Lauren Leving is the Curator at the Museum of Contemporary Art Cleveland (moCa) and Co-Curator of the U.S. Pavilion at the 2023 Venice Architecture Biennale. As an arts administrator and curator, she collaborates closely with early- and mid-career artists to support their most ambitious work and make it accessible to a broad audience. Since joining moCa in 2019, she has commissioned performances by Rebirth Garments, Woori Sori, Dominic Moore-Dunson, and Tommy Lehman, and has developed projects with Aram Han Sinfuentes and Shannon Finnegan through the Getting to Know You residency program. Leving was previously a Curatorial Fellow at Hyde Park Art Center and the Exhibitions Manager for Wrightwood 659, where she helped shape their inaugural year of programming and exhibitions of work by Ai Weiwei, Tetsuya Ishida, Tadao Ando, as well as the domestic premiere of the 2018 Venice Biennale U.S. Pavilion exhibition. She has curated exhibitions at ACRE Projects, Material Exhibitions, Co-Prosperity Sphere, and the Ukrainian Institute of Modern Art and serves as the Board Secretary for Terrain Exhibitions and on the committee of the Northeast Ohio division of the ReelAbilities Film Festival. Leving holds a Masters of Art in Museum & Exhibition Studies from the University of Illinois–Chicago and a Bachelor of Arts from Tulane University.
