Caroline Bergvall is a French Norwegian writer and poet, living in London. Her experimental work ranges from spoken-word pieces to visual text works, Internet-based pieces, and performances. Her recent collaborations include the sound-text installation Say: "Parsley" (2008) at the Museum van Hedendaagse Kunst, Antwerp, Belgium, and My Chaucer (2008), hosted by the Dia Art Foundation, New York. Her critical work is concerned with performativity, mixed-media writing, and cross-cultural multilingualism in the work of George Perec, Fiona Templeton, Henri Michaux, Hannah Weiner, and others. Her latest collection of poetic and performance pieces, Fig, was published in 2005, and a new collection of her critical essays is forthcoming.
