Chelsea Haines is a historian of global modern and contemporary art and architecture who writes on histories and theories of museums, exhibitions, and the politics of display, with a specialization in Israel/Palestine. At ASU, she incorporates into her research and teaching critical studies of citizenship, comparative borderlands, and material and ideological imaginings of land, landscape, and environment in modern and contemporary art. Her current book project explores the role of art exhibitions in Israeli nation-building from the 1940s to the 1960s. She is also at work on a new research project charting migrations of Jewish artists to Latin America during and after the Second World War.
She has published articles and reviews for journals including ARTMargins, Collections: A Journal for Museum and Archive Professionals, Journal of Curatorial Studies, Museum Management and Curatorship, The Journal of Holocaust Research, and Third Text. She regularly writes art criticism for Art in America and Hyperallergic. She recently co-edited a special issue of the journal ARTMargins on Art, Institutions, and Internationalism, 1945–1973 (Summer 2019) as well as the book Entry Points: The Vera List Center Field Guide on Art and Social Justice (Duke University Press 2015).
Chelsea received a PhD in Art History from The Graduate Center, City University of New York, in 2020. Her research has been supported by The Andy Warhol Foundation Arts Writers Grant, Fulbright Fellowship, New York Public Humanities Fellowship, and a Presidential Research Fellowship at The Center for the Humanities at The Graduate Center.
Since 2009, she has organized exhibitions and public programs for institutions such as Independent Curators International, Museum of Contemporary Art Detroit, Hudson Valley Museum of Contemporary Art, Portland State University, the Shanghai Biennial, and the Vera List Center for Art and Politics at The New School.
