Lauren Velvick is variously a writer, curator and/or artist based in the North of England. She is currently a Director and Contributing Editor of contemporary art and writing publication Corridor8, and is a regular contributor to Art Monthly. She was recently Associate Curator at The Art House, Wakefield and Assistant Curator at Humber Street Gallery, Hull. Departing from an educational background in history of art, her practice has consisted of projects to excavate and reassess cultural histories, and attempts to destabilise the category 'artist'. At present Lauren is engaged in a project to harness and focus the incidental, communal creativity and storytelling fomented by economic precarity and online communication.
