I’ve recently joined the Cultural Strategies Initiative as a Fellow. It’s a relatively new organization that’s focused on building “cross-sector projects and knowledge that will help to illuminate and activate art’s role in saving the world.” No small ambitions here!

Anyhow, as a fellow I’ll be continuing my arts journalism work and undertake a new book project that I started on late last year. In this book I’ll be examining the ways that the arts are currently valued in the US and suggest an entirely new way of thinking about their value. No small ambitions here either…

Performa 09: Back to Futurism, the newly published catalogue for the Performa 09 performance art biennial was just published. A short essay by me about the re-enactment of Anna Halprin’s 1965 dance work parades & changes is contained in the book. Learn more.

I found out that I’ve been offer a residency at the Millay Colony for the month of October. This opportunity couldn’t come at a better time. I’m at the start of two major writing projects and will be able to get a great start on them during my time upstate. Also hope to get in a good number of walks in the woods.

Welcome to my new website. It’s still under construction, but I’m glad you stopped by.
