Jamilee Lacy, curator and director of Providence College Galleries, was awarded a Fall 2020 Curatorial Research Fellowship by the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts. The program and its attendant $50,000 grant aims to encourage curatorial research leading to new scholarship in the field of contemporary art. Lacy’s research will explore the notion that the East Asian tradition of Shanshui (Chinese terminology) or Sansui (Japanese terminology) is a global contemporary art genre. As part of her fellowship, Lacy will enlist the help of cultural critics Bing Huang and Meruro Washida to develop specially commissioned public artworks and/or online projects. Her work will result in Digital Rivers, Burning Mountains, an exhibition and public art program slated to open September, 2023.
