What it’s like working at major big-name museums? Ask the eminent authority on contemporary visual culture – Nancy Spector! After 29 years at the Guggenheim, Nancy succedds Kevin Stayton in being the Deputy Director and Chief Curator at the Brooklyn Museum. Read about her never-typical working day, her co-existence motto, and more.
1. With the Jackson Pollock’s drip painting bought by her parents hung in the living room at a very young age, Nancy was exposed to abstraction since childhood!
2. Upon earning her master’s degree, Nancy interned at the Guggenheim which then fortuitous turned into a real job!
3. Coexistence is motto of the renowned curator!
4. With profound yet dedicated devotion to the art and radical innovation, Nancy has held an abundance of award-winning exhibitions including Louise Bourgeois, Marina Abramovic: Seven Easy Pieces, Felix Gonzalez-Torres, and more.
5. Nancy’s appointment is seen as a breakthrough move with Anne Pasternak rethinking the strategy of the museum that spearheads a trailbalzing future with deep-rooted measure of chutzpah. So, no more crowd-sourced exhibitions!
