Myles Little

In his capacity as Manager of Exhibitions Outreach, Myles Little works to place Curatorial's projects in museums around the world. He is an Art History PhD candidate at the University of Southern California and a recipient of the Visual Studies Graduate Certificate. Before entering graduate school, he spent almost a decade commissioning photography for magazines in New York, most recently as a Senior Photo Editor of TIME Magazine. In addition to that job, he curated the photography exhibition "One Percent: Privilege in a Time of Global Inequality," which traveled to thirty museums, galleries and festivals on five continents. Hatje Cantz published the catalogue in 2016; both Internazionale and TIME named it one of the best photography books of the year. His dissertation considers documentary photography in New York City circa 1965-1985, a time marked both by extraordinary electrical precarity -- blackouts -- as well as a "blackout" within the medium of photography itself, as it underwent a sustained critique by scholars and critics associated with OCTOBER magazine, among others.
