TULCA is delighted to continue its partnership with ATU Centre for Creative Arts and Media to bring to you our popular curator’s talk along with talks by three of this year’s exhibiting artists every Friday for 4 weeks starting 28 October 2022. This year’s talks series will be hosted by Pálás Cinema.
Artist: Chloe Cooper
Chloe Cooper is an artist, educator and devout paper marbler. She uses the process of marbling to create performative workshops like A Facility for Fluid Sharers, which splashes about in the rocky waters of sexual relationships. She marbles paper to make zines about knee pain, wearing glasses during Covid and drinking wine whilst working from home. She collaborates with composer and vibraphonist Jackie Walduck as Vibin n Marblin to make audiovisual performances where Chloe’s marbling responds to Jackie’s music and vice versa, resulting in immersive video projections and mesmeric vibraphone soundscapes.
Chloe Cooper has recently exhibited and performed works at ME 2 U: A Collective Manifesto, Nunnery Gallery, London (2022); Lakesiders, Lakeside Centre, London (2022); Hyper-Presence by Vibin n Marblin, The Hot Tin, Faversham (2022); Visions, Nunnery Gallery, London (2021); Estuary Festival, London (2021); Pull Up a Chair, Ideas Test / Quiet Down There, Isle of Sheppey (2021); Diagnosis, Dreaming, Waiting by Vibin n Marblin, Chelsea and Westminster Hospital, London (2021); Miso Kitchen by Vibin n Marblin, Electric Medway, Sun Pier House, Chatham (2021); The Body Politic, Catalyst Arts, Belfast (2019); To whom the flesh / My flesh / Still connects me, The Poetry Society, London (2019); 50 years of new society, nGbK, Berlin (2019) and LCN Showcase, SPACE, London (2018); Internal Scratch, Battersea Arts Centre, London (2018); Stay Flexible!
