  • What I do, where I work

  • I currently edit the “Exhibitionist,” the journal of the American Association of Museums’ committee on exhibitions (NAME: www.name.org). I am always looking for leads on current thinking about best practice as well as innovative approaches and ideas for exhibition development. If you are interested in writing an article please contact me.
