After two great years with Rhizome, Kevin McGarry will be moving on as of
August 15th. McGarry started out as Content Coordinator overseeing Net Art
News and the Rhizome Digest; in this position, McGarry brought a host of new
writers into the fold and kept both publications on the edge of events,
projects and new media arts discourse. As ArtBase Coordinator, a position
created for him in 2004, McGarry grew the ArtBase tremendously. He devoted
considerable energy to seeking out projects and was also very active in his
consideration of submissions. McGarry=B9s work with Rhizome also expanded
beyond these two roles: his collaboration was instrumental in the design of
our new membership policy, and his vision has underlined countless other
projects, particularly our Guest-Curated Exhibitions program in which he
worked very closely with the invited curators. His ideas, rigor and energy
will be missed, but I=B9m certain his career will keep him close to the
Rhizome community. It is with deep appreciation and gratitude that we wish
him farewell.
