INT'L Paperworks Juried Exhibition

Walter Piehl Gallery
Northwest Arts Center
Minot State University
Minot, North Dakota
Juror: Nicole Soukup, Minneapolis, MN
Since 2004, Nicole E. Soukup has worked to bring regional artistic voices into an international context through her curatorial practice. Building on her interests in intersectional feminism and social practice, she co-organized the cross-institutional arts festival, "Guerrilla Girls' Twin Cities Takeover," spanning more than 80 institutions and organizations. In 2017, she was named the Assistant Curator of Contemporary Art and the Minnesota Artist Exhibition Project (MAEP) Coordinator at the Minneapolis Institute of Art (Mia). During her time at Mia, she has curated several notable exhibitions, including "Guerrilla Girls@Mia," "Sara VanDerBeek: Women & Museums," "Sky Hopinka: Disfluencies," and "Art and Healing in the Moment" (co-curated with Philando Castile family). As the MAEP Coordinator, she has overseen more than thirty exhibitions. Her tenure has seen increased national visibility, professional opportunities, and inclusivity in the juried program.
After graduating from the University of Minnesota, she earned an MA from the University of Florida, specializing in Modern and Contemporary Art. Before joining Mia's curatorial staff, Soukup was an independent curator and arts and cultural organizer. She is currently working on "The Lyrical Artwork of Jim Denomie" (July 2023-March 2024), a survey of the artist's singular vision and aesthetic.
