Biography

Cornell was born and raised in New York City.

In 2005, she became the executive director of Rhizome, an organization that commissions, exhibits, and preserves art engaged with technology.[3] [4] In 2007, she became adjunct curator at the New Museum where she organized and co-organized exhibitions and public programs, including the inaugural New Museum Triennial and Free, an exhibition for the New Museum in October 2010, among other shows. In 2010, Cornell co-founded Rhizome's Seven on Seven conference with Fred Benenson, John Borthwick, and Peter Rojas. The conference bridges contemporary art and technology fields by pairing technological innovators with visual artists and challenging them to develop something over the course of a day.[5] Seven on Seven was inspired by Experiments in Art and Technology (E.A.T.), a project launched by Billy Klüver and Robert Rauschenberg in 1967, which organized collaborations between artists and engineers at Bell Labs.[6] In 2016, Cornell and Ed Halter co-edited the anthology Mass Effect: Art and the Internet in the Twenty-First Century (2016).[7]

She stepped down from her role at Rhizome in July 2012 to curate the New Museum's third Triennial, Surround Audience, in 2015, co-organized with the artist Ryan Trecartin.[8]

At the Center for Curatorial Studies, she oversees the Graduate Program in Curatorial Studies and has curated monographic exhibitions of Sky Hopinka,[9] Martine Syms,[10] Nil Yalter[11] (coorganized with Museum Ludwig, Cologne), Dara Birnbaum (her first US retrospective),[12] Daniel Steegmann Mangrane,[13] Liliana Porter,[14] Erika Verzutti,[15] and Leidy Churchman.[16]

In 2019, she cocurated Phantom Plane: Cyberpunk in the Year of the Future with Xue Tan, Dawn Chan, Jeppe Ugelvig and Tobias Berger at Tai Kwun Contemporary in Hong Kong.[17]

She has contributed to publications including Aperture,[18] Art in America,[19] ArtReview, Frieze,[20] [21] and Mousse,[22] [23] and written on artists for monographic catalogues.

In 2016, Artsy named Cornell one of "The 20 Most Influential Young Curators in the United States."[24] In 2017, Cornell was the recipient of ArtTable's New Leadership Award.[25] In 2017, she was named an Apollo 40 under 40.[26]
