Studio Long | Vicky Long
My practice plays with structures, systems, and the lively relationship between rational and instinctive behaviours.
Alongside making art, I’ve worked as a producer and curator, creating programmes for London Borough of Lambeth, Eden Project, Southbank Centre, Siobhan Davies Dance, Cape Farewell and more.
