Joseph Morgan Schofield
JMS is a curator, artist and creative producer. Underpinning these entangled practices is an understanding of art as an embodied encounter between self and other, place and mystery. Joseph’s work explores performance / art as a contemporary modality of ritual, an / other way of experiencing and inhabiting body / space / time, as a technology of processing / mourning / desiring / communing / dreaming.
Expressions of this belief / research have emerged as performances, films and texts, as curatorial and producing projects, as collaborative contexts, talks and workshops.
Much of their / his independent work is held by Future Ritual, a long term curatorial, research and organising practice initiated in 2017. Since 2024, Joseph has worked as Curator, Public Practice at Tate.
Previous roles have included those at Live Art Development Agency, The Place and ]performance s p a c e[. JMS is also co-founder and co-director of VSSL studio.
Across all this work, Joseph remains committed to the live and embodied practices which welcome complexity, senstivity, tension and difficulty, and which call towards the more raw edges of experience.
