Thinking practice by deliberately refusing reductionist categorization. She is developing this curatorial practice in the wide sense as an artistic practice. Creating off-stage spaces, whatever the platform, by the integration of multiple academic disciplines, dispositives and processes. She is co-founder of the publishing house Clinamen (2013).
