She curated the 30-artist exhibition “HOME: The Aesthetics and Politics of Home in Contemporary Art” at Root Division, San Francisco in 2007. Vayzman’s self-portrait photographs and video work has been shown at Receiver Gallery, SF; Galerie Praz Delavallade, Paris; Glassbox, Paris; Klemens Gasser & Tanja Grunert Gallery, New York; ATHICA: Athens Institute for Contemporary Art, Georgia; Movies With Live Soundtracks, Providence; Safe-T-Gallery, Brooklyn; and the Fin de Siècle New York Festival in Nantes, France. Music projects include the DIY bands Jerk Alert and I Like Action! and a video/sound improvisation with trumpeter Elizabeth Meeker.
