She studied Art History at Vassar College, during and after which she interned with Gagosian and Castelli Galleries, and worked at the Guggenheim Museum. But she always knew she wanted to write about art, and over the past decades has worked the gamut of digital and print platforms, covering visual, literary, cinematic, and performing arts across a rapidly changing media landscape.<\/p>\n<p>Dambrot is an independent writer who plays different roles at a roster of arts publications; she is currently LA Editor for Whitehot Magazine, Contributing Editor for Art Ltd., and a contributor to Art and Cake, Flaunt, the Huffington Post, Creators (Vice Media), Fabrik Magazine, Palm Springs Life, Vs. Magazine, Porter &amp; Sail, and KCET\u2019s Emmy-winning cross-platform series, Artbound. Formerly Managing Editor at Flavorpill.com, previous publications have included the LA Weekly, Modern Painters, Art Review, Artweek, ARTnews, Desert Magazine, Montage, Bespoke, The Believer, tema celeste, Angeleno, Art Asia Pacific, Bluecanvas, Scene, and Juxtapoz.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to the core practice of critique and chronicle &#8212; and the occasional piece of short fiction &#8212; Dambrot has written hundreds of essays for monographs and exhibition catalogs, which in some ways is her favorite form of prose, marrying analysis with evocative interpretation, art historical context, biography, and even a little bit of poetry. She also curates and juries a few gallery exhibitions each year, typically exploring specific cultural and social themes at the invitation of independent venues, and frequently expanding into the realm of immersive, experiential, festival-like environments inclusive of video, performance, and early AR and VR technologies.<\/p>\n<p>Besides speaks in public at galleries, schools, and cultural institutions nationally, Dambrot currently serves on the board of Art Share LA as well as the non-profit\u2019s Gallery Exhibition Committee, dedicated to preserving a historical landmark of independent local, actual art and artists in the heart of the now-famous and fancy Downtown Art District. She is also the Advisory Board of Building Bridges Art Exchange, an international residency and exhibition program dedicated to the crossing of every kind of border.<\/p>\n<p>An account of her activities is sometimes updated at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sndx.net\/\">sndx.net<\/a>.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_5671\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5671\" style=\"width: 629px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-5671\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/museumofnonvisibleart.com\/interviews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/With-artists-Amy-Kaps-and-Eric-Schwabel-inside-Kaps-Striped-World-installation-at-CMay-Gallery-in-LA_part-of-a-show-I-curated-called-Continental-Drift_2015.jpg?resize=629%2C839&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"629\" height=\"839\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/museumofnonvisibleart.com\/interviews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/With-artists-Amy-Kaps-and-Eric-Schwabel-inside-Kaps-Striped-World-installation-at-CMay-Gallery-in-LA_part-of-a-show-I-curated-called-Continental-Drift_2015.jpg?w=480&amp;ssl=1 480w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/museumofnonvisibleart.com\/interviews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/With-artists-Amy-Kaps-and-Eric-Schwabel-inside-Kaps-Striped-World-installation-at-CMay-Gallery-in-LA_part-of-a-show-I-curated-called-Continental-Drift_2015.jpg?resize=225%2C300&amp;ssl=1 225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 629px) 100vw, 629px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-5671\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">With artists Amy Kaps and Eric Schwabel inside Kaps Striped World installation at CMay Gallery in LA part of a show Dambrot curated called Continental Drift 2015<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_5673\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5673\" style=\"width: 625px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-5673 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/museumofnonvisibleart.com\/interviews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/On-a-studio-visit-with-painter-Wyatt-Mills-in-Los-Angeles.jpg?resize=625%2C625&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"625\" height=\"625\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/museumofnonvisibleart.com\/interviews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/On-a-studio-visit-with-painter-Wyatt-Mills-in-Los-Angeles.jpg?resize=1024%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/museumofnonvisibleart.com\/interviews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/On-a-studio-visit-with-painter-Wyatt-Mills-in-Los-Angeles.jpg?resize=300%2C300&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/museumofnonvisibleart.com\/interviews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/On-a-studio-visit-with-painter-Wyatt-Mills-in-Los-Angeles.jpg?resize=768%2C768&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/museumofnonvisibleart.com\/interviews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/On-a-studio-visit-with-painter-Wyatt-Mills-in-Los-Angeles.jpg?resize=624%2C624&amp;ssl=1 624w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/museumofnonvisibleart.com\/interviews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/On-a-studio-visit-with-painter-Wyatt-Mills-in-Los-Angeles.jpg?w=1080&amp;ssl=1 1080w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 625px) 100vw, 625px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-5673\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">On a studio visit with painter Wyatt Mills in Los Angeles<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>http:\/\/museumofnonvisibleart.com\/interview\/ShanaNysDambrot.mp3Subscribe: Apple Podcasts | Spotify | TuneIn | RSS | Click here to join mailing listShana Nys Dambrot is an art critic, curator, and author originally from NYC but based in Los Angeles since 1995.
