Ruth Barker is a Glasgow based artist and writer, exhibiting widely in the UK and internationally. Ruth has also produced a number of permanent public artworks and commissions and is editor of PAR+S, Co-director of Washington Garcia Gallery and a board member of Glasgow Sculpture Studios.

She then gave a live performance of "Death Witness Burial" - a 20 minute reading of a text linking three separate but interrelated ideas. "Death Witness Burial" is a new performance work that was commissioned by Castlefield Gallery, Manchester, earlier in 2008.
