Bio
I am a research specialist at the Getty Research Institute specialized in modern and contemporary art. My focus lies on performance art from Los Angeles and the Balkans, Feminist art, the human body in contemporary art and culture, and the emotion of disgust in art. I am leader of the current Research Institute project “Performance Works: Documenting Feminist Ephemeral Art” and project member of “Käthe Kollwitz: Processes and Influences.”
