I
am a freelance writer, podcast producer and photographer. My work has
appeared in the Brooklyn
Rail, Zing
Magazine, The
Idler, The
Revealer, City Limits, Mr. Beller's Neighborhood, Epiphany and NYU Alumni Magazine. My audio work was featured on B-Side Radio and ARTINFO.com. I have also written for Die
Zeit, Süddeutsche
Zeitung, Frankfurter
Allgemeine Zeitung, Frankfurter
Rundschau and other publications that are even
harder to pronounce for Americans.
Between 2003 and 2005 I worked as a writer-in-residence for L.E.A.P. (Learning Through an Expanded Arts Program), teaching inner city children how to write, conduct interviews and photograph. I also led teacher and artist workshops and worked as a program manager, supervising other L.E.A.P. artists and writers and conducting quality control of L.E.A.P. programs in public schools. In 2003 I taught gifted teenagers photography, audio production and portfolio building at the Joan Mitchell Foundation (NYC) and the Socrates Sculpture Park in Queens. Other residencies I have been invited to include Artcroft (Kentucky, 2008), Yaddo (New York, 2009) and MacDowell (New Hampshire, 2010). I was awarded the Sidney Gross Memorial Award for Investigative Reporting in 2007 and a NYFA fellowship for nonfiction literature in 2009. One of my stories was recently named finalist in the Penelope Niven Award for Creative Nonfiction.
In 2002 I assisted the German artist Karin Sander in the preparation of her conceptual art piece wordsearch, which was published in the New York Times on Oct. 4th 2002. My task was to search for words in every language spoken in New York City. Along with Franziska Lamprecht and Hajo Moderegger, I explored remote neighborhoods in New York City, visited nearly all the Missions to the U.N. and participated in the coordination and correspondence between the artist, the project commissioner (Deutsche Bank), and the word donors.
In 2000 and 2001 I wrote in-depth encyclopedia entries on Roland Barthes, Thomas Bernhard, Peter Bruegel, Roman Opalka, Clifford Still, etc. for the Harenberg Literature Encyclopedia and the Harenberg Painter Encyclopedia (published in 2001 and 2002 by Harenberg). One of my essays about American sightseeing was featured in Erlebniswelten (Lit-Verlag, 2005).
I hold a master's degree in journalism from New York University (2007) and a master's degree in art history from the University of Hamburg, Germany (2001). I was invited to speak at symposiums at Lueneburg University and at The New School and to read at the Bowery Poetry Club (Rant Rhapsodies, 2007) and at the University of East Anglia in Norwich, England (2009).
