Ryan Inouye, Danielle A. Jackson and Liz Park have been named the Kathe and Jim Patrinos Curators of the 59th Carnegie International, the longest running exhibition of international art in North America.
Organized every four years by Carnegie Museum of Art, the Carnegie International is the longest-running exhibition of international art in North America. The 59th edition will be the most collaborative and far-reaching to date—a clear expression of the museum’s founding commitment to the art and artists of our time, at once grounded in our locality and extending globally. It will engage artists and contributors from around the world, transforming the museum’s programs, partnerships, and operations in responsive and imaginative ways.
The Kathe and Jim Patrinos curators Ryan Inouye, Danielle A. Jackson, and Liz Park will approach curating the International as a shared endeavor, drawing on their heightened sensitivity for the potential meanings and relationships in the creation and experience of art today. They will center consequential commissions and new projects across mediums, while foregrounding dialogue and partnership as practices that are integral to the creation of large-format international exhibitions today.
Before joining Carnegie Museum of Art as the curator of international art, Ryan Inouye served as the associate curator of the previous edition of the Carnegie International, Is it morning for you yet? (2022) and was the senior curator at Sharjah Art Foundation (United Arab Emirates).
Danielle A. Jackson is the curator at New York’s Artists Space, where she mounted exhibitions of Milford Graves, rafa esparza and Las Nietas de Nonó, among others. Prior to that, she was a curatorial assistant in the Department of Media and Performance at the Museum of Modern Art.
Liz Park is the Richard Armstrong Curator of Contemporary Art at Carnegie Museum of Art and served as the associate curator of the 57th Carnegie International in 2018.
The 59th edition is set to run May 2, 2026, to January 3, 2027
