I will present my new postdoctoral project on planetarity in contemporary art discourse at an upcoming workshop at the EXC Temporal Communities of the Freie Universität Berlin, with public keynotes by Shannon Jackson and Hannah Baader. The event is organized by Friederike Schäfer and Mateo Chacón Pino, initiators of the Exhibition Ecologies working group, which I joined as a founding member in 2024.

Please join me for my fellow lecture, Page Not Found, where I will discuss inaccessibility and media obsolescence in digital artists’ publishing at the Centre for Advanced Studies Access to Cultural Goods in Digital Change at Universität Münster.

Dec. 17, 2024

Looking forward to presenting my research in Santiago de Chile, on invitation of Megumi Andrade Kobayashi from the Universidad Finis Terrae, as part of a research project on contemporary artists’ books.

Oct. 1, 2024

I am pleased to announce that I have joined the Centre for Advanced Study Access to Cultural Goods in Digital Change at Münster University as a senior fellow. While it seemed that the promise of participation and accessibility, so central to all 1960s conceptual projects, had finally come true in the new networked cultures of the World Wide Web, there is an irony in the current inaccessibility of many early net art projects: websites of virtual exhibitions have been shut down, and virtual works stored on CD-ROMs rely on outdated and now inaccessible software. Upcoming fellow lecture on Monday, 20 January 2025, 4:15 pm (Room 210, Philosophikum, Domplatz 23, 48143 Münster).

Thanks to a travel grant for curatorial research by the Goethe Institut for my project “Reading Artists’ Books”, I am headed to New York and Chicago this fall for six weeks. I will study both Doro Boehme’s (1957-2020) private collection of artists’ books and the Joan Flasch Artists’ Book Collection at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago where she worked as a curator and librarian for many years.
