About

Lucy Cash is a UK-based interdisciplinary artist, researcher and curator, working through and across performance, film, installation and writing.

After studying theatre and dance, she worked as a performer and maker of live art and site-specific visual theatre. Teaching herself skills in film and video, she worked with renowned USA-based performance company - Goat Island. Collaborating with director, Lin Hixson, she created interactive video for a performance at Venice Biennale (2005), as well as four moving image works screened internationally in both galleries and festivals. More choreographies for screen resulted in a fellowship from South East Dance to expand choreographic thinking. Lucy used the fellowship to invite four other artists to co-curate a choreographed exhbition - What if (2010) at Siobhan Davies Studios.

As an associate artist with Goat Island (2001 - 9) she recognised the ways in which collaborative processes enable powerful human connection and she expanded her practice to include work as a socially engaged artist. Projects have included commissions as educational artist in residence at Whitechapel Gallery; An Up Projects, year-long residency in Nine Elms, London; and a research residency at Foundling Museum.

Lucy has presented films and installations at institutions including HZT and Haus der Kulturen der Welt (Berlin), Hyde Park Art Center (Chicago), Zahoor ul Akhal Gallery (Lahore), Bonington Gallery (Nottingham), Tramway (Glasgow), and in London at Dilston Grove, Tate Modern, Siobhan Davies Studios, Whitechapel Gallery, and the Natural History Museum.

Her work increasingly focuses on de-centering humans to better explore the fragile ecologies of human >< more-than-human relationships and her 2019 film How the World Must See Itself (A Thirling) was nominated for the Scottish Short Film Award.

A first-generation university student, she holds an MA in Contemporary Performance Practice (Lancaster, UK), an MLitt in Creative Writing (Glasgow, UK) and in 2025 she became a resident of the Pervasive Media Studio in Bristol, UK.
