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 the Karsh-Masson Gallery (Ottawa, Canada), Yamaguchi University (Japan), NARS Foundation Main Gallery (Brooklyn, USA), FADO Performance Art Centre (Toronto, Canada), Art Museum (Toronto, Canada), and SÍM Gallery (Reykjavik, Iceland). Her practice is supported by the Canadian Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC) and the Canada Council for the Art. Vtape, Canada’s largest video art distributor, and the Canadian Filmmakers Distribution Centre (CFMDC) represent 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 between Tkarón:to/Toronto, Canada, and Lenapehoking/Brooklyn, USA.
