New purpose
So you may have noticed the downturn in my posting frequency on this here blog (or not). I started this site to share my experience while I was in the UK for grad school, and now that I’m back working in the States, I haven’t really figured out what to do with it. I have continued to document the exhibitions I see, though now with far shorter lists of shows and with greater lapses...

Change of scenery
So I have officially made the move from London to Philadelphia. I finished up grad school and have returned to my homeland for work. I’ll be living in the city of brotherly love - which is, coincidentally, where my brother also lives - but commuting to my employer’s office out in rural Pennsylvania to work during the week. While I am still very much involved with contemporary art, and...
