Katrina Palmer
Palmer’s work takes the form of printed matter and elaborated audio environments. Found objects and found sites are presented in written and spoken storytelling in conjunction with fragmented documentation. By highlighting the role of words, as opposed to objects, the works refer to absences, often inviting the audience to imagine items that are indicated, but not fully present. Recent solo exhibitions include The Three Stories are flattened (Void Gallery, Derry, 2016) and End Matter (Artangel 2015). Authored publications include The Time-Travelling Circus: The Dossier on Pablo Fanque and the Electrolier for the complete edition of Essays on Sculpture, Number 78 (Henry Moore Institute, 2017), The Fabricator’s Tale (Book Works, 2014) and The Dark Object (Book Works, 2010). Palmer contributes to publications such as The Object: Documents of Contemporary Art series (Whitechapel Gallery/MIT, 2014) and Modern British Sculpture (Royal Academy of Art, 2011).
