About

I am a Ph.D. art historian with experience ranging from teaching at the undergraduate and graduate level, designing academic programs, museum education, writing and curating. I recently directed a Masters program in Modern and Contemporary Art at Christie’s Education, New York. A pioneering scholar in installation art, I’m the author of From Margin to Center: The Spaces of Installation Art (MIT Press, 1999). For the past decade my focus has been on the role art can play in shifting paradigms and raising awareness of the climate crisis. I’m the editor of Art, Theory and Practice in the Anthropocene (Vernon Press, 2019).
