Tina di Carlo is a PhD Fellow in the research project Place and Displacement: Exhibiting Architecture, in the Department of From, Theory and History at the Oslo School of Architecture and Design. She is a Fellow in Visual Cultures at Goldsmiths, University of London and in 2012 will be a Visiting Tutor in Critical Thinking at the Architectural Association, London.

From 2000-07 she was a curator of architecture and design at the Museum of Modern Art, New York. There she curated and assisted with numerous exhibitions including: The Changing of the Avant-Garde: Visionary Drawings from the Howard Gilman Collection (with Terence Riley), Tall Buildings (with Terence Riley and Guy Nordenson), The Highline and OMA in Beijing: China Central Television Headquarters, among others and was instrumental in building the collection of contemporary architecture. She is a contributing editor to LOG: Observations On Contemporary Architecture and the City and in 2010 was the consulting editor for LOG 20, the first compendium on curating architecture. In addition to publishing internationally she is the author of the forthcoming book Exhibitionism (Sternberg Press), a lexical study that proposes new forms of curating architecture congruent with contemporary critical spatial practices and for which she was awarded a Graham Foundation for Advanced Studies in Fine Arts grant. In 2010 she founded ASAP, an archive of spatial aesthetics and praxis dedicated to collecting architecture as part of a broader political, social and aesthetic discourse.

Di Carlo holds a master’s degree in architecture from Harvard’s Graduate School of Design (where she completed her thesis on the ICA in Boston), and master’s degrees in philosophy and art history from the Courtauld Institute, London (where she focused on modern art and post-war French discourse). She has been a guest critic at Harvard, Princeton, Columbia, UCLA, the Architectural Association, London and a guest Professor at the Berlage Institute, The Netherlands where she led a research studio on nascent economies in northeast Brasil.
