Curatorial Projects, Research & Publications
My research includes extensive work on artist chronologies; art work provenance and exhibition/publication history; and in-depth reviews of archival materials. As a writer, I specialize in art historical essays on works of art; biographical texts about artists; exhibition press releases, proposals and wall texts; promotional materials; and copy and social media content. In my curatorial work, I have coordinated large-scale installations and managed an array of domestic and international projects. I have also co-curated several exhibitions.
I have contributed my curatorial, research, writing and editing skills to numerous projects and publications. Below is a selection of relevant work.
