Double Bind, 2026

A performance pairing two speakers from different fields who respond to the same questions in isolation from each other. Their testimonies are presented simultaneously, with live semantic analysis visualizing where their language converges and diverges.

Crit Club, 2024-ongoing

A performance where two teams debate an unrealistic question about art.

Floor Pieces, 2023-ongoing

Ongoing series of sculptural interventions in the form of modified caution wet floor signs.

Museum Lens, 2026

An AI-powered tool that helps gallery visitors engage with exhibition texts. Three modes (Guided Reading, Plain Language, and Analysis) translate specialist terminology, rewrite the text in plain language, and diagnose the writing itself. Multilingual and free to use.

Untitled (Elephant in the Room), 2026

An inflatable transparent elephant seated among the audience during The Politics of Print Symposium at STPI, Singapore.

The Nametable, 2026

The Nametable is a participatory performance in which a committee of naming specialists, drawn from disparate professional fields, helps members of the public find new names for whatever they bring forward: an object, an identity, a project, a business, a child, a place, a problem. The committee gathers a midwife, a drag performer, a poet, a biologist and a brand consultant around the same question.

Maybe the Real Art..., 2025

A mobile LED road sign displaying the phrase "Maybe the Real Art is the Friends We Made Along the Way." The work borrows the authority of traffic infrastructure to deliver a meme at public scale.

Thank You for Your Understanding, 2023

A series of fictional caution signs installed outside the Berlinische Galerie during its renovation closure, offering uncanny reasons for why the museum is closed.

Theory is My Friend, 2023

Fictional exhibition posters that replaced existing posters in the Louisiana Museum, adapting internet meme formats to the museum's visual identity.

Flag Series, 2022-ongoing

An ongoing series of flags that use the format's built-in authority and symbolism to deliver deadpan commentary on art world conventions.

Pleased to Announce, 2022

An exhibition critiquing the standardised, often incomprehensible language of institutional art writing. Real and fictional exhibition texts are displayed alongside memes, challenging visitors to distinguish between the two.

Situated Memes, 2021-ongoing

Adaptations of digital meme formats into physical objects, shaped in response to specific institutional or cultural contexts.

The Party, 2021

A gallery installation based on the They Don't Know meme format, featuring Wojak lingering in the corner of a party, convinced the other guests don't know what it takes to be an artist.
