Work

Between 1994 and 2000, she was editor of four issues of FAT magazine.[4] Her questions as a conceptual artist include power politics and political ideas as commodities. In 2007 she spoke in Der Spiegel about the position of women in the art scene.[5]

In 2012, her public art project Manhattan Oil Project, commissioned by the Art Production Fund, was installed on the corner of 46th Street and 8th Avenue in New York City.[6] In 2022, she received a Guggenheim Foundation Fellowship.[7]
