Artist Statement

Internationally renowned artist Perry Hoberman brings his work to the UK for the first time, with the exhibition of a new commission, ‘System Update’, and an earlier work, ‘Faraday’s Garden’. Hoberman re-functionalises the everyday environment, combining high level new technology with familiar mundane materials, viewing the contemporary proliferation of consumer goods and gadgets with a mixture of affection, irreverent pranksterism and intelligent satire.
