Andrea Grover, the Parrish Art Museum’s Curator of Special Projects, has been selected by the Center for Curatorial Leadership as one of its nine 2013 Fellows.
Ms. Grover joined the Parrish staff in January 2011. Since coming on board at the museum, she has initiated new models for temporary and off-site exhibitions, including the museum’s Platform series and Parrish Road Show, and she has developed the new programs PechaKucha Night Hamptons and East End Stories on Screen.
Prior to joining the Parrish, Ms. Grover was the Founding Director of Houston’s Aurora Picture Show, a nonprofit cinema specializing in media art and the presentation of multidisciplinary performances and screenings. She was awarded a Warhol Curatorial Fellowship in 2010 to research artists working at the intersection of science and technology. The outcome of her fellowship is the 2011 publication “New Art/Science Affinities,” co-authored with Claire Evans, Régine Debatty, Pablo Garcia and the design collaborative Thumb, which profiles more than 60 contemporary artists working in maker culture, hacking, artistic research, citizen science and computational art.
Ms. Grover earned her MFA in visual art at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago in 1995 and was a Core Fellow in residence at The Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, from 1995 to 1997.
