She is associate professor of Contemporary Art & Criticism at Princeton University, where she is also affiliated with the programs in Media & Modernity and Latin American Studies. Her research concerns how critical, insurgent dialogues with legacies of modernist and avant-garde art map the coordinates for global contemporary art today.
