Collaborative Curatorial Projects
"Builds off of and converses with The Metropolitan Museum of Art’s digital archive (CC0 dataset). The images are made first by sourcing works available through the “open access images” filter in the MET web collection, then printed and constructed into delicate paper mobiles that are finally rephotographed. The project expands on the concerns around post-colonialism, curating within an archive, and the slippery idea of “ownership” in virtual spaces where art objects and images proliferate and evolve outside of their original/historical contexts." Aquired Silent Face Projects monograph (2023) by the same name for CT State Library and facilitated artist lecture, artist selection, installation, lighting design, deinstallation.
"Describes the artist’s lived experience navigating the American medical industrial complex with multiple misdiagnosed chronic pain disorders. Spanning thirty years, work is contextualized by illness, gender, race, age, ability, class, and is grounded in the artistic expression of self. Descriptions of mental illness, physical disability, and access to proper healthcare are weaved into an examination of embodied knowledge." Facilitated informal artist Q&A, artist selection, exhibition installation, lighting design & deinstallation.

Photography, like many forms of communication, has been significantly impacted by science and technology in it’s relatively short history. As we continue to push the boundaries of visual imagery as a means of human connectivity, innovation plays a critical role in that evolution. This group exhibition will explore the role of science in photographic processes; cultural and social influences on the history; and the opportunities, challenges, and unintended consequences of technology in the photographic arts. Exhibiting Artists: Richard Barnes, John Blalock, Evert Bongers, Barbara Bosworth, Zachary Burns, Phillip Carpenter in collaboration with Jose Pacio, Caleb Charland, Dave Kennedy, Doug Keyes, Eadweard Muybridge, Chris Letcher, Christina Seely, Penelope Umbrico, Madame Yevonde, Amir Zaki
Exhibition design assistant & Condition reporting
Curatorial assistant to the largest photo festival in Central & Eastern Europe 2015 - 2016 brought a transformative experience. Working with Greenpeace, Photo Lucida, Magnum, and the Robert Rauschenberg Foundation among many other galleries, artists, and installation teams, this large scale project focused on global human rights based migration.
