About

I am a writer from an Anglo-Polish family who grew up in London and lives in Berlin.  

I write about art and culture, with a particular focus on Central and Eastern Europe, for various international publications including ArtReview, Art Monthly, Frieze, Flash Art, Apollo, Ocula and MAP.

I also have a longstanding interest in the life and work of the queer author, critic and polemicist Brigid Brophy. Under The Coelacanth Press, I republished and introduced a critically acclaimed edition of Brophy's cult novel of 1956, The King of a Rainy Country – with an afterword by Jennifer Hodgson and artwork by Bonnie Camplin. My writing on Brophy appears in Brigid Brophy – Avant-Garde Writer, Critic, Activist.

My freelance work covers editing, proofreading, writing and moderation. If you would like to work together, please contact me at blattonphoebe [[at]] gmail [[dot]] com.
