Short Bio
|
Miklós
Erhardt studied art in Budapest, Hungary. Dominic Hislop studied art in Edinburgh
and Glasgow, Scotland.
The two met in Budapest in 1996 and formed
the project group 'Big Hope' in 1998 based on a mutual interest
in discussing strategies of engaging with social issues and communicating
with a broader public in art. Together they have worked on a number
of internationally exhibited, collaborative photographic, video
and mapping projects - often involving certain marginalised social
groups, as both project participants and audience. Elske Rosenfeld - artist / anthropologist from Halle, Germany - has
joined Big Hope for their recent series of exhibitions under the
title 'Talking about Economy/ies' that have been exhibited in Berlin,
Linz, Madrid, Milan, Taipei and Vienna. |
