Daniela Cascella
Daniela Cascella is an Italian writer based in London. She holds an MFA in Art Writing from Goldsmiths University of London and won the 2011 BookWorks Award for Art Writing.
Her research is focused on sound and listening across a range of publications and curated projects. Her third book En abîme: Listening, Reading, Writing. An Archival Fiction (Zer0 Books, 2012) explores listening and reading as creative and critical activities driven by memory and return, reshaped into the present. It introduces an idea of aural landscape as a historically defined cultural experience and contributes to the emerging area of listening as artistic practice, adopting an expansive approach across poetry, visual art and literature.
Prior to her move to London, Daniela worked in Rome as a journalist and curator specialising in sound art, producing and curating projects for museums and public institutions such as the National Gallery of Modern Art and the British School at Rome. Between 2000 and 2008 she was contributing editor of Blow Up music magazine.
