Tony Cokes: texts. tracks. (not an exhibition) is a discursive and artistic platform presenting the work-in-progress of Tony Cokes at the American Academy in Rome. Conceived as an open research environment, it invites visitors to enter and take part in Coke’s artistic process, engaging with a wide range of ideas developed across his practice. The platform functions as both a space for critical exchange and a site of collective listening, thinking, and encounter.
Tony Cokes is the Roy Lichtenstein Artist in Residence at the American Academy in Rome, 2023 Carla Fendi Rome Prize Fellow in Art and Technology, and Professor, Department of Modern Culture and Media (Brown University).
