Princeton University Art Museum has named Alexandra Foradas as Haskell Curator of Modern and Contemporary Art, and Arts Consulting Group (ACG) extends its congratulations on her leadership appointment. She began her tenure on March 10, 2025.
With a collecting history that extends back to 1755, the Princeton University Art Museum is one of the leading university art museums in the country, featuring collections that have grown to include more than 117,000 works of art ranging from ancient to contemporary art and spanning the globe. Committed to advancing Princeton’s teaching and research missions, the Museum also serves as a gateway to the University for visitors from around the world.
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.
Foradas joined MASS MoCA in 2015, ahead of the opening of its Robert W. Wilson Building (B6). During her time there, she curated eighteen temporary exhibitions, including commissioning new work from more than thirty artists. In recent years, she has curated and cocurated exhibitions by artists including Osman Khan (Road to Hybridabad, 2024), Jason Moran (Black Stars: Writing in the Dark, 2022), EJ Hill (Brake Run Helix, 2022), Lady Pink (2022), and Annie Lennox (‘Now I Let You Go. . .’, 2019, cocurated with Joseph Thompson), among others. Foradas has taught at the Rhode Island School of Design and Hunter College and frequently serves as a guest lecturer or visiting critic at institutions such as the University of Michigan, Temple University, the Wassaic Project, the Elizabeth Murray Artist Residency, and the Williams College Museum of Art. She holds an MA from Williams College and a BA from Bowdoin College.
