MA Curatorial Practice presents Michael Connor, co-executive director of Rhizome.

At Rhizome, Connor has overseen the Net Art Anthology initiative, an effort to retell the history of net art through 100 works, presented as an online exhibition, gallery exhibition and book. His first online curatorial project took place in 2003 at FACT, Liverpool, United Kingdom, where he organized an edition of the traveling exhibition “Kingdom of Piracy” with Shu Lea Cheang, Yukiko Shikata and Armin Medosch. He has curated exhibitions and projects at Yarat, Baku; Cornerhouse, Manchester; the Museum of Moving Image, New York; ACMI, Melbourne; Bell Lightbox, Toronto; FACT, Liverpool; MocaTV; and BFI, London. His writing has appeared in You Are Here: Art After the Internet (Cornerstone, 2014), Abstract Video: The Moving Image in Contemporary Art (UC Press, 2015), ArtAsiaPacific, and artforum.com. Connor is currently editing a book by Gene Youngblood about the work of Kit Galloway and Sherrie Rabinowitz.
