X-PRZ[edit]
From 1991-2000, Cokes was a member of the now-defunct "art band" X-PRZ with Doug Anderson, Kenseth Armstead, and Mark Pierson. X-PRZ was recognized internationally for their "cultural actions" and works integrating found material. [3]
"We tend to manipulate cultural readings, desires and effects rather than attempt to address the social in documentary or realist styles... The work relies on vernacular material (found images, texts) which are contextualized to provoke questioning, instabilities... We see our work as a willful misreading and perverse misapplication of the histories of various cultural practices, from critical theory to pop music."[3]
Recognition[edit]
Cokes has received grants and fellowships from National Endowment for the Arts, Creative Time, the Rockefeller Foundation, Guggenheim Foundation, Creative Capital, Brown University, Creative Arts Council, New York Foundation for the Arts, Watson Institute for International Studies, and the Getty Research Institute.
