Emmie McLuskey: Creative Practices and Curation in Sound Art

Glasgow-based Emmie McLuskey works with sculpture, print, sound and performance to explore the physical embodiment of communication with a particular focus on systems of learning. McLuskey works across the roles of artist, programmer, writer and educator. She sees these as completely interlinked and inseparable from each other, these multiple expressions, regardless of form, all come from a desire to communicate and process the nuance and complexity of our world alongside others. Collaboration is central to her work, starting with a shared question or observation that she explores more deeply through practice; this has previously taken the form of publications, events, objects, conversations and exhibitions; recent works have centred around interactions in and between bodies, considering the systems that control and record them. This Sharjah Art Foundation talk outlines her approach and practice.
