Williams College Museum of Art Director Lisa Corrin will step down from that position on June 30, after leading the college museum since fall 2005, according to an announcement from the western Massachusetts school. She plans to “teach at the college and serve both as a Clark Fellow at the Sterling and Francine Clark Art Institute and as a visiting scholar in museum studies at New York University.” Williams says it will launch a national search for her successor.
Corrin was previously chief curator at The Contemporary Museum in Baltimore from 1989 to 1997, chief curator at the Serpentine Gallery in London from 1997 to 2001, and deputy director of Art at the Seattle Art Museum from 2001 until coming to Williams. In Seattle, she also curated the new Olympic Sculpture Park.
