Nancy Perloff

Nancy Perloff is a Curator of Modern and Contemporary Collections at the Getty Research Institute. Trained as a musicologist and as an art historian, she pursues scholarship on Russian and European modernism and on avant-garde composers such as John Cage and David Tudor. Her expertise in visual poetry and its sonic phenomena culminated in her monograph, Concrete Poetry: A 21st-Century Anthology, published by Reaktion Books in 2022. Most recently, as part of the Getty festival PST ART: Art and Science Collide, she curated the exhibition Sensing the Future: Experiments in Art and Technology (E.A.T.). She edited the accompanying catalogue with Michelle Kuo. An expanded version of this show is now on view at LUMA Arles.
