As an independent curator she has organized a number of exhibitions in Europe including Lotte or the Transformation of the Object (Styrian Autumn, Graz 1990, Vienna Academy of Fine Arts, 1991), and Exotic Europeans (National Touring Exhibitions, Hayward Gallery, London).

In 2005, as a result of the research of Metronome No.9, she established a non-for profit publishing company with the co-founder Thomas Beautoux, called Metronome Press, for the publication of fiction written by artists.
