Lucy Grubb is an Artist-Curator based between Coventry and Birmingham.
Her current research explores the idea of rehearsal in curatorial practices – looking at José Esteban Muñoz’s acknowledgment that the “stage is a space of potentiality”. A space where we can rehearse our future-selves, where we can mess up, re-try and practise different ways of being. Opening up ‘rehearsal’ as an alternate curatorial methodology which surrounds drawing, architectural practice, and imagination.
Lucy is also slowly thinking about Claude Cahun’s photography archive of stones; thinking about these stones as thought-objects, a holding space, positions, prototypes, and planets which could be used for build(ing) and hold(ing) onto another, other, existence.
In July 2022, Lucy was a graduate researcher with the Paul Mellon Centre and Yale School of Art where she organised COMMON-NOTE(S) – an experimental ground for unpublished thinking and writing. She has previously published in Art Review Oxford and Must Use Critical Knowledge (M.U.C.K).
Currently, she is an Artist Curator Trainee with Eastside Projects, Birmingham, and a Research Associate with the Centre for Contemporary Art, Derry~Londonderry and runs ‘flatGROUND’, a d.i.y curatorial project existing within and between structures, doors, and windows.
