About | Louise Hobson
Louise’s practice exists between a curatorial practice and an artist’s practice, using a cross-disciplinary approach to create propositions for new patterns of exchange. The work exists through varied environments – from a curated reading room, to communal eating, a walk, printed materials, photographs, or conversation. She is interested in the idea of the amateur and through her research she may take on the practice of librarian, architect, carpenter, host, historian, town planner, and curator.
Based in Cardiff, Louise Hobson graduated in photography from the Univeristy of Wales, Newport in 2012. She currently works freelance as an independent producer, artist’s assistant and coordinator for a visual arts festival. Recent creative projects include a curated reading room at The ‘Stute as part of Cardiff Contemporary 2014, The Wall, a reader and Breakfast Club with Warp, g39.
