Hi Marie,
How’s Vienna? You have no idea how much I miss it! Thanks for the kind words about the exhibition. I’m really happy and excited about it and getting to do it.
Well to answer your questions, I was asked to curate a Front Room project by Laura Fried and Anthony Huberman. This is largely because I won the Frieze Writer’s Prize last year, but doing the internship there also had a lot to do with it. By interning, they got to see how I wrote about different artists and the kind of artists I was interested in, and I got a chance to prove myself to people who really do stuff in the art world (doing the intern grunt work with a smile on my face!).
