Join artist Katrina Palmer as she shares insights into her practice, which encompasses writing and sculptural objects experienced in a number of ways including audio installations, printed materials and live readings.
Katrina Palmer uses writing and sculptural objects in publications, audio installations and live readings. Recent works include 'The Necropolitan Line', Henry Moore Institute, Leeds (2015) which facilitated visitors' journeys through the galleries with guiding structures, illuminations and fragmented stories about absences; 'End Matter' (2015), an Artangel commission which combined an audio installation on Portland, Dorset, with a book published by Book Works; 'The Fabricator’s Tale', a collection of short stories (2014); and her first book The Dark Object (2010) which explored sculpture’s awkward relationship with conceptual art, presented through a student’s carnal fantasies in an ideologically oppressive institution.
Other exhibitions include 'The Three Stories are Flattened', Void, Derry (2016); 'The Weight of Data', Tate Britain, London (2015); 'MirrorCity', Hayward Gallery, London (2014); 'Dr Sinclair’s Drawer', Flat Time House, London (2014); 'Reality Flickers', MOT International, London (2014); 'From Morn ‘Til Midnight', Supportico Lopez, Berlin (2013); 'The Weight of Living', MOT International, London (2012). Palmer has contributed to other publications including 'The Object: Documents of Contemporary Art' series, Whitechapel Gallery/MIT (2014) and 'Modern British Sculpture', Royal Academy of Art, London (2011).
