I maintain an active hybrid practice with the idea collective, John Q. For more information please follow the link:
Founded in 2009, John Q is an idea collective whose work aims at frustrating the line between art and research. From performance to peer reviewed essays, past projects have been particularly focused on social histories and memory. The collective is deeply invested in the notion of public scholarship. This can mean simply communicating research across boundaries, such as specialized to vernacular languages. John Q is also interested in the possibilities of publicly situating research methods, and even in producing scholarship with various publics.
John Q’s first public works emerged from archival research. Projects have included public intervention and re-performance, magazine projects, editorial work, writing, and video installation. The collective has been recognized by a museum catalog, private foundation grants, awards from Artadia (NY) and the American Historical Association, and a residency at the Elsewhere Museum funded by the National Endowment for the Arts.
Past projects include:
Discursive Documents: Performing the Catalogue
The Campaign for Atlanta: An essay on queer migration
