Flash Art International

• Milan, Lombardy, Italy

• Managing Editor and Critic

  • 1993 - 1996

  Responsibilities included all aspects of preparing the magazine to go to print. I selected and wrote all news pieces, commissioned articles to be written on specific topics, edited the entire publication, worked closely with the graphic design and layout team, and chose images for the magazine’s cover and for accompanying articles and news pieces. Pre-internet, I developed a section called “Aperto,” which initiated a series of “virtual exhibitions”, a two-page spread in the magazine took on the feel of a gallery wall on which artists’ work from a featured city was exhibited along with an article of introduction to that city.
