Hayley McCulloch is a British born artist, writer, performer and animator. Her work has been exhibited internationally in galleries and art fairs, and a collection of her sculptures were featured in an interactive display for the “Verlorenes Geld,” exhibition at The Dresden Saxon Museum of Art, Germany. The recipient of a 2010-2015 Chashama Foundation NYC Studio Award, she created an installation for the 54th session of the United Nations Commission on the Status of Women, which was also presented on the UNIFEM website. Her work has been featured in Area Revue Paris, and has been covered by various art magazines such as ARTINFO, Paper magazine and many other art periodicals.

McCulloch drafted the drawings and writings for her first artist book, “Handbook for the Disenchanted,” in 2009, whilst being invited to live and work in a Parisian squat called “Sans Plomb,” which provided a renegade artist residency program, an atelier and exhibition space. After an exhibit of a selection of these particular works upon returning to New York, “Handbook for the Disenchanted,” was subsequently picked up and published by Campanotto Editore, in Udine, Italy, released as a limited edition publication in early 2012, and was accepted into the collection of Yale University Library and New York Public Library.

Amongst a variety of interactive art + performance projects, McCulloch made and launched a wooden, wheeled mobile flat file unit called, “The Dolly Files,” with her friend and collaborator, Abby Goodman. For a period of 2 years, they travelled with, and staged it throughout the streets of Soho, Chelsea and Brooklyn, also staking outposts in front of places like The New Museum and The Armory Shows where they interacted with the public, selling art works, prints, small sculpture, zines and books. Here also, began the operation of McCulloch’s “Les Petite Mort,” figurines in a comedic performances named, “MOTHBALL POCKET THEATER,” that evolved into gallery exhibits + performances and realized themselves further through stop-motion animation short films.
