During this one hour session, Hrag Vartanian, Critic, Curator, Editor-in-chief & Co-founder of Hyperallergic will review as many works by Netvvrk members as possible, giving a maximum of 2 minutes review to each artist.

Hrag Vartanian

Hrag Vartanian (he/they) is an art critic, writer, curator, and lecturer on contemporary art with an expertise in the intersection of art and politics. He is also the co-founder and editor-in-chief of Hyperallergic, an independent art publication created in 2009 with his spouse, Veken Gueyikian.

Under Vartanian’s leadership, Hyperallergic has grown to reach millions of readers per year and is credited with revitalizing arts journalism over the last two decades as audiences moved online. He has helped foster a new generation of writers who reject art market-oriented coverage to focus on criticism and reporting that appeals to a broader cultural audience.

Vartanian is the host of the Hyperallergic podcast, which has released more than 100 episodes and featured prominent guests such as Audrey Flack, Thomas Lanigan-Schmidt, Lucy Lippard, Linda Nochlin, Michael Rakowitz, Shahzia Sikander, John Yau and artists at the 2016 Dakota Access Pipeline protests.

Throughout his career, Vartanian has forged a path of unconventional art writing that embraces ephemerality, speed, and new forms of criticism, all inspired by his own journaling practice and personal blog started in 2006.

During this one hour session, Dan Cameron, curator of contemporary art, will review as many works by Netvvrk members as possible, giving a maximum of 2 minutes review to each artist.

Dan Cameron

Dan Cameron is a curator of contemporary art who also writes about art, teaches & gives lectures about art, makes art, serves on art-related juries and boards, and advises both public and private collections. He has lived in downtown Manhattan since 1979, although for periods of time he has also been based in New Orleans, LA and Long Beach, CA. 
Throughout his 40-plus year career organizing exhibitions, Dan has steadfastly championed both the unexpected and the under-recognized. In 1982, he was the first American curator to organize a museum exhibition on LGBTQ art, and in 2008 he launched the Prospect New Orleans triennial in the wake of Hurricane Katrina. Along the way, he has curated international biennials in Istanbul, Taipei, Ecuador and Orange County, California, as well as retrospectives of such esteemed artists as Carolee Schneemann, Paul McCarthy, Peter Saul, William Kentridge, Faith Ringgold, David Wojnarowicz, Marcel Odenbach, Pierre et Gilles, Cildo Meireles, and Martin Wong. As part of the Getty Foundation’s Pacific Standard Time initiative in 2017, the Palm Springs Art Museum hosted Dan's exhibition Kinesthesia: Latin American Kinetic Art 1954-1969.
Dan’s core connection with art stems from its capacity to expand our collective awareness of ourselves, the world around us, and the way that humans invent ways to communicate essential values with one another. Not only is art capable of changing the world, he believes, but it’s actually doing just that on a daily basis. Whether in the cause of furthering social justice or challenging art history, or both, Dan believes that the artist’s fundamental obligation to civilization is to push sensorial and perceptual engagement into new & fruitful realms of engagement. The curator’s role in all this is to provide an appropriate platform and context for that expression, and to public a public forum for viewers to more fully immerse themselves in the experience, and for the artists & organizers to engage in critical dialogue about the art and its meaning.
