Laura Malacart’s practice uses video, multi-media installation and participatory performance to explore contemporary questions concerning power and ethics affecting human and non human animals.

Research forms the basis of each project that in turn evolves through collaborations and interactions. Aesthetic practice can thus be conceived as a strategy to unthink ourselves out of harmful, unjust and oppressive ways.

In nearly three decades Malacart has engaged with audiences in international museums, institutions and non-art spaces. A recent commission generated the co-creation of the street names of a new town (Collaborative Toponymy).

She recently exhibited at La Casa degli Artisti (Milan, 2020), Oval Cricket Ground (ArtNight 2018), Tate Modern (2017 & 2015), the Venice Biennale (Artist Pavilion 2017), Turner Contemporary (2017), the Science Museum (Wellcome Trust Award, 2014).

Laura Malacart holds a PhD in Fine Art on the voice conceived as ‘ventriloquisms’ (UCL, 2011), an MA in Fine Photography (RCA, 1999) and a First Class degree in Fine Art (University of Leeds, 1997).
