Guest Cura­tor Jenny Moore, New Museum

The Cen­ter for Emerg­ing Visual Artists invites you to sub­mit images of your art­work for review by our guest cura­tor, Jenny Moore, Assis­tant Cura­tor at the New Museum. Of the appli­cants, 10 to 25 artists will be asked to present a dig­i­tal port­fo­lio of approx­i­mately 10 images. Two to four of those artists will be selected for an exhi­bi­tion in CFEVA’s Felic­ity R. “Bebe” Beno­liel Gallery this summer.

As an excit­ing new aspect of our Vis­it­ing Cura­tor pro­gram, this review process and result­ing exhi­bi­tion is a new way to show­case the abun­dance of tal­ented artists in the region to a cura­tor who is not yet famil­iar with our artist com­mu­nity. By expand­ing the pro­gram in this way, CFEVA is proud to cre­ate more expo­sure for the artists we serve and pro­vide ben­e­fi­cial new leads for note­wor­thy curators.

Jenny Moore is Assis­tant Cura­tor at the New Museum, where her first exhi­bi­tion Charles Atlas: Joints Array was pre­sented in 2011. In 2010, she was Assis­tant Cura­tor for “10,000 Lives,” the 8th Gwangju Bien­nale with Artis­tic Direc­tor Mas­si­m­il­iano Gioni. Moore was Project Cura­tor for The Andy Warhol Foun­da­tion for the Visual Arts, New York from 2005 to 2010 where she directed the Andy Warhol Pho­to­graphic Legacy Program.

The New Museum is the only museum in New York City exclu­sively devoted to con­tem­po­rary art. Founded in 1977, the New Museum was con­ceived as a cen­ter for exhi­bi­tions, infor­ma­tion and doc­u­men­ta­tion about liv­ing artists from around the world. From its begin­nings as a one-room office on Hud­son Street to the inau­gu­ra­tion of its first free­stand­ing, ded­i­cated build­ing on the Bow­ery designed by SANAA in 2007, the New Museum con­tin­ues to be a place of ongo­ing exper­i­men­ta­tion and a hub of new art and new ideas.
