Bio
More than an artist — whose work bridges various media and genres, from photography to pornography, performance to talk shows — I’m an archivist, cataloging my life to explore gender, sexuality, identity and language.
I’m a past Eyebeam fellow, NEW INC member, and New Jersey State Council on the Arts awardee. I’ve been commissioned by Rhizome and Meta Open Arts, collected by the Whitney and MoMA, exhibited at ETH Zurich and Rencontres d'Arles, and reviewed in Art in America and Hyperallergic. I have performed at the Palais de Tokyo, talked at the NEW MUSEUM, and organized a year of queer programming for ICP.
