THE WHITNEY ANNOUNCES TWO NEW CURATORIAL APPOINTMENTS
The Whitney Museum of American Art has announced the appointment of Scott Rothkopf as Curator, effective December 1, 2009, and the promotion of Dana Miller to Curator, Permanent Collection. “These appointments occur as we gear up for our downtown expansion, a time of decisive and transformative growth for the institution,” said Adam D. Weinberg, the Whitney’s Alice Pratt Brown Director.
Rothkopf comes to the Whitney from Artforum, where he has been Senior Editor since January 2004. During his time at the magazine he has been intimately involved in planning its editorial direction and has worked closely with many distinguished writers and artists on essays, projects, and special issues. He was a guest curator at Harvard University’s Fogg Art Museum, where he organized Mel Bochner Photographs 1966-1969 (2002), and co-curated, with Linda Norden, Pierre Huyghe’s This Is Not a Time for Dreaming (2004). Rothkopf was a contributing curator of the 2007 Lyon Biennial, for which he selected and installed the work of Wade Guyton.
As the Whitney’s Associate Curator, Permanent Collection, for the past seven years, Dana Miller has concentrated primarily on the Museum’s collection, working with her colleagues on acquisitions, loans, and conservation projects, as well as curating exhibitions drawn from the collection. During this time, she also organized Buckminster Fuller: Starting with the Universe, co-curated with Michael Hays, and is currently in the planning stages of a retrospective of the artist Jay DeFeo for the Whitney.
