She will also introduce her recent projects developed in the context of Liverpool Biennial, including ‘The Next Biennial Should be Curated by a Machine’ (co-commission with the Whitney Museum of American Art). She is Professor of Exhibition Research and Head of Art and Design at Liverpool John Moores University’s School of Art and Design, with an adjunct position at Liverpool Biennial.
