Danielle Wu is a writer and curator based in New York. She is primarily interested in artists who engage in biting institutional critique: against regimes of truth, beauty, religious authority, and fantasy that occlude reality and dissent.
She is currently the Communications and Exhibitions Director at Asian American Arts Alliance (A4) and was previously a Digital Fellow at Democracy Now! Her reviews have been published in Art in America, Artforum, Frieze Magazine, The Offing, among other publications. Notable curatorial projects include Just Between Us: From the Archives of Arlan Huang with Howie Chen at Pearl River Mart, New York (2023); Water Works at International Studio & Curatorial Program, New York (2022); and Ghost in the Ghost with scholar Anne Anlin Cheng at Tiger Strikes Asteroid, New York (2019).
