Gabriella Shypula is a curator and PhD Candidate in Art History and Criticism at Stony Brook University. Her dissertation examines New York-based women artists and their relationship to autobiography in the 1970s–80s, revealing how their practices exemplify a broader feminist turn to developing shared historical narratives in the United States since 1970. She is currently a writer and editor at the Smithsonian American Art Museum, contributing women artist biographies in support of the Smithsonian American Women's History Initiative. Gabriella has worked on curatorial and research projects at SFMOMA, the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, the Baltimore Museum of Art, MoMA, the Willem de Kooning Foundation, SculptureCenter, A.I.R. Gallery, and Princeton University Art Museum. She has contributed to exhibitions including Frank Bowling’s Americas (Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, 2022–23), Joan Mitchell (SFMOMA, Baltimore Museum of Art, 2021–22), and Judson Dance Theater: The Work Is Never Done (MoMA, 2018–19). She recently co-curated Revisiting 5+1 in consultation with Howardena Pindell at the Paul W. Zuccaire Gallery and co-edited the accompanying catalogue. She has taught undergraduate courses on modern and contemporary art and holds an MA in Art History and Criticism and a Graduate Certificate in Women’s, Gender, and Sexuality Studies from Stony Brook University. Her research has been supported by the Stony Brook University Alumni Association Doctoral Summer Fellowship, Kusama Research and Travel Awards, and Miriam and Maurice Goldberger Fellowship.
