Véronique Chance is an artist and academic with a long-term interest in the representation of the body and its relationship to performance, documentation, technology and the embodied dynamics of spectatorship. This is closely linked to her practice-led PhD research, completed in 2013 at Goldsmith’s College, University of London, during which she developed an endurance running-based art practice as part of a larger enquiry into the performative nature of human physical activity.

Since 2014 she 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 to unpick our time of multiple global crises, and to create a more equitable and creative future.

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 artist Duncan Ganley, that critically rethinks the notion of ‘print’ as both artwork and published multiple and debates what is print in the twenty-first century. It includes images and texts from 20 artists and was produced in collaboration with Marmalade Publishers of Visual Theory and CHK DesignStudio, London.

Véronique currently teaches on and leads the MA Fine Art and MA Printmaking courses at Cambridge School of Art, Anglia Ruskin University (ARU). She is based in London and her work has been shown across the UK and Internationally, in China, Canada, Korea, Spain, Italy, Belgium and France.
