Working title for PhD:听'This Must Be the Place: Mapping Artistic Kinship and Economic Change in Downtown New York, 1973鈥�1987'

This Must Be the Place explores the relationship between the artistic community of Downtown New York from 1973 to 1987 and the transformation to a FIRE (finance, insurance, real estate) economy. I focus on a selection of artists who work collaboratively across disciplines. The central research question of the project is: How was this artistic community both resistant to and complicit with the nascent neoliberal political project? A combination of secondary sources and theoretical texts on the topics of space, queer counter-publics, kinship, labour, and economics guide my analysis of archival materials.听

My research project emerged from my experience as a practitioner in the field. Most recently, I balanced my roles as Art+Feminism Wikipedia Edit-a-thon Co-founder and Lead Co-organizer and Assistant Curator at the galleries of Rutgers University 鈥� Newark with an independent curatorial practice. I have curated the work of artists including Yael Bartana, Hannah Black, Kate Gilmore, Lucia Hierro, Brendan Fernandes, Ken Gonzales-Day, Jen Liu, Tanya Lukin Linklater, Jumana Manna, Divya Mehra, Lorraine O鈥橤rady, Sreshta Rit Premnath, Wendy Red Star, Legacy Russell, and Addie Wagenknecht.
