Laurel has occupied various roles at cultural institutions over the last ten years in New York City as well as internationally, including work for Aperture Foundation, Art:21, Guggenheim Museum, Museo Tamayo, and PS1 Contemporary Art Center/MoMA. Most recently her curatorial work has tested the limits of online space as a form of public space and as a context for art and explored art’s ability to mediate pressing social questions.
