The Mary and Leigh Block Museum of Art at Northwestern University has announced that Michelle Puetz has been hired as the Pick-Laudati curator of media arts, according to the Chicago Tribune. Puetz is currently Andrew W. Mellon postdoctoral curatorial fellow at the Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago, where she curated the recent exhibition, “Body Doubles,” as well as a show of new work by artist Lilli Carré. She was previously director of programming and archivist for the nonprofit Chicago Film Archives.

“I am excited to develop time-based media programs and exhibitions that are global in scope, expansive in their embrace of genre, history, and style, and push the boundaries and possibilities of the museum,” Puetz said.
