CONI TEXT
c. text
Coni Text emerged through Kelly Malone's unique approach to how the line and sign interact in writing. C. Text, both sees and experiences text, textuality, and is the writing materialised. Coni Text made 'its' debut of this embodied writing instantiation in Venice during the opening week of the 57th Biennale, 2017. Later, Coni Text, was seen as a raincoat wearing fili in the New York performance, and as a 'text worker' in white overalls, in the Watt Space performance and installation, 'Reign of Contexti: a room of one's own'.
...one of Aotearoa-New Zealand's few experimental poets who stretches her craft well beyond the page and also induces/introduces her own body as poetry. Her work is significant and ground-breaking. --Vaughan Rapatahana Jacket2
