• My research, teaching, and advising address subjects in art history and theory, material culture studies, museology, conservation and American and European art created since the 1960s. Holding a PhD in Art History and Cultural Studies from the University of Amsterdam, I have taught history of art and technology at UCL London and material culture studies at Bard Graduate Center New York, complemented by extensive experience, including leadership, in the museum sector. My work is anchored in two primary research strands: First, the art and culture of the 1960s-70s and beyond, particularly film, video, installation and performative practices in their material and cultural contexts; second, the discourses surrounding conservation as an evolving, epistemic and critical activity, focusing on how it shapes the identity of objects and communities. By challenging occularcentric analyses of artistic practice, I explore how the study of materiality enriches visual and cultural knowledge. My recent research has expanded to investigate naturecultures through the lens of care ethics that respond to evolving ecological and cultural challenges of our time.

• I am a Research Professor at the University of the Arts in Bern, Switzerland, and an Honorary Fellow in the Department of History of Art at University College London. Previously, I served as Associate Professor of History of Art, Materials, and Technology at University College London and as Andrew W. Mellon Visiting Professor at the Bard Graduate Center in New York.
  
  I earned my PhD from the University of Amsterdam in the Department of Art History and Cultural Studies and the Amsterdam School for Cultural Analysis, where I focused on questions of time, change, and materiality in the conservation of media installations (2013). Before transitioning to academia, I was Head of Conservation at the ZKM Center for Art and Media in Karlsruhe, Germany.
  
  I am the author of several monographs, including Paik’s Virtual Archive: On Time, Change, and Materiality in Media Art (University of California Press, 2017) and Revisions—Zen for Film (Bard Graduate Center, 2015). I have also edited anthologies such as The Explicit Material: Inquiries on the Intersection of Curatorial and Conservation Cultures (with Francesca Bewer and Katharina Ammann; Brill, 2017), Object—Event—Performance: Art and Materiality since the 1960s (Bard Graduate Center, 2022), and Performance: The Ethics and the Politics of Conservation and Care (with Jules Pelta Feldman and Emilie Magnin; Routledge, Volume 1: 2023, volume 2: 2024).
