Improvisation poses questions upon the production and dissemination of artistic work in terms of its material value, and traditional attributions of mastery. Karen Eliot is an improviser, musician, artist, and activist who works to resist standardised valuation of artistic practice. Her work cannot be characterised in distinct forms, but exists as a multitude of actions, challenging ownership, identity and representation.
