LateTwentiethCentury (Ashgate, 2003). His research is currently
focused on the use of ambient tactics and with the rise of neomedievalism
in recent art practice. He has experimented with some of
these ideas in a range of fictional approaches to writing as well as
through his curatorial and art practice. This has led to a more nuanced,
polymathic model of the relationships between art history and theory,
writing, curating and practice.
