Assistant to Writer, Editor, Artist - Freelance
MAGDALEN —
Portland, OR
Tiffany Lee Brown is an editor of Plazm magazine and the director of New Oregon Arts & Letters. Tiffany's writing has appeared in UTNE, Bookforum, Oregon Humanities, Tin House, Bust, Wired, and The Oregonian, and in charming literary journals and anthologies such as Gargoyle, Northwest Edge, and The Bust Guide to the New Girl Order. She's been known to work in the poor ol' despised genre of prose poetry, authoring "A Compendium of Miniatures" (2007, 2GQ/Tiger Food Press).
Combining performance, installation, and writing, Miss Brown's interdisciplinary art works have been presented locally by Performance Works NW, PICA, and the JAW Festival at Portland Center Stage. Her rather sprawling and occasionally perplexing Easter Island Project spans over five years, and will culminate in a show at the Cooley Gallery's CaseWorks series at Reed College in spring 2012.
She applies her creative and strategic knowledge to business clients as well. Creative Director of an Internet nonprofit in West Africa, she was also Senior Writer for the New York City offices of interactive agency Organic, where she was founding editor of the musician Sting's first website. Working freelance, her clients have included Nike, the Pacific Northwest College of Art, New Line Cinemas, and Laika.
Tiffany holds BA and MFA degrees, and has studied at the University of California, Berkeley; Goddard College; and Trinity College in Dublin, Ireland. She has received grants and residencies from RACC (Regional Arts & Culture Council), the City of Portland, Caldera Arts, Soapstone, and Hypatia, and serves on the Selection Committee for the Visual Arts Chronicle of Portland. She recently won the ArtEx Award.
Miss Brown is currently adjunct faculty in the Master of Humanities program at Prescott College. Follow her exploits at magdalen.com.
