I mostly work collaboratively, forming a distributed corporatus, then adopting shared avatars that have interpretive flexibility.
My main research interests in weirding and paragogy coorespond with two inter-related corporations (Confraternity of Neoflagellants, Shift/Work).
Each of these corporations is primarily concerned with methodological inventiveness, para, ‘pata, psuedo and extra-disciplinary methods that systematically re-frame artistic research as an open ended inquiry: a careful, continuous quest driven by curiosity.
At the moment, I’m researching the relationships between crafting magic and artistic learning. This involves composing a ARG-LARP hybrid (Shift/Work: Crafting Magic) and fabulating mismorphic theory-fictions (Confraternity of Neoflagellants).
A member of the International Art Critics Association, I have long worked as a critic for many international art publications. I write for literary and political magazines, the popular press, television, commissioned monographs and artwriting publications and have curated exhibitions as part of international biennials as well as numerous projects at artist-led organisations.
