The Office for Contemporary Art Norway runs an International Visitor Programme to support international curators and cultural producers in their research in Norway for upcoming exhibitions and projects. Participation in the programme is by invitation although requests for visits are considered based on availability when addressed to OCA.
Ruba Katrib is the Curator at the SculptureCenter in Long Island City, New York. Previously Katrib was the Associate Curator at the Museum of Contemporary Art (MOCA), North Miami. There she organised the first comprehensive solo museum exhibitions of Cory Arcangel (2010) and Claire Fontaine (2010), and several acclaimed group exhibitions including The Possibility of an Island (2008), Convention (2009), The Reach of Realism (2009), and Modify, as needed (2011). She initiated performance and workshop programs at MOCA and organised the three-day New Methods symposium, which focused on independent artist initiatives throughout Latin America. A follow-up book project is forthcoming. Katrib has contributed texts to a number of publications and written for periodicals such at Artforum, ArtPapers, and Mousse Magazine. Katrib is co-organising an in-depth conference about curatorial practice today, scheduled for the summer of 2012 on the occasion of 20th anniversary of the Center for Curatorial Studies at Bard College.
