Carla Cruz

Carla Cruz is a London-based artist and independent researcher. She has a PhD in art practice from Goldsmiths, University of London. Her ongoing research experiments with forms of collectivity, the erasure of authorship and practices that take place outside and in defiance of the mainstream art system. Recently, Carla was an artist in residency at Gasworks/Open School East London with the artist Antonio Contador, funded by the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation, where they developed Finding Money, London and Paris Diary. She was awarded an AHRC Cultural Engagement grant as Research Associate for Goldsmiths Art Department, based at the community centre The Mill, of which she is currently a Trustee. Carla is a member of Tottenham Hale International Studios, an artist-run organisation that provides affordable working spaces for artists, where she co-organises the outreach programme. She is currently developing the project Finding Money, The Wish with Antonio Contador at Lindre-Basse, France.
