Martine Syms is a conceptual entrepreneur  who uses publishing, video, and performance to look at the making and reception of meaning in contemporary America. I currently run Dominica. 
From 2007–11, she directed Golden Age, a project space focused on exhibitions, performances, and printed matter that she founded. At Golden Age, she organized over fifty innovative cultural projects ranging from film screenings to interactive online exhibitions.
