"publication as a form of performance and performance as a form of publication"Chloe Chignell



Chloe Chignell (AU) is an artist working across text, choreography and publishing. Chloe takes the body as the central problem, question and location of her research. She invests in writing as a body building practice, examining the ways in which language makes us up.



Since 2019 Chloe co-runs rile* a bookshop and project space for publication and performance with Sven Dehens.
