Tina Rivers Ryan Named Editor of Art Forum
In March, Artforum announced art historian, curator, and longtime contributor Tina Rivers Ryan as its new Editor in Chief. Ryan, known for her expertise in digital and video art, served as curator at the Buffalo AKG. Ryan closed the year and her time at the reopened Buffalo AKG with the fantastic Electric Op.
The move was a major step forward for digital art, as one of its biggest proponents now heads one of its most renowned publications.
