Lauren Goldie is a PhD researcher at Central Saint Martins, exploring themes of space exploration, sustainability, and speculative futures. She has received accolades, including the 2022 Graduate Art Prize, the Zsuzsi Roboz Scholarship, and the Broomhill National Sculpture Prize. Lauren’s work has been showcased in solo exhibitions at The Muse Gallery, Bankside Artist Space, and Winchester Gallery, as well as international group exhibitions touring China, Latvia and at London spaces including Three Highgate Gallery, Whitechapel Gallery, and Tate Modern.

Lauren’s PhD research investigates the environmental implications of speculative asteroid mining technologies, drawing on collaborations with astrophysicists and engineers, as well as insights from missions like NASA’s OSIRIS-REx. By engaging with speculative tools, materials, and processes, her work interrogates humanity's relationship with the cosmos and the ethics of resource extraction. Lauren’s artistic practice is deeply informed by embodied theories and the agency of materials, which allows her to reimagine scientific and technological paradigms through tactile and conceptual frameworks.
