ALDRICH CALLS FOR AN INTERNATIONAL CURATOR:
APPLICATIONS DUE FEBRUARY 15, 2008
The Aldrich Contemporary Art Museum
258 Main Street
Ridgefield, CT 06877
http://www.aldrichart.org



The Aldrich Contemporary Art Museum is pleased to announce a call for
entries for the Hall Curatorial Fellowship, an eighteen-month fellowship
for an international curator. Applications are due on Friday, February 15,
2008.

The Hall Fellow is responsible for curating an original exhibition in
keeping with The Aldrich's mission of leadership in the exhibition of
significant and challenging contemporary art with an emphasis on emerging
and mid-career artists. The Museum is located in Ridgefield, Connecticut,
50 miles outside New York City.

The Hall Fellow will be chosen by an independent jury of distinguished art
world professionals, including Carlos Basualdo of the Philadelphia Museum
of Art; Bonnie Clearwater of the Museum of Contemporary Art, North Miami;
and Sir Norman Rosenthal of the Royal Academy, London.

Voice & Void: 2006 Hall Curatorial Fellowship Exhibition curated by Thomas
Trummer--the first recipient of the Hall Curatorial Fellowship--is on view
at The Aldrich through February 24, 2008. Voice & Void has received
reviews in The New York Times and ARTnews.  As a result of the exposure
Trummer received through the Hall Curatorial Fellowship, he has been
selected to work on curatorial projects in Beijing, China; Kiev, Ukraine;
Belgrade, Serbia; and New York City. In October he became project manager
of the Siemens Art Program, Munich, in charge of worldwide activities in
the realm of visual arts.

The Fellow will work with The Aldrich's curatorial team to develop his/her
exhibition, oversee its installation, and collaborate with Museum staff to
develop programming and an exhibition catalogue. To be eligible for the
Hall Curatorial Fellowship, an applicant must be an art professional with
a focus on contemporary art, and a citizen of a country other than the
United States of America. The applicant must currently live and work in a
country other than the United States, be proficient in English, have prior
experience as a curator or co-curator of at least three professional
exhibitions of contemporary art, and be able to travel to the United
States.

The Hall Fellow will receive a stipend of 25,000 dollars over the
eighteen-month period of the Fellowship, from June 1, 2008, to December
31, 2009. The exhibition will be on view at The Aldrich from September
2009 through February 2010.

Applications for the Hall Curatorial Fellowship are due at The Aldrich
Contemporary Art Museum no later than February 15, 2008. Selected
applicants will be invited for interviews at The Aldrich during March and
April 2008. For full information and complete application materials,

the Hall Fellowship should be addressed to fellowship la aldrichart.org

The Aldrich Contemporary Art Museum is grateful for the generosity of the
Andrew J. and Christine C. Hall Foundation, which endowed the Hall
Curatorial Fellowship.

THE ALDRICH
The Aldrich Contemporary Art Museum is a non-collecting museum of
contemporary art located in Ridgefield Connecticut, USA. Founded in 1964,
today's Aldrich Museum serves as not only a viewing place for contemporary
art, but also a venue where art, education, and culture converge to expand
traditional ways of thinking. It is suggested that potential applicants
should first explore The Aldrich's Web site to gain a greater
understanding of the Museum, its mission, and its programs: 
http://www.aldrichart.org Regular Museum hours are Tuesday through Sunday,
12 noon to 5 pm.

OUR MISSION
It is the mission of The Aldrich Contemporary Art Museum to be a national
leader in the exhibition of significant and challenging contemporary art
with an emphasis on emerging and mid-career artists, a world-class
innovator of museum education programs, and a vital cultural resource for
our community.

THE PROGRAM
The Hall Curatorial Fellowship program is intended to offer an exceptional
opportunity to an international curator to gain curatorial experience in a
United States museum setting, and to support the professional development
of curators. In order to bring an international perspective to the
Museum’s curatorial practice, the Hall Fellow will be primarily
responsible for curating an original exhibition in keeping with the
Museum's mission, overseeing its installation at The Aldrich, and the
development of appropriate complementary cultural and educational
programs. The Hall Curatorial Fellowship program is NOT a residency
program.
