PITTSBURGH, PA (AAPJ) – Sohrab Mohebbi was chosen as the Kathe and Jim Patrinos Curator of the 58th Carnegie International, the longest-running survey of contemporary art in North America. The International opens in 2022 and has been the museum’s signature exhibition since its establishment in 1896.
“It is exciting to shape the next International and be a part of a tremendous exhibition history and discourse that in each edition edition had to confront, redefine, and question how art breaks away from arbitrary definitions, boundaries, and borders,” Mohebbi said.
Mohebbi is a curator, art critic and writer comes from New York where he most recently served as curator at SculptureCenter. He previously worked at REDCAT and Hammer Museum in Los Angeles and the Queens Museum in New York. Mohebbi’s research focuses on how art can unframe prescribed ways of inhabiting and perceiving the world.
“I am thrilled to welcome Sohrab to Carnegie Museum of Art and to support his vision for the 58th Carnegie International,” said Eric Crosby, the Henry J. Heinz II Director of Carnegie Museum of Art (CMOA). “I have deep admiration for his curatorial work, which consistently foregrounds artists who are uniquely equipped to guide us in navigating the complexities of contemporary life. As a curator, he is committed to examining immediate, local concerns in a broader picture of the world today. I have no doubt he will lead our museum in creating an International that is more collaborative, interdisciplinary, and socially engaged than ever before.”
