Prombaum
Levi Prombaum was awarded a Fulbright Postdoctoral Fellowship to pursue his research project, “Exhibiting & Collecting Palestinian Art in Israeli Art Institutions, 1967–Present.” In this project, he analyzes field-wide patterns of inclusion and omission of Palestinian art and artists within the Israeli art world, with a particular focus on understudied exhibition and collection practices, originating from within Israeli art institutions, that have amplified the perspectives of Palestinian art and artists during the last fifty-five years.
Prior to his studies in Jerusalem, Prombaum was a curator at Colby College Museum of Art and the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum. He was an American Council of Learned Societies (ACLS) postdoctoral fellow at the Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art and a Getty/ACLS postdoctoral fellow in the history of art. He holds degrees from University College London (PhD in art history), the Courtauld Institute of Art (MA in art history), and the University of Wisconsin-Madison (BA in art history and political science).
