Art Movements: MoMA PS1 Reveals Greater New York Curators

"New York City, According to Curators To mark MoMA PS1's 50th anniversary, the sixth edition of the museum's quinquennial exhibition Greater New York will be curated entirely by in-house staff. Jody Graf and Elena Ketelsen González, associate curators; Kari Rittenbach, assistant curator; Sheldon Gooch, curatorial assistant; and Andrea Sánchez, curatorial coordinator, will organize the citywide survey with MoMA PS1 Director Connie Butler and Chief Curator Ruba Katrib. Because nothing says "happy birthday" like mandatory overtime! (Kidding, kidding.)"

"Sailing? Golfing? Making bad macaroni art with grandchildren? Probably not how Glenn D. Lowry, who recently stepped down as director of the Museum of Modern Art after three decades, will be spending his golden years.

"Over a month since the Palm Springs Art Museum announced former chief curator Christine Vendredi as its new director, three trustees have stepped down from their posts, reports Christopher Knight for the Los Angeles Times. It's the latest shakeup at the California museum, which has seen four directors in a span of seven years. After 50 years in the business, Rena Bransten Gallery will close its physical space on Minnesota Street in favor of a nomadic model, reports the San Francisco Chronicle. The news comes just weeks after Altman Siegel, another SF stalwart, announced its shuttering, similarly citing industry challenges."
