Bio
My translation and proofreading is more or less divided into two main categories:

1) Art, culture and cultural marketing: exhibition catalogues, exhibition folders, art books, folders, image folders, press infos, magazine articles or reviews, website translations
Participation in numerous bilingual (German/English) exhibition catalogues published by well-known Austrian and Swiss institutions. Translation of essays or reviews by Mieke Bal, Adam Budak, Michael Blum, Guy Brett, Lynne Cooke, Jonathan Crary, Mark Cousins, Deborah Curtis, Terry Eagleton, Francesca Ferguson, Jean Fisher, Andres Ramirez Gaviria, Elizabeth Grosz, Richard Ingersoll, Séamus Kealy, Francis McKee, Laura Mulvey, Hans-Ulrich Obrist, Judy Radul, Johannes Rauchenberger, Gerhard Richter, Marc Ries, Edward A.

2) Moreover, I also do lot of translation and proofreading work in the fields of corporate advertising and marketing — for both global language service providers and direct end clients. Since early in 2008 I've been working for one major global language service provider - still the only LSP I work for on a regular basis - with almost 2,000 jobs completed so far (Dec 2010).
