Meet the CGSD Fellows

Aniko Erdosi, CGSD Fellow, Spring-Fall 2005, is an independent gallery and museum curator, art historian and art critic from Budapest, Hungary and 2005 winner of the Hungarian State E ötvös Fellowship. In Hungary , Ms. Erdosi has mounted exhibitions at all of the major private and public venues showing contemporary art including, for example, the Trafo, Erika Deák, and MEO Galleries, as well as the Young Artists Studio Association and Metszespont. She has also curated numerous international exhibitions in Germany , Austria and France . Her critical work appears in newspapers, periodicals and art magazines, and in 2003 resulted in her receiving a Kállai Erno Fellowship for Art Criticism. Ms. Erdosi work in Hungary and in Central Europe more broadly focuses on how artists have observed, responded to, resisted, incorporated, and subverted the “marketization” and globalization that followed the opening to the West. At the Center she has worked on two specific projects. She has studied how nonprofit American galleries survive and nurture artists—an essential issue for the post-socialist art world of Eastern and Central Europe . Ms. Erdosi has also collaborated in the development of Art Without Borders and is curator of one of the launch exhibitions: AFTER – Art in a Transitional Society.
