Research areas,  publications and activities
Marc Siegel’s areas of research include queer and gender studies, post-war European and American avant-garde film (with a focus on the New York underground film scene in the 1960s), film and performance, and film and the visual arts. He is the author of  A Gossip of Images  (forthcoming, Duke University Press), a theoretical investigation of gossip as an indiscreet means of circulating images in queer film culture. He has also published essays on–among other subjects–various figures in the world of avant-garde film, including Andy Warhol, Jack Smith, Mario Montez, W+B Hein, and Taylor Mead. He edited a special expanded issue of the journal  Criticism  dedicated to Jack Smith (2014), and co-edited books in German on synchronization in the arts, queer theory and the work of Italian filmmaker and theater figure Carmelo Bene. Siegel also works as an independent curator in film, performance, and art contexts. He is on the advisory board of the Forum Expanded section of the Berlinale.
