Lucy Hunter is a PhD candidate in the History of Art department at Yale University, where her research explores intersections of experimental art and corporate culture in the Cold War Era. Her forthcoming dissertation, tentatively titled "A Behavioral Theory of the Artist in Residence," examines the rise of creativity as a core value in corporate America. The dissertation takes three case studies from corporate artist residencies in the 1960s, where major industrial organizations sponsored artists to occupy their facilities as their own temporary studios. Beyond this historical research, Hunter is at work on a management study of New York City art galleries under direction from Professor Florian Ederer at the Yale School of Management. In addition to these scholarly efforts, Hunter is a curator who from 2013-2016 co-founded and directed Where Gallery in Brooklyn, receiving critical acclaim from Artforum, The New Yorker, and more. Hunter's writing has appeared in the Yale Journal of Law and Humanities, Shift Graduate Journal of the Humanities, and Media Fields Journal.
