The Southeastern Center for Contemporary Art has hired a new curator.
Steven Matijcio will begin work Aug. 1, having worked as curator at the Plug In Institute of Contemporary Art in Winnipeg, Manitoba.
Mark Leach, SECCA's director, said in a statement that Matijcio's "insight into international art practices will bring SECCA to the forefront of cutting-edge contemporary ideas and art-making on the global stage."
Matijcio replaces David Brown, who resigned in July of last year. Matijcio is the latest person to join the staff of SECCA since it became an operating entity of the North Carolina Museum of Art last December.
"This center has the history, vision, and staff to be a truly special place," Matijcio said in a statement. "I can't wait to be a part of its future."
Matijcio worked for three years at Plug In until May 10, said Anthony Kiendl, Plug In's director. Before that, Matijcio held positions at such institutions as the National Gallery of Canada and the Art Gallery of Ontario. He has organized projects across all media, taught at the University of Manitoba and written for several journals. He is researching the relationship between art and political activism.
Matijcio holds degrees from the University of Toronto and Bard College in New York.
