A.V. Marraccini (via Zoom)
I am a critic, essayist, and historian of art. Currently, I am the critic in residence at the Department of Interdisciplinary Media, NYU Tandon. My PhD was in the History of Art (Chicago, 2018), following my MA (Toronto) and BA (Yale). Prior to arriving at IDM this year, I was a fellow at the Bodleian Library, Oxford, and then at the international Bilderfahrzeuge Project at the Warburg Institute, University of London. My writing has appeared in a range of publications from the TLS, LARB, and Artforum, to BOMB, the Cleveland Review of Books, the New York Review of Architecture, and for the Poetry Foundation. My first book, We The Parasites, was published in the US by Sublunary Editions, and in the UK by Boiler House, both in 2023. I moved to Brooklyn from London in late summer 2023.
