David Lisbon (b. 1994, Kansas City, MO) currently works at the Whitney Museum of American Art. Before becoming a curator, he studied and practiced architecture in New York City. In graduate school, Lisbon wrote about surveillance in art institutions and advocated for a more transparent and democratic use of institutional data.
