Jennifer Liese is Director of the Writing Center at Rhode Island School of Design, where she also teaches graduate seminar-workshops on artists’ writings (as a genre) and writing for artists (as a practice) in the contexts of both the Master’s thesis and publications. She is the editor of the forthcoming Social Medium: Artists Writing, 2000–2015 (Paper Monument, 2016), an anthology that surveys the contemporary field and the many ways in which artists experiment with conventional rhetoric at a time when writing itself is under reconstruction. Liese was managing editor of Artforum, editor of Provincetown Arts, and an editor (now contributing editor) of Cabinet. Her writing has appeared in Artforum, Bookforum, Cabinet, BOMB, and Paper Monument (see “Toward a History [and Future] of the Artist Statement”).
