This has been the guiding principle of all my work and the institutions I have served. As a curator, I have focused on exhibitions, publications, and public programs that explore artistic imagination, to illuminate how creativity can transform our experiences and understanding of our world and how we live in it. Whether working on projects focused on a single individual or developing group shows presenting ideas and ideals relevant to contemporary discourse, I seek to make exhibitions that afford opportunities for reflection and discovery, context and interpretation as a means of accessing the artists’ voice. https://www.terriesultan.com/new-page-1 daily 0.75 2021-04-04 https://www.terriesultan.com/general-2 daily 0.75 2021-06-10 https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5f47f7373b577b10e46b24dd/t/5f99c858a375e326dafad6d5/1603913830259/8209.jpg General 2 https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5f47f7373b577b10e46b24dd/t/5f99c91a589e3a53bbb17150/1603914029436/Alex+Katz+%C2%A92010+photos+By+Ginger+Propper-9.jpg General 2 https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5f47f7373b577b10e46b24dd/t/5f99c8398818c018361c1723/1603913801613/Terrie+at+podium+2.JPG General 2 https://www.terriesultan.com/architecture daily 0.75 2021-01-06 https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5f47f7373b577b10e46b24dd/t/5fa975e60feb65138977bcd7/1609958232400/Old+Parrish+historical+in+color.jpg Architecture - Background The Parrish Art Museum was founded as The Art Museum at Southampton by lawyer and collector Samuel Longstreth Parrish and opened to the public in 1898. It began as a small Italianate building designed by Grosvenor Atterbury, with a single exhibition hall. This was expanded in 1902 and again in 1905, under Atterbury’s guidance, to include a concert hall and additional exhibition space, all surrounded by an arboretum planned by the landscape architect Warren H. Manning. As intimate and charming as the Atterbury building was, by the mid-1980s the Museum had outgrown the facility. The collection had grown, as had the aspirations of the trustees and staff. They envisioned a new construction that would underscore Samuel Parrish’s original vision while reflecting the modern world in form and function. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5f47f7373b577b10e46b24dd/t/5fa9b6a34f8f02449a01d1fd/1609958251130/IMG_3072.JPG Architecture - The New Parrish Art Museum In 2005 the Museum purchased fourteen acres in Water Mill, New York, and the board of trustees selected the internationally celebrated architectural firm Herzog & de Meuron to design a larger building. In 2007 a plan was unveiled, under the leadership of the Museum’s director, Trudy Kramer, who retired that same year. I joined the Parrish as director in April 2008. By September, as the world’s economies were in a critical downturn, it was clear that the existing plan for the new building was not economically feasible. A meeting with Herzog & de Meuron design partner Ascan Mergenthaler in March 2009 yielded a revised concept. From simple sketch to finished building, the new Parrish arose through a collaborative approach to design and construction. The team of architects, staff and trustees, engineers, landscape architects, and contractors met for a weeklong charrette, focusing on the idea of a purpose-built museum that would cohabit with the natural beauty and legendary light of the East End of Long Island. The goal was an intimate home for art, one that welcomed the public. The project was accomplished on budget in an almost unprecedented time frame, and with a purity of vision that remained faithful to the concept proposed in 2009.
