poet, writer and
performer working across artforms, media and languages.

Projects include books, performances, installations, sound pieces, net-based work, graphic and printed work. Selections appear in anthologies in the UK and internationally. Works have been shown and presented at Tate Moden London, MOMA NY, Whitney Biennial NY, Powerplant Toronto, MACBA & Poesia Barcelona, Montevideo Festival Marseille, Fondation Vuitton Paris, Serpentine Gallery London, Arnolfini Gallery Bristol, Khoj Centre New Delhi, Samtidmuseet Oslo… In 2017, Caroline Bergvall was presented with the Cholmondeley Award and the
