Destiny G.
Arts Professional | Art Curation, Art Direction Focus, Arts & Culture
I'm a curator and arts writer with five years across leading galleries, museums, and communications agencies - most recently two years at White Cube New York, coordinating across a global program spanning major artists and estates including the Isamu Noguchi Estate, Richard Hunt Estate, Howardena Pindell, Julie Mehretu, Tunji Adeniyi-Jones and Sarah Morris. My independent practice sits at the intersection of sonic and visual culture. I curated photosculpture artist Lloyd Foster's solo exhibition Height and Soil at Long Gallery Harlem (reviewed in The Brooklyn Rail), worked as a research assistant at e-flux contributing to in-depth research identifying leading art institutions and spaces globally, and contributed research to Don't Touch My Hair at Hannah Traore Gallery (named in W Magazine among the most anticipated exhibitions of 2024). What I can do for you: - Curatorial & art writing — exhibition essays, artwork precis, artist biographies, wall text, catalogue copy. Critical, well-researched, and contextually precise. - Art research — artist and artwork research, archival and provenance research, exhibition and publication research, fact-checking, and citation tracking across museum databases, publication archives, and primary sources. - PR & communications — press releases, media outreach, and PR strategy. I began my career at SUTTON Communications securing coverage in major art publications, and grew a gallery's audience from 15k to 25k+ followers. - Exhibition & project coordination — managing timelines, production, presentation materials, and artist/studio liaison across concurrent projects. I move fluently between the gallery, museum, and editorial worlds, and I write the way institutions expect — clear, rigorous, and audience-aware. Whether you need a sharp exhibition essay, deep research on an artist or archive, or a press strategy that lands, I'd love to hear what you're working on.
