Oskár Čepan

Jury Member of Oskár Čepan Award 2026 William Stover has been a curator of contemporary art for over thirty years and has held positions at a number of important institutions. From 1997-1999 Stover was Exhibitions Associate at Independent Curators International where he oversaw the production of exhibitions and catalogues for a number of significant exhibitions. Stover’s tenure at the New Museum of Contemporary Art (1999-2001) saw him managing the day-to-day operations of the Curatorial Department as well as coordinating the production of all the museums catalogues. In 2002 Stover was appointed Assistant Curator of Contemporary Art at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, a fairly traditional, encyclopedic museum, to reinvigorate the contemporary department with an innovative program of exhibitions, events, and acquisitions from a global perspective. Stover’s practice has always allowed the viewer’s engagement with art to be about extended looking, thinking and interacting with art situated within different locations and contexts, and in that spirit, Stover co-founded Re-Sited, a non-profit arts organization dedicated to presenting new scholarly research and curated exhibitions that examine the intersection of site, sculpture and architecture.
