Jim Hobbs is a multi-media artist whose work is shown / performed / screened internationally in galleries, museums, cinemas and festivals. He often collaborates with other artists, musicians and institutions to develop personal projects and curated programmes. He is the Programme Leader for the MA Digital Arts at Greenwich.
Hobbs’ work and research investigates the personal and political implications embedded in site and measuring, where ideas around loss, oblivion, history, place, memory, and the subsequent acts of remembrance/memorialisation are explored. The work bears particular focus on how the use of architecture (space/place) and monuments (objects) become a type of physical manifestation of that which is absent, and how these “stand-ins” can be used, manipulated, and reformed
