TESS
GRUENBERG
Tess Gruenberg (b.1994, NYC) is a writer and creative strategist. Her lyrical, philosophical approach to storytelling has appeared in Flaunt, Dazed, Beauty Papers, and OFFAL.
From 2018 to 2021, she served as assistant editor at Good Trouble, where she authored and edited over thirty features, conducting intimate interviews across culture, politics, and the arts. Her writing weaves together personal narrative with broader cultural critique, creating pieces that are both deeply researched and poetically rendered. She has since collaborated with artists including Paul Graves, Simons Finnerty, and Barry Yusufu on exhibition texts.
She lives on Patmos, where she runs éla! farm + kitchen—an experimental hospitality project focused on local agriculture, rare wine, and performance.
