British artist Anna Barham has worked with Index throughout 2019 as the first artist in the Research Processes, a series of residencies started at Index in 2019. Barham works with and beyond language, with text, readings, videos and situations. Linguistics and performativity have been the starting point for investigations and exchange between the artist and Index. A workshop and a book release of her new book, Poisonous Oysters, in late September will be a chance to continue this conversation with audiences. Index Research Processes is a program thought of as a tool to define other temporalities and to, in collaboration with artists, establish ways of investigation operating beyond a starting plan or objective.
