Her research focuses on institutions that consciously work to present contemporary art to public audiences, from museums to department stores, movies, and magazines, and her courses include “Museums and Problems of Display” and “The Spectacle in Art and Visual Culture.” She recently published “‘The Fur-Lined Museum’: Surrealism and the Museum of Modern Art in New York” in Histoire de l’Art and “The Non-u-ment: Gordon Matta-Clark and the Contingency of Space” in Octopus: Journal of Visual Culture History and Theory. Her current book project reconsiders the consumption of Surrealism in the U.S. as both an avant-garde and commercial phenomenon over the course of the twentieth century.
