Curatorial

Since 1998, I’m thrilled to have had the opportunity to organize, curate, co-curate, collaborate on, produce, and present 125 solo and group exhibitions by more than 200 pioneering emerging and established artists, estates, and collectives at both MINUS SPACE gallery, as well as at other collaborating venues, including galleries, museums, non-profits, universities, libraries, and alternative spaces on the national and international levels.

Exhibitions have been covered and reviewed in publications and media outlets such as ABC News, Art in America, Art:21, Artcritical, Artnet Magazine, ArtNews, Artforum, The Brooklyn Rail, Houston Public Radio, Huffington Post, Hyperallergic, The New Criterion, New York Magazine, NY Arts Magazine, New York Sun, The New York Times, Time Out New York, Two Coats of Paint, Village Voice, and The Wall Street Journal, among others.

An archive of curatorial projects is available on MINUS SPACE’s web site.
