Brian Droitcour I started working for Rhizome as curatorial fellow in September 2008. I’d been in New York for about nine months, after moving here from Moscow, and I was looking for some kind of art institution to get involved with. I knew one of the staff writers (Tyler Coburn) and followed the blog. Rhizome seemed like it was doing more interesting things than any other organization around, so when the c.f. position came up I applied for it. And after my six months in that position were over I stuck around. Also: I remember the first time I visited Rhizome.org. It was in the summer of 2007, when Documenta did the international independent art publications projects. I found a link to Rhizome on the Documenta site and clicked through to the ArtBase. This was before the last big redesign. If my memory’s not deceiving me, it was a huge list of mustard-colored hotlinks on a black background. It was overwhelming and I left.
