My area of specialization is performance art in East-Central Europe.
I wrote the first comprehensive history and analysis of performance art in Central and Eastern Europe, a monograph entitled Performance Art in Eastern Europe since 1960, which was published as part of Manchester University Press's Rethinking Art's Histories series in February 2017. My website, www.performingtheeast.com , documents the research and writing of the book.
My current research expands my comparative approach to performance art to include other peripheral performance histories from across the globe. I am also looking at pedagogical approaches to teaching performance art in East-Central Europe.
My first book, Performing the East: Performance Art in Russia, Latvia and Poland since 1980, was published in 2013 by IB Tauris. My second book was a monograph on the Latvian painter and performance artist Miervaldis Polis, published by Neputns in Latvia in 2015.
From 2016-2019 I was Director of the George Washington Wilson Centre for Visual Culture, for which I developed the VIEW Visual Arts and Culture Public Engagement Programme. VIEW offers a range of events related to art and culture, including talks, interviews, screenings, exhibitions, performances and workshops, all of which are free to the public. The programme was awarded funding from the Aberdeen City Council and the University of Aberdeen Development Trust.
From 2014--2016 I hosted a range of performance events in the Northeast of Scotland, as part of my AHRC-funded research project, Performance Art in Eastern Europe. These included performances by Bozidar Jurjevic, Branko Miliskovic and Richard Demarco at the University of Aberdeen; and Tanja Ostojic and Karolina Kubik in Aberdeen and Perth.
I am part of the Mapping Performance Art Histories research group run by Heike Roms and Dror Harari, which looks at so-called 'peripheral' performance art histories from around the globe.
In 2014, I co-edited a special edition of Centropa: Journal of East European Art History and Architecture with Dr. Pavlina Morganova, with articles by scholars from the region on the development of performance art in Eastern Europe.
My current supervision areas are: Film and Visual Culture.

I welcome inquiries from prospective PhD students who would like to pursue a research project on a topic related to contemporary art in Eastern Europe, in particular performance art, participatory art or socially engaged art.
