Ali Hillman | Director
Ali Hillman
Ali is currently curating the inaugural Concord Art Prize, inviting UK based artists to make work inspired by music ranging from Mark Ronson to Stravinsky. The prize is a launchpad for creative talent that will continue to build for years to come. An exciting new addition to the contemporary art field. For more than twelve years Ali has been responsible for the public art programme at Microsoft founder Paul Allen’s sites in London and Los Angeles. Producing six to eight public exhibitions each year, more than one hundred artist residencies and developing cultural strategy alongside institutions; including public museums, commercial galleries and leading art and design fairs. After being tasked with the development of the art programme at h club, her engagement with contemporary art took off as she raised the club's profile and reputation within the arts community. Key influences have always resonated from the talent that she has worked with over the years. From its genesis, artists have inspired the programme and helped Ali shape the style and manner of the h club's exhibitions. Successful associations with artists have led to enduring presences within the programme, while producing the debut solo show for Ivan Moscovich at h club London was a career highlight. In quickly developing her association with the local LA art market, Ali was fortunate to present work by leading artists Anja Niemi, Gina Osterloh, Lisa Anne Auerbach, Aaron Sandnes, Kim Dingle and Megan Whitmarsh at h club LA. Another highlight has been the joyful collaboration with Capitol Record’s global creative director, Nicole Frantz, in presenting the LSD Project. At the heart of Ali’s programming is infinite gratitude for the contemporary artists and their unending creativity. Hillman's curated exhibitions have been reviewed by The Guardian, Creative Review, Wallpaper Magazine, as well as BBC Breakfast and ITV News. Project highlights include staging installations in international train stations for Eurostar. For over four years Ali has also been responsible for commissioning art installations for Eurostar business lounges in London St Pancras, Paris Gare du Nord and Brussels Midi, mainly sourcing contemporary artwork from artists local to those cities. Within the scope of these roles Ali has consigned work from leading commercial galleries and institutions across the UK, Europe and the United States aligning her artistic programmes with high profile festivals and key cultural events. Previous partnerships include The Photographers Gallery, Royal Academy of Arts, London Design Museum, Photo London, Frieze Art Fair, London Design Festival, Royal College of Art.
