Juror: Carol McCusker is an independent curator, writer and educator. For eight years, she was the Curator of Photography at the Museum of Photographic Arts (MoPA) in San Diego. She received her B.F.A. in studio art and art history at Massachusetts College of Art, Boston, graduating with distinction. She then received her M.A. and Ph.D. in art history with an emphasis on the history of photography and film at the University of New Mexico (UNM), Albuquerque. While there, McCusker received the Beaumont Newhall Award, the Dean’s Dissertation Fellowship Award, the Friends of Photography Prize, and a National Endowment for the Arts Internship Award.
McCusker is currently Adjunct Professor at the University of San Diego. She is also a member of the Advisory Committee for UCSD’s Arts, Humanities & Languages Extension; and is working on two publications, Shooting Stars: War Photographers in Hollywood, that examines the aesthetic and socio-political relationship between 1940s photojournalism and Realist/Neorealist cinema. And Boom! 1963-1983: Two Decades of Change in American Photography.
At MoPA, McCusker curated more than thirty-five exhibitions. These include American Noir: The Photographs of James Fee (2003), Andrea Modica: Treadwell/Fountain (2005), The Roads Most Traveled: Migration Photographs by Don Bartletti (2006), Rebels & Revelers: Experimental Decades 1970s-1980s and Public Privacy: Wendy Richmond’s Surreptitious Cellphone (both 2007). With MoPA’s director, Arthur Ollman and Michael Gray, director of Lacock Abbey (estate of William Henry Fox Talbot), she created the exhibition/catalogue, First Photographs: William Henry Fox Talbot and The Birth of Photography (2003). Her award-winning exhibition (and catalogue), Breaking the Frame: Pioneering Women in Photojournalism (2006), explored women working in the mass media before and during WWII.
McCusker has worked with publisher Manfred Heiting on Paul Outerbridge (Taschen 1999) and worked with the following artists on their respective books, James Fee: Peleliu Project (Seraphin, 2002), Phil Stern: A Life’s Work (powerHouse, 2003), Terry Falke: Observations in an Occupied Wilderness (Chronicle, 2006), and Mario Algaze: Portfolio (Di Puglia, 2010). Writing and curating from photography’s complete history, from the salt paper print to the cellphone video, defines McCusker’s enthusiasm for the medium’s range, relevancy, and endurance.
