Most recently, Maximiliane was the Managing Editor of Translator, a new English-language magazine of slow journalism in translation. As part of the magazine’s founding team, she shaped the editorial vision and digital brand strategy from concept to publication. In 2021, Maximiliane project-managed the first-ever catalogue of an emerging light-art biennial near Hanover (Evi Lichtungen). She has also edited Clara Schramm’s magazine TABOO, and transcribed conversations with Julian Rosenfeldt, Pipilotti Rist, Albert Oehlen and other artists for Isabel Parkes’ 2021 monograph So Let The Artists Do It. Together with Sarah Waldschmitt, Maximiliane coordinated the re-edition of Kunstmuseum Bonn’s museum guide in 2012.
When she’s not editing or writing, Maximiliane loves curating exhibitions. In November 2025, she showed “Foreign Office”, with works by Abbas Zahedi and Orfeo Tagiuri at Labor am Ebertplatz in Cologne. In 2024, she presented Nick Modrzewski's UK debut exhibition at Sarah Kravitz Gallery, as well as an exhibition of Dunja Jankovic's prints. Before that, between 2014 and 2015, Maximiliane was Assistant Curator for Artists’ Books at the Bilderbuchmuseum Burg Wissem, where she oversaw eleven exhibitions on self-publishing illustrators and publishing houses. Throughout her studies, she was also involved in curatorial projects at Kunstmuseum Bonn and Kunstmuseum Solingen.
In May 2024, Maximiliane joined the board of Saloon London, the UK branch of the Saloon Network for emerging female (identifying & non-binary) art professionals. In this capacity, she has coordinated and hosted events at female-run institutions including the Nicoletta Fiorucci Foundation, Sarah Kravitz Gallery, Belmacz, the Wellcome Collection and Cockpit Studios. In August 2025, Maximiliane moved to the advisory board of Saloon London.
