Emily DiCarlo (b. 1985) is an artist, researcher, and writer whose interdisciplinary practice considers site, temporality and collaboration as the foundational principles of meaning-making. Evidenced through video, installation, text and performance, her work connects the infrastructure of time to the intimacy of duration.
She has exhibited most recently at La Bande Vidéo (Quebec City, CA), NARS Foundation (New York City, USA), Karsh-Masson Gallery (Ottawa, Canada), Yamaguchi University (Japan), Art Museum (Toronto, Canada), and SÍM Gallery (Reykjavik, Iceland). Her practice has been supported the Canada Council for the Art, Ontario Arts Council and the Canadian Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC). Vtape, Canada’s largest video art distributor, and the Canadian Filmmakers Distribution Centre (CFMDC) distribute her work.
She writes alongside her visual practice, analyzing the sociopolitical implications of dominant time structures on marginalized temporalities through feminist phenomenology, queer time theory, and more-than-human ontologies. Her writing has appeared in The Sociological Review magazine and KronoScope journal, and her chapter, “Measuring Uncertainty,” will be featured in the forthcoming volume of The Study of Time 18 (Brill Publishing). She lives and works in Tkarón:to/Toronto, Canada.
