User:Magdalen23

Wiki user magdalen23 is known in the real world as Tiffany Lee Brown. She is a writer, editor, artist, and Other, based in Portland, Oregon.

She's done most of her wikipedia editing without being logged in, or possibly under earlier login names, and wishes she'd kept track of it all. She is not a pro at the wiki game, alas, but she knows a lot of random stuff and occasionally attempts to make Wikipedia more accurate by throwing in her two bits.

Miss Brown is the editor of PLAZM (Plazm_(magazine)) together with Jon Raymond (Jonathan_Raymond) and art director Josh Berger (Joshua_berger). She is the director of the nonprofit New Oregon Arts & Letters as well.

The author of "A Compendium of Miniatures" (Tiger Food Press, 2007), Tiffany has written for delightful magazines such as UTNE, Bookforum, Oregon Humanities, Bust, Wired, and Portland Monthly, among others; in charming literary journals such as Tin House, Gargoyle, Northwest Edge, Slow Trains; newspapers and weeklies including The Oregonian, Willamette Week, and the Bay Guardian; and in books such as The Bust Guide to the New Girl Order (Penguin), The Catalog of the Future (Que/TechTV), the Covert Culture Sourcebook (St Martin's); websites from Boing Boing to Syfy.com; and other stuff that is escaping her feeble mind at the moment.

Her performance and installation works have been presented at Performance Works NW, Wordstock, the Enteractive Language Festival, Studio Current, and PICA, among others. She is presently at work on an installation and performative lecture to be presented by the Cooley Gallery at Reed College in September, 2011, as part of her ongoing participatory work, "The Easter Island Project."

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 is the winner of the ArtEx Award (writing) and the Mark Goodson Award (theatre).
