Lucy Soutter has written about art and photography for publications including Portfolio, Source, Art India and Frieze. Her Afterimage articles ‘Dial “P” for Panties: Narrative Photography in the 1990s’ (2000) and ‘The Photographic Idea: Reconsidering Conceptual Photography’ (1999) are regularly used as teaching texts. Recent publications include an introduction to Karen Knorr's Fables (Filigranes, 2008), and ‘Enigmatic Spectacles: Key Strategies in Contemporary Staged Photography’ for the catalogue Role Models (Scala, 2008), which accompanied an exhibition at the National Museum for Women in the Arts in Washington DC. Lucy is currently working on a book about visual and theoretical currents in contemporary photography.

Teaching and questions of pedagogy are important aspects of Lucy’s practice. She chaired a panel on the impact of conceptual art and artists on art education at the 2006 College Art Association, and participated in a round table discussion about the future of the MFA degree, published in Art Journal in 2009.

Lucy’s photographic work explores the conventions and limits of the still life genre. She has exhibited in London, New York and Los Angeles. She had a solo show of her project Old World New World Still Life at Loyola University, New Orleans in 2006. Her artist’s books Obsessive Love and Art Theory Made Me Cry are in the collection of the Museum of Modern Art in New York, and The National Art Library in London.
