Katrina Palmer is a sculptor who writes fictions and tells stories as a way of engaging with the problematics of contemporary objecthood. Her work is disseminated in a number of formats: live readings that employ simple props (e.g. Volatile Dispersal Festival of Art Writing at Whitechapel); pre-recorded readings (e.g. Seventh Weekend with the Seminar series at FormContent); short stories in journals (e.g. forthcoming in Royal Academy Catalogue for Modern British Sculpture); and her book, The Dark Object, has just been published by Book Works.

Claire Makhlouf Carter is an event-based artist, who creates scripts as part of her practice. She is currently writing up her PhD. This year she has exhibited at the Royal College of Art, Kingston University, Barbican Gallery, Beaux Arts Paris, and Sinpodium, Reading. Over the last 15 years she has shown extensively, represented by the Hales Gallery for 6 years and Dorothée De pauw Gallery, Brussels for 3 years.
