ANDRIA HICKEY JOINS CLEVELAND’S MUSEUM OF CONTEMPORARY ART AS SENIOR CURATOR

The Museum of Contemporary Art Cleveland announced the appointments of Andria Hickey as senior curator and Will Brown as assistant curator, according to the Cleveland Plain-Dealer’s Steven Litt. As curator of New York’s Public Art Fund, Hickey has organized a number of shows by artists including Oscar Tuazon, Danh Vo, Katharina Grosse. She was formerly curator at Art in General. Brown, meanwhile, has been curatorial assistant for contemporary art at RISD’s museum, and publishes articles about contemporary art and artists.

“The idea of working in a place that is off center in terms of the New York spotlight means a great deal of opportunity to do risk-taking programs and really taking a position as an institution that has a lot of dexterity and history and connections to the community,” Hickey said of her appointment.
