His projects have received coverage by Artforum, The New York Times, Contemporary Art Daily, and Mousse Magazine, among other outlets. Siegle's practice also includes writing and curatorial projects: He has published essays on the work of Kenneth Tam, Jules Gimbrone, and Kent Monkman, and he is currently working on a book manuscript examining the fundamental propositions of object-based artwork. From 2013-2016, Siegle co-ran the seminal artist-run gallery metro pcs in Los Angeles, which exhibited over 100 emerging and established artists, and is now part of the “Closed Spaces” archive on Contemporary Art Daily. After 5 years of nomadic studio practice, he is based out of Brooklyn, NY.
