A Heavy Nonpresence
Derica Shields

A digital project, part of Two Ears and One Mouth
  • Derica Shields is an independent writer, researcher, and cultural worker based in London. Her writing has appeared in Flash Art, Frieze, Girls Like Us, the Live Art Almanac, the New Inquiry, and Rookie, among other publications. She is the author of the forthcoming book Bad Practice (Book Works, 2021).

“A Heavy Nonpresence” was made possible through generous support from the Shelley & Donald Rubin Foundation, the Stolbun Collection, Agnes Gund, the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts, the National Endowment for the Arts, the New York State Council on the Arts, and the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs in partnership with the City Council.
