Heather Sealy Lineberry
Senior Curator
Heather S. Lineberry is Senior Curator at the Arizona State University Art Museum and has more than 17 years of experience in curating contemporary art. Lineberry has curated exhibitions exploring a broad range of art forms and curatorial approaches including New American City: Artists Look Forward, Art on the Edge of Fashion (traveled nationally), Jim Campbell-Transforming Time-Electronic Works, Sites Around the City: Art and Environment (a citywide series of exhibitions and programs), and The Long Day: Sculpture by Claudette Schreuders (traveled nationally). Currently, three of her exhibitions are traveling throughout the United States, including Business As Usual/New Video from China/Cao Fei and Yang Fudong (co-curated with Marilyn Zeitlin) and Intertwined: Contemporary Baskets from the Sara and David Lieberman Collection. In 2007, the New American City project, which she co-curated with John Spiak, received the President’s Medal for Social Embeddedness at Arizona State University.
In addition to curating exhibitions, Lineberry manages the curatorial department at the ASU Art Museum, including supervision of staff and departments, annual exhibition schedules, curatorial budgets, development activities, and collections management. In addition to contemporary collections, she oversees the historic American art collection at the ASU Art Museum and managed the installation of the Americas Gallery with thematic groupings from the permanent collection in 2003. Working closely with the Museum’s director and staff, she established the Ceramics Research Center at the ASU Art Museum in 2002 and curated its inaugural exhibitions. Lineberry teaches and lectures to university and community groups on museum exhibitions and museum studies topics.
She holds an M.A. in art history and a B.A. in the Plan II Honors Program at the University of Texas at Austin.
