For over two decades Carey Lovelace has written for a range of publications including Artforum, Art in America, Flash Art, Ms., the International Herald Tribune, and The New York Times, often focusing on the topic of women’s art and the political aspects of Feminist Art. For The Drawing Center in New York she is currently co-curating Iannis Xenakis: Composer, Architect, Visionary, which will be on view January to April, 2010, before traveling to the Center for Contemporary Architecture in Montreal and to the Los Angeles Museum of Contemporary Art. The exhibition includes the graphic scores, architectural work, and visionary urban planning of the pioneering avant-garde composer (1922-2001); each installment will be accompanied by a citywide festival of related concerts and events.
In 2008, she guest-curated Making It Together: Women's Collaborative Art + Community at the Bronx Museum of the Arts, and she co-curated The History Show retrospective at the legendary A.I.R. Gallery. She has written catalogue essays for the Grey Art Gallery, The Drawing Center, and Art in General, among many other venues.
From 2003 to 2006, Carey Lovelace was co-president of the U.S. chapter of the International Association of Art Critics (AICA/USA), whose 435 members form the nation's leading association of cultural writers. With AICA/USA, she organized the historic May 2005 National Critics Conference in Los Angeles that for the first time brought together theatre, dance, music, and art writers. She also co-organized, at the Guggenheim Museum, an acclaimed all-day symposium on Christo and Jeanne-Claude’s Gates project, as well as the panel Doublethink and Doublespeak: The Art and Politics of Language at the New York Public Library. She co-hosted The Yay/Nay Show, an arts-and-culture program on WPS1, for which she and Linda Yablonsky won a 2006 AICA Award for Best Presentation of Art in a Broadcast Medium.
Carey has appeared on or moderated panels at P.S.1-MoMA, the Cairo Biennale, the College Art Association, the Martin E. Segal Theatre at the City University of New York, the Women's Caucus for Art, the National Critics Conference, and the American University Museum; she has been a featured guest several times on BBC3's Nightwaves. This spring, she presented the keynote speech for the Feminism Now conference at the Brooklyn Museum’s Elizabeth E. Sackler Center. She has translated books from French for Harry N. Abrams and her award-winning plays have been produced at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, the New York-based 59E59 Theatres, Ensemble Studio Theatre, Bay Street Theatre, the Samuel French One-Act Festival, and REDCAT Theatre in Los Angeles. In April 2010, she will be a Visiting Critic at The American Academy in Rome.
