Other than serving as an editor for WhiteWalls, he also writes extensively on topics in contemporary art and culture, and has contributed reviews and essays to a number of publications, including American Craft, Artforum, Art Issues, Art on Paper, Exposure, and New Art Examiner. Spector received a BA in Art from Southern Illinois University, Carbondale, and an MFA from the University of Chicago.
