Biographies:
Gabriele Schor studied philosophy at the University in Vienna and at the University of California in San Diego. She worked at the Tate Gallery in London, was Art Correspondent for the Neue Zürcher Zeitung and taught art criticism in various Austrian universities. In 2004 Gabriele Schor was appointed as founding director of the international VERBUND COLLECTION in Vienna. She created an important focus on feminist art of the 1970s. Schor coined the term “Feminist Avant-Garde” and published various monographs on Birgit Jürgenssen, Renate Bertlmann, Francesca Woodman, ORLAN and Louise Lawler among others. Schor also worked with Cindy Sherman on the artist’s Catalogue Raisonné of her Early Works and published the compendium on the Feminist Avant-Garde.
Haden Guest is the director of the Harvard Film Archive, where he curates the HFA cinematheque and its motion pictures, manuscripts and photographic collections. He has curated film programs for the Viennale, the Oberhausen Film Festival and the Gulbenkian Foundation and Museum in Lisbon, where he organized the twelve-part Cinema Dialogues: Harvard at the Gulbenkian (2013-15). Guest also oversees the Harvard Film Archive’s preservation program which focuses on independent and avant-garde cinema, but also recently preserved the previously lost Robert Flaherty film A NIGHT OF STORYTELLING, rediscovered in 2013 in Harvard’s Houghton Library. As a Senior Lecturer in Harvard’s Department of Art, Film, and Visual Studies, Guest teaches courses on film history and archival practice. He holds a PhD in Film History from the University of California, Los Angeles. He is currently writing a critical history of Portuguese cinema after the 1974 Carnation Revolution. In 2015 Guest was awarded a Medal of Cultural Merit by the Secretary of Culture of Portugal, in recognition for his work curating and researching Portuguese cinema. He was a producer of Soon-Mi Yoo’s SONGS FROM THE NORTH, winner of major prizes including a Golden Leopard at the 2014 Locarno Film Festival, the DocLisboa Prize for Best First Feature and the Jury Prize at the Buenos Aires International Film Festival.
Marco Nocella is a lifelong gallerist and the Director of Sales at Ronald Feldman Gallery, which he joined in 1986. He is a trusted advisor to collectors, a colleague to museum curators and patrons, and has participated in the conception and implementation of hundreds of exhibitions. His personal association with artists such as Hannah Wilke and Ida Applebroog has informed and enhanced his perspective. He is an expert in the work of Mierle Laderman Ukeles, a pioneer of Social Practice, and is included in a new documentary film about her entitled Maintenance Artist. Nocella began working with Antin a decade after Ronald Feldman Gallery began representing Eleanor Antin in 1976. This was the beginning of a friendship and alliance lasting more than 30 years, culminating in seven solo exhibitions (adding to three previous ones) at the gallery and beyond. She often refers to him as ‘the brother I never had’.
