Curators
The Hall Curatorial Fellowship
The Hall Curatorial Fellowship program offers an exceptional opportunity to a visiting international curator to bring a global voice to The Aldrich’s exhibition program. Now in its fifth year, the Hall Fellowship is offered on a biennial basis to a curator who is not an American citizen and does not reside in the U.S.
Beginning in 2011, potential Fellows will no longer be determined by an open call, but rather by invitation only through a referral process. Every two years the curatorial staff of the Museum will identify a country or region that is of particular relevance to contemporary art discourse; they will contact noted arts professionals who are familiar with the selected country or region in order to gather nominations for the invitation process. From this resultant list of nominees, the Museum will select a small number to submit exhibition proposals. The Hall Curatorial Fellowship will be awarded to one of the nominees after thorough review by the Museum’s curatorial staff, with their proposed exhibition being subsequently presented at The Aldrich.
The Andrew J. and Christine Hall Foundation has generously endowed the Fellowship. Past Hall Curatorial Fellows include Thomas Trummer (2006) whose exhibition Voice & Void was presented in 2008, and Maxine Kopsa (2008) whose exhibition Paying a Visit to Mary was presented in 2010. The next Hall Curatorial Fellowship will be awarded in 2011, with its exhibition presented in the second half of 2012.
