In Residence at Bundanon

By the fall of 2024, I will have curated three Kiki Kogelnik exhibitions: Kayne Griffin, Los Angeles, 2021; Mitchell-Innes and Nash, New York, 2022; and Pace, London, 2024; and contributed to the realization of a number on monographic institutional exhibitions including: Musée des beaux-arts de La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland, 2020; Mostyn, Llandudno, UK, 2020; and Kunstforum Wien, Austria, 2023. Each of these exhibitions had a different focus. My aim is to author a substantial text for an illustrated monograph that will offer a comprehensive overview of the artist’s life and work.
