Overview
I am a seventh-year Ph.D. candidate in art history. My dissertation, “Between Voices: Conversation, Communication, and the Sound of Relation,” considers the voice in multimedia artworks by Robert Ashley, Wynne Greenwood, and Wu Tsang and Fred Moten. Drawing on private and public dialogues between friends, lovers, and bandmates, these artists contend formally with technological rearrangements of the social in their respective periods, in particular the sonics of technologies of mass intimacy, from the microphone to television to the mobile phone. I received a BA in American Studies from Vassar College in 2013. My art and music criticism has appeared in publications including e-flux Criticism, Artforum, Art in America, Affidavit, Pitchfork, the Brooklyn Rail, the Fader,Momus,ArtReview, the Nation, and Dis. I have contributed to exhibition catalogues for Israel Lund and John Akomfrah. I previously served as Editor at the New Museum and Senior Editor at Modern Painters. My advisor is Dr. Kristine Stiles, Frances Family Distinguished Professor of Art, Art History & Visual Studies.
