Artist Registry
The White Columns Curated Artist Registry is an online platform for emerging and under-recognized artists to share images and information about their respective practices. The Registry seeks to create a context for artists who have yet to benefit from wider critical, curatorial or commercial support. To be eligible, artists cannot be affiliated with a commercial gallery in New York City.

STATEMENT OF WORK
My practice considers site, temporality and collaboration as the foundational principles for meaning-making. Evidenced through experimental moving-image, multi-channel video and performance, my work connects the dominant infrastructures of time with the intimacy of embodied duration. I explore this tension through a research-based lens, citing feminist phenomenology, queer time theory and more-than-human ontologies. Time is not an objective monolith experienced equally. As described by theorist Sarah Sharma, “power-chronography” is the temporal architecture that configures labour relations. Depending on our socio-economic standing and systemic barriers, experiential time is unevenly distributed. The “universal” time standard our globalized world runs on is a messy, flawed system. Like Sharma, I advocate for a radical, democratic approach to re-balancing our time-space distribution.
BIO
Emily DiCarlo (b. 1985) is an artist, researcher, and writer whose interdisciplinary practice considers site, temporality and collaboration as the foundational principles for meaning-making. Evidenced through video, installation, text and performance, her work connects the infrastructure of time with the intimacy of duration.
Her work has been shown internationally, with most recent exhibitions at the NARS Foundation Main Gallery (Brooklyn, USA), Yamaguchi University (Japan), FADO Performance Art Centre (Toronto, Canada), Art Museum (Toronto, Canada) and SÍM Gallery (Reykjavik, Iceland). Her practice has been supported by the Canadian Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC), the Canada Council for the Arts and the Ontario Arts Council. Her work is represented by Vtape, Canada's largest distributor of video art.
She writes alongside her visual practice, often focusing on the sociopolitical implications of predominant time structures in contrast to alternative temporalities through feminist phenomenology, queer time theory and more-than-human ontologies.
She recently 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). Her work has also been published in The Sociological Review magazine and KronoScope academic journal. She lives and works between Tkarón:to/Toronto, Canada and Lenapehoking/Brooklyn, USA.
