I am an art historian, writer, and theorist of global modern and contemporary art, currently Assistant Professor at Montana State University Billings (USA). My research explores how exhibition publicity—announcement cards, press releases, and related ephemera—shaped artistic form and meaning in North America and Europe between the 1960s and the 1980s. At stake are fundamental questions of canon formation: whose stories enter the record, by what criteria, and with what consequences for collective memory.

My book manuscript, For Immediate Release: Contemporary Art and Exhibition Media, argues that artists working across North America and Europe from the 1960s through the 1980s mobilized publicity materials as historiographic “time machines,” imagining their work in the present as already historical. The proliferation of these publicity materials, I show, exerted substantial pressure on the form and content of contemporary art at the very moment of contemporary art history's own inception. This work has been supported by fellowships from the Dedalus Foundation, the ACLS/Luce Foundations, the Art Institute of Chicago, the Menil Collection, and the Morgan Library & Museum. 

At MSU Billings I design inclusive, discussion-centered courses on modern and contemporary art and visual theory for BFA and BA students. I received my PhD from Northwestern University in 2024. Beyond the university, I have curated exhibitions and contributed criticism to Artforum, The Brooklyn Rail, The Art Newspaper, Esse, and other outlets.
