Dana Miller
American museum curator at the Whitney Museum of American Art, curator of its permanent collection.

Relationship to Fuller
Relationship: chronicler. Miller helped organize the major retrospective Buckminster Fuller: Starting with the Universe at the Whitney Museum (2008) and contributed essays to its catalog. Her writing documents R. Buckminster Fuller's lifelong ties to the art world and reads his work through the lens of his self-styled "scientist-artist" identity — placing his geodesic and Dymaxion projects alongside the practices of contemporaries and successors in modern art. That curatorial framing is a principal way Fuller is presented to art audiences rather than only to engineers and designers.
