Emma Cocker is a writer and artistic researcher whose practice unfolds restlessly along the threshold between writing/art. She often works in collaboration with other artist-researchers on durational projects, where the studio-gallery or site-specific context is approached as a live laboratory for shared exploration. Drawing on some of her recent collaborations, Cocker will explore different performative, process-oriented and embodied approaches to working with and through language, sharing her evolving approach to language-based artistic research.
