Farewell to Kevin

(0)

After two great years with Rhizome, Kevin McGarry will be moving on as of August 15th. McGarry started out as Content Coordinator overseeing Net Art News and the Rhizome Digest; in this position, McGarry brought a host of new writers into the fold and kept both publications on the edge of events, projects and new media arts discourse. As ArtBase Coordinator, a position created for him in 2004, McGarry grew the ArtBase tremendously. He devoted considerable energy to seeking out projects and was also very active in his consideration of submissions. McGarry=B9s work with Rhizome also expanded beyond these two roles: his collaboration was instrumental in the design of our new membership policy, and his vision has underlined countless other projects, particularly our Guest-Curated Exhibitions program in which he worked very closely with the invited curators. His ideas, rigor and energy will be missed, but I=B9m certain his career will keep him close to the Rhizome community. It is with deep appreciation and gratitude that we wish him farewell.
