Emma Cocker is a writer-artist and Associate Professor in Fine Art at Nottingham Trent University, UK. Her research enquiry unfolds at the threshold between writing/art, involving diverse process-oriented, dialogic-collaborative and aesthetic-poetic approaches to working with and through language. Cocker often works in collaboration with other artists on durational projects, where the studio-gallery or site-specific context is approached as a live laboratory for shared artistic research. Cocker’s writing has been published in Failure, 2010; Stillness in a Mobile World, 2010; Drawing a Hypothesis: Figures of Thought, 2011; Hyperdrawing: Beyond the Lines of Contemporary Art, 2012; On Not Knowing: How Artists Think, 2013; Choreo-graphic Figures: Deviations from the Line, 2017; The Creative Critic: Writing as/about Practice, 2018; Live Coding: A User's Manual, 2023, and in the solo collections, The Yes of the No, 2016, and How Do You Do?, 2025. Cocker is co-founder of the international Society for Artistic Research Special Interest Group for Language-based Artistic Research. See also https://orcid.org/0000-0002-2985-7839

Through the gathering of this second PRACTICE SHARING specific fields of resonance emerge including trans-linguality, embodied languaging, voice and vocalisation, site and situative writing, fictional approaches, text as material, experimental reading, just to mention a few. Rather than a definitive or exhaustive archive or survey of the field, the PRACTICE SHARING platform aims to provide a starting point from which future conversations and collaborations might emerge. 

  

PRACTICE SHARING II is co-edited by Emma Cocker, Cordula Daus and Lena Séraphin. For more on the Special Interest Group for Language-based Artistic Research and to join the mailing list see - https://www.researchcatalogue.net/view/835089/835129
