Andrianna Campbell

Andrianna Campbell-LaFleur is an American curator and art historian specializing in nineteenth and twentieth-century American art.

Early life and education

Campbell studied at the Rhode Island School of Design (RISD), where she received her BFA degree in printmaking in 2001.[1] While at RISD, the RISD Museum awarded her a Carnegie Fellowship. She then worked as the associate curator at Forbes, where she managed an international art collection.[2]

She is currently a doctorate student in the Department of Art History at the Graduate Center, CUNY with her research focused on the artist Norman Lewis and Abstract Expressionism.[3][4][5]

Career

Campbell has authored essays on contemporary art for Artforum, Art in America, and frieze. In 2016, she co-edited an edition of the International Review of African American Art dedicated to Norman Lewis. She is also a founding editor of apricota, a journal focused on art writing and history, alongside Joanna Fiduccia.[3][4]

Prior to the 2017 Women's March, Campbell collaborated with MoveOn.org to encourage artists to create graphics, signs, and slogans that would, according to Campbell, "promote positive change, not perpetuate the negative rhetoric coming from the President-elect."[6]

In October 2017, Campbell opened a pop-up shop named Anger Management inside of the Brooklyn Museum, with visual artist Marilyn Minter. The shop aimed to serve as an outlet of protest for more than 70 artists, of which Campbell and Minter recruited as vendors for the shop. Its proceeds would be distributed between Planned Parenthood, the American Civil Liberties Union, or a different charity of an artist's choice. Discussing the venture, Campbell commented that "circulating images, like those created by the Anger Management vendors, contributes to a feeling of solidarity".[7][8][9]
