Kate McIntosh (1974) is an artist who practices across the boundaries of installation and performance. Her works often focus on the physicality of both performer and public, the manipulation of objects and materials, and the development of direct relations between spectators. McIntosh has ongoing fascinations with the sensory, transformation, collectivity, animal-human connections, destruction, mess, humour, care. She will be in a writing residency at O Espaço do Tempo from October 7 to 11 to explore new research processes for her upcoming creation.
