves art engaged with technology.[4][5] Cornell curated Free, her first major exhibition for the New Museum in October 2010. Before stepping down as director of Rhizome, Cornell promoted discussion around the decentralization of new media art on the internet. After seven years at Rhizome, she stepped down as its director to serve as a full-time curator at The New Museum in 2012. [6]
She stepped down from her role at Rhizome in July 2012 to curate the New Museum's third Generational Triennial, Surround Audience, in 2015.[7]
Cornell and Ed Halter co-edited the anthology Mass Effect: Art and the Internet in the Twenty-First Century (2016).[8]
She has contributed to publications including Aperture,[9] Art in America,[10] ArtReview, Frieze,[11][12] and Mousse,[13][14] and written on artists for monographic catalogues.
In 2016, Artsy named Cornell one of "The 20 Most Influential Young Curators in the United States."[15] In 2017, Cornell was the recipient of ArtTable's New Leadership Award.[16] In 2017, she was named an Apollo 40 under 40.[17]
Seven on Seven conference
In 2010, Cornell co-founded Rhizome's Seven on Seven conference with Fred Benenson, John Borthwick, and Peter Rojas. The conference bridges contemporary art and technology fields by pairing technological innovators with visual artists and challenging them to develop something over the course of a day.[18] Seven on Seven was inspired by Experiments in Art and Technology (E.A.T.), a project launched by Billy Klüver and Robert Rauschenberg in 1967, which organized collaborations between artists and engineers at Bell Labs.[19]
