Juror - Howard N. Fox

Fox was Curator of Contemporary Art at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) from 1985 through 2008, where he organized numerous major exhibitions and authored their catalogues, including Avant-Garde in the Eighties (1987), A Primal Spirit: Ten Contemporary Japanese Sculptors (1990), Lari Pittman (1996), and Eleanor Antin (1999). Often focusing on issues of content and meaning in contemporary art, Fox has published widely, and authored a principal essay for the catalogue accompanying the 2006 exhibition Los Angeles 1955-1985: Birth of an Art Capital, organized by the Centre Georges Pompidou, Paris. From 2000 to 2004 Fox was on the faculty of the Southern California Institute of Architecture (SCI-Arc) where he taught courses in modern and contemporary art history.
