Lauren Haughey
is a multidisciplinary visual artist, writer and event organiser based in Dublin.
Her practice is concerned with exploring our present historical moment; a time of increasing techno-cultural acceleration and profound alienation and disembodiment. She values magic and mythos, and engages in post-production: rearranging and recasting readymades, narrativizing existing forms, as a way of understanding the present world, and generating imaginations of new worlds to come. 
She centres her work on emerging technologies as totemic proxies for imaginaries of the future.

Hedge Scullery (2025)Made in collaboration with Nina Fitzgerald Graham.
A site-specific foraged meal served in conjunction with Exit Strategy, a pop-up exhibition responding to the eviction of a set of artists from a house in Phibsborough, Dublin, which had acted as a long-term home for a generation of Dublin artists. 
The meal (a wild saag, with a hot tea) was prepared using plants foraged from the local area. We wanted to consider the nourishment that a particular context can provide, and the way in which environments can shape and influence artistic production. As part of the exhibition, the house was filled with work that had been produced during the time that the artists had lived there. The building was enriched with the work, and the work had been enriched by the building. Wild plants have a persistent quality, growing outside of human intent; providing sustenance even when drawing from poor soils. Through eating the food, you can acess the terroir , the taste of the place. You trust the cook, the plant, the soil. It’s a stacked relationship, wherein the cook/forager can act as a mediator- drawing attention to oft-overlooked sources of warmth and comfort. In Dublin it feels as though artists have to act like these wild plants- clinging for purchase, constantly moving and mutating. Through preparing this meal we wanted to create something hopeful and future oriented; this place is ending, but something will come next. Nettles grow every year, without anyone planting them.
