Writing Commissions

Over the last years, I’ve been happy to receive commissions from art spaces, galleries and museums to produce texts alongside artist exhibitions. Normally, these commissions arrive out of bonds of friendship and on-going dialogue with particular artists. I have ended up writing a variety of different kinds of texts: sometimes essays that explore and contextualize the work, sometimes poems, once a key to the exhibition as if the art were a map, once a whole chapbook of images, poems and citations, and once a series of letters as in an archive. I am putting links to all this work here, because it does not quite fit anywhere else. Somewhere between prose and poetry, experiments with form and materiality.
