About Emily DiCarlo

Emily DiCarlo is an artist, researcher and writer whose interdisciplinary practice considers site, temporality and collaboration as the foundational principles for meaning-making. Evidenced through installation, video, performance and text, her work connects the infrastructure of time with the intimacy of duration. Her work has been most recently exhibited at the Art Museum in Toronto and SÍM Gallery in Reykjavik, Iceland, as part of their artist-in-residence program. She is the recipient of the 2022-2023 Canada Arts Council Research-Creation grant and the 401 Richmond Career Launcher Prize and held the 2019-2020 Canadian Social Sciences and Humanities Research grant (SSHRC). 

She has been a council member of The International Society for the Study of Time since 2016 and co-edited a special issue of their academic journal KronoScope, which focused on “Anthropocenic Temporalities.” Last year, she contributed her chapter “Transcending Temporal Variance: Time Specificity, Long Distance Performance and the Intersubjective Site” to the current volume of The Study of Time (Brill Publishing). She currently lives and works in Toronto (Tkaronto), Canada.
