The well-known museum educator, scholar, and collaborative arts producer Kim Kanatani has been named as the first museum director of the UCI Institute and Museum for California Art (IMCA). The UCI IMCA was established through foundational gifts of art made in 2016 and 2017. Prior to this, Kanatani has served as deputy director and the Gail Engelberg Director of Education at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in New York. Collaborative program development with artists is at the core of her professional practice. Most recently, Kanatani led the Guggenheim Social Practice. It is an initiative that commissions artists to develop new forms of public engagement to address important social values. The inaugural projects featured work by Marc Bamuthi Joseph, Lenka Clayton and Jon Rubin, and Shaun Leonardo. Prior to joining the Guggenheim Museum in 2001, Kanatani was the director of education at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Los Angeles. She will join the University of California, Irvine, in August 2019.
