About

Erin Dziedzic is a New York–based curator and writer whose work centers on developing dynamic projects with contemporary artists through exhibitions, commissions, archiving, legacy planning, and scholarship. Her practice is deeply committed to amplifying historically excluded voices, with a particular focus on advancing the visibility of women artists globally. 

Dziedzic previously served for over a decade as Director of Curatorial Affairs at the Kemper Museum of Contemporary Art in Kansas City, Missouri, where she organized major exhibitions, artist commissions, and public programs while cultivating partnerships that expanded the museum’s impact. Earlier in her career, she was Curator at the Savannah College of Art and Design, where she also founded artcore journal, an online platform for contemporary art criticism. 

She has collaborated with a wide range of contemporary artists, including Polly Apfelbaum, Firelei Báez, Virginia Jaramillo, Rashid Johnson, Aliza Nisenbaum, and Rafael Lozano-Hemmer. Her publications reflect a sustained engagement with new scholarship in contemporary art: she authored Virginia Jaramillo: Principle of Equivalence (2023) and a monograph on Denzil Forrester (2024), and co-edited the landmark catalogue Magnetic Fields: Expanding American Abstraction, 1960s to Today (2017). Her essays have appeared in catalogues and journals published by Duke University Press, Zidoun-Bossuyt Gallery, and Kemper Museum of Contemporary Art, as well as in ART PAPERS, The Brooklyn Rail, and Artsy. 

Dziedzic is frequently invited as a critic, lecturer, and guest speaker at institutions across the U.S., and serves on the boards of the Kansas City Artists Coalition, the Athens Cultural Center, and the Thomas Cole National Historic Site. She holds an MA in art history from the Savannah College of Art and Design and a BA from the University of Massachusetts–Dartmouth.
