A. Kendra Greene is the Writer in Residence at the Dallas Museum of Art's Center for Creative Connections where she collects oral history from the staff and reinterprets visitor response text into found poetry, performance, and artists books. She started her museum career in Chicago, applying text to the wall one vinyl letter at a time. She first visited Iceland under the auspices of a Stanley Award for International Research, and keeps returning as she writes a book about its startling bloom of museums in the last twenty years, the peculiar ease with which private collections become public places, and how exactly to make a museum of things you cannot see. She holds an MFA in Nonfiction and a graduate certificate in Book Arts from the University of Iowa, where she was a Jacob K Javits Fellow.
