An art historian and curator, she has worked in various international institutions dedicated to contemporary art before directing the CAPC Musée d’Art Contemporain in Bordeaux from 2006 to 2013. Her teaching and research activities at HEAD focus on the social role of art based on the notion of agency from the field of anthropology; on self-taught learning practices; and on the digital condition and its effects on art paradigms. She curated the 2017 edition of Nuit Blanche in Paris, the Swiss Pavilion at the 2019 Venice Biennale with artists Pauline Boudry and Renate Lorenz, and the exhibition “The Self-Taught Enigma” at the Musée d’Art Moderne et Contemporain of Saint-Etienne in 2021–22.
