About
My main research project is provisionally titled: The 'Almost Nothing': Precariousness in Art since the 1960s.
I'm also currently co-editing a book on 'Found sculpture and photography from surrealism to contemporary art' with Julia Kelly.
"The Do-it-yourself Artwork'", an edited book on spectator participation since the 1960s, recently published by Manchester University Press, came out of my PhD thesis at the Courtauld Institute of Art.
Other previous research and publications have dealt with various topics including: 1960s practices, Fluxus, assemblage and 'junk' art, kinetic art, the work of Lygia Clark and Hélio Oiticica, of Bruce Nauman, as well as surrealist legacies in contemporary art. In 2009 I co-curated with David Lomas the touring exhibition 'Subversive Spaces: Surrealism and Contemporary Art'.
Most of my exhibition reviews and essays on contemporary art have been published in the British art magazine 'Art Monthly'.
