Maryland Art Place
(MAP) is seeking
artists working in a diverse range of media for a Regional Juried Exhibition,
opening September 19, 2013. The exhibition is intended to explore the
contemporary, cultural climate of Maryland, Delaware and Pennsylvania.
Submissions will initially be vetted by MAP’s Program Advisory Committee and juried by Kristen Hileman.
My good friend Kristen Hileman is the Curator of Contemporary Art and Department Head at
the Baltimore Museum of Art. Hileman organized Seeing Now: Photography Since 1960 (2011) and Anne Truitt: Perception and Reflection (2009-10), the first full career museum
retrospective of that artist’s work. Hileman oversaw a full
reinstallation of the BMA’s contemporary collection in November 2012 for the
museum’s newly renovated wing for contemporary art. At the time of the
re-opening, the contemporary wing featured a major site-specific commission
created by Sarah Oppenheimer and an exhibition of Zwelethu Mthethwa’s
photography.
Prior to coming to Baltimore, Hileman was the Associate
Curator of Contemporary Art at the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden in
Washington, D.C. She was also adjunct faculty at George Washington
University and the Corcoran College of Art and Design. Before her
appointment at the Hirshhorn, she was the curator of the Arlington Arts Center,
where she organized exhibitions of work by artists from the Mid-Atlantic
region. Hileman received her M.A. in Art History from the University of
Maryland, College Park (2001) and her B.A. in International Studies from
American University, summa cum laude and Phi Beta Kappa (1995).
