Known primarily for her pioneering artistic and curatorial work in video art, Carole Ann Klonarides has been an active participant in two historic art communities as they evolved to world prominence: downtown New York (1972–91) and Los Angeles (1991–present). Since 2010, she has served as a career strategist for artists and management consultant for galleries and arts organizations in Los Angeles. In addition to having curated dozens of exhibitions for non-profit art organizations, galleries and museums, Klonarides' own video work has been presented in numerous museum exhibitions, including "documenta 8," "New Works for New Spaces: Into the Nineties," the 1989 inaugural exhibition at the Wexner Center for the Visual Arts, The Ohio State University, Columbus, Ohio and "The Pictures Generation, 1974-1984" at the The Metropolitan Museum of Art. Her work is in the collections of major museums, such as the Getty Museum, The Museum of Modern Art (MOMA), Centre Georges Pompidou, Museu-Fundacão Calouste Gulbenkian, Lisbon, Portugal, Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía, Madrid, Spain, and The Whitney Museum of American Art, and is distributed by the Video Data Bank in the School of the Art Institute, Chicago, Illinois and Electronic Arts Intermix (EAI), New York.
While still an undergraduate at the Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond, Klonarides moved to New York City in 1972 to attend the year-long Whitney Independent Study Program (Studio) along with artists Charles Ahearn, Kathryn Bigelow, Julia Heyward (Duka Delight), Deborah Kass, Julian Schnabel, Michael Smith, and Robin Winters.. She completed her BFA in Painting and Printmaking from VCU in 1973 while still living in New York, supporting herself by doing part-time work as a loft cleaner for Fischbach Gallery, short-order cook at the artist-run Food Restaurant, and a baby-sitter for dancers Tricia Brown and Sylvia Whitman, art dealer Ivan Karp, Paula Cooper and Irving Blum. Klonarides started working in galleries as a "sitter"for the exhibitions of Barry Le Va at downtown Bykert and Mel Bochner at Sonnabend Gallery. She officially became a "gallery girl," working at OK Harris Gallery (1976-1981) before becoming Baskerville + Watson Gallery Director (1983-1987), representing artists Dike Blair, R.M. Fischer, Sherrie Levine, Richard Prince, to name a few.
