Alexandra Foradas has been named the Haskell Curator of Modern and Contemporary Art at the Princeton University Art Museum, where she will lead the Museum’s program in global modern and contemporary art.
Foradas joins the Museum from MASS MoCA, where she specialized in modern and contemporary art with a particular interest in the intersections of visual art and performance. She will begin her new position in Princeton on March 10, 2025.
Foradas arrives in Princeton as the Museum prepares to open a bold new building in the fall of 2025, an ambitious project that will double the space for the exhibition, conservation, study, and interpretation of its globe-spanning collections, encompassing more than 117,000 works of art. As the new Haskell Curator, Foradas will work with Museum Director James Steward, Chief Curator Juliana Ochs Dweck, and a team of fifteen curators to activate the Museum’s collections in postwar art. She joins a collaborative curatorial team charged with originating exhibitions, strategizing acquisitions, and advancing research to engage the University community and Museum visitors alike. Foradas will also play an integral academic role on Princeton’s campus, supporting research and learning at the graduate and undergraduate levels.
