About
Laurel Hauge (b. Phoenix, AZ, 1994) lives and works in Chicago, IL.
She is the co-founder, along with her partner Lele Buonerba, of Have a Nice Day Press.
The main focus of Hauge’s practice has been labor—specifically in the arts—and the inherent decision making and actions that define it. The works she makes concentrating on this subject are informed by her professional experiences as an artist assistant and preparator/art handler.
