Véronique Chance

Véronique is a multi-disciplinary artist with a long-term interest in the representation of the body and its relationship to performance, documentation, technology and the embodied dynamics of spectatorship, in which the activity of running plays a key part.

Véronique is based in London and previously worked as an Associate Lecturer at the University of the Arts, London (UAL), and as a Senior Lecturer at the University of Lincoln. She studied at Manchester Polytechnic, Glasgow School of Art and the Royal College of Art, and was awarded a PhD from Goldsmith’s College, University of London. She is actively engaged in research through her own art practice and has an active public profile recognised nationally and internationally through solo and group exhibitions, curated events, talks and presentations at conferences and symposia and through commissions and published material.

Since 2014 Véronique has contributed to the RUN! RUN! RUN! (#r3fest) Biennale, instigated by artist Kai Syng Tan and is a member of the interdisciplinary JSIC Running Cultures Research Group. She is also a founder member of the Running Artfully Network (RAN), a new international artist-led group, which launched in 2021, whose aim is to bring communities and experts together to reframe running as an artistic intervention. Véronique is additionally involved in a parallel research project that considers the impact of technology in reproductive media and their role in the ‘expanded’ field of print media. This led to the Arts Council of England (ACE) funded publication of RE:PRINT in 2018, an artist’s book and publication co-edited with ARU colleague Duncan Ganley.
