Terence Riley is Chief Curator of Architecture and Design at The Museum
of Modern Art, New York. He studied architecture at the University of
Notre Dame and Columbia University and before joining the Museum
established an architectural practice with John Keenen. Keenen/RileyÃs
work has been published and exhibited widely.
In 1989, Riley curated ìPaul Nelson: Filter of Reason,î the inaugural
exhibition at the Arthur Ross Architecture Galleries at Columbia
University, where he served as Director until 1991. He also directed
exhibitions on the work of Iacov Chernikhov and a restaging of the
MoMAÃs first exhibition on architecture entitled ìExhibition 15: The
International Style and The Museum of Modern Art.î He has been an
adjunct faculty member since 1987.
Mr. Riley joined the MoMA in October 1991, and was appointed Chief
Curator in September of 1992. In addition to the landmark
retrospectives, ìMies in Berlinî (2001, co-curated with Barry Bergdoll)
and ìFrank Lloyd Wright: Architectî (1994), Riley has focused primarily
on major figures and themes in contemporary architecture. In 1994,
Riley organized exhibitions on the work of Rem Koolhaas and Bernard
Tschumi. He also curated two major international surveys ìLight
Constructionî in 1995, and ìThe Un-Private Houseî in 1999. In 2001,
RileyÃs co-organized with Barry Bergdoll ìMies in Berlin,î a major
scholarly exhibition focusing on some 30 projects from the architectÃs
Berlin years, ìMies in Berlinî, was the first in-depth investigation of
this vital period of Ludwig Mies van der RoheÃs career. The exhibition
and its accompanying publication examined MiesÃs architectural work from
the time he arrived in Berlin in 1905 and established his architectural
practice there in 1913, until his emigration to the United States in
1938.
Riley has also devoted considerable effort to highlighting the work of
lesser-known architects. Organized jointly with the Wexner Center for
the Arts and the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, the 1998 show
ìFabricationsî presented 12 younger architects from across the United
States. The exhibition of selected works from the Mies van der Rohe
Prize for Latin American architecture featured the works for both
established and younger architects deserving of a wider international
audience.
Riley was a staff liaison to the MoMAÃs Architect Selection Committee.
In December of 1997, the Committee announced that Yoshio Taniguchi has
been chosen to design the new Museum. Riley curated two shows related
to the expansion, ìTowards the New Museum of Modern Artî and ìRethinking
the Modern: Three Proposals for The Museum of Modern Art.î
