Janine’s research explores artistic practices rooted in anticolonial, nonlinear methodologies and attuned to the instability of language. This work frequently informs her talks, seminars, and interdisciplinary collaborations.

Janine holds an MA (cum laude) from the Center for Curatorial Studies, Bard College and a BA from McGill University. Recent curatorial projects include Coming Home Late: Jo Baer in the Land of the Giants at Highlanes, Drogheda and the Irish Museum of Modern Art, Dublin (2023–24), and Unimaginable: Clarion Calls from Rising Seas (with Liza Prins) at Bradwolff Projects, Amsterdam (2024). She is the author of Sung Hwan Kim: A Record of Drifting Across the Sea (Afterall One Work, 2025), and her recent co-edited books include Unlearning Routines of the Possible (with Annette Krauss, Minor Compositions, 2025) and The Constituent Museum Cookbook (with Denise Bowler, Whitworth Museum, 2023). Her writing regularly appears in academic journals, artist publications, and critical anthologies.

With over 15 years of editorial experience in the international art field, Janine has led and supported editorial initiatives for museums, biennials, and independent platforms across Europe, Asia, and North America. She has worked as an editor for If I Can’t Dance, I Don’t Want To Be Part Of Your Revolution (since 2016), Casco Art Institute: Working for the Commons (2013–16), and BAK – basis voor actuele kunst (2011–13). In a freelance capacity, she has developed publication projects for the Toronto Biennial (2020, 2022), Ghost2565 (Bangkok, 2022), documenta14 (Kassel, 2017), and the Finnish Pavilion at the Venice Biennale (2021), among many others.

Earlier in her career, Janine was based in New York where she started out as an intern for the Village Voice, contributing as a freelance critic to publications including Artforum.com, Bookforum and the New York Times. Her ongoing practice spans curating, writing, and developing editorial frameworks that support critical, often collaborative forms of cultural production.
