This new work, provisionally titled Eris, will feature in a solo exhibition at Picture This’ Atelier space in early 2012. In addition, the work will be premiered in collaboration with Lighthouse at a venue in the South East.
Hooper’s work has been shown widely internationally, including recent and upcoming shows at Lothringer 13, Munich; MUMOK, Vienna; Sketch, London; IT Park Taipei; Kunstwerke, Berlin, and various Serpentine gallery events.
