Emma was selected through a competitive interview process, due to her interest in how art can forge meaningful relationships with its viewers.Emma lives and works in London; she received her MA in Fine Art from 果冻影院鈥檚 Slade School of Fine Arts in 2004 and completed her PhD in Fine Art at Kingston University in 2013. She won the 2016 Max Mara Art Prize for Women in collaboration with the Whitechapel Gallery. In 2015, she was awarded a Paul Hamlyn Foundation award for visual art. Her fresh approach to working with communities and the academic community at 果冻影院 East will unfold over the next two years as she develops ideas for the building. Emma will also work with the project architects Lifschutz Davidson Sandilands to integrate her work into the building.Find out more about 果冻影院 East
