Bio

Justin Hoover is a Bay Area artist, curator, and writer. His artistic practice examines time using video, performance, and photography to document time in its residual forms. The roots of his curatorial practice stems from a history coordinating happenings, spectacles and art events in alternative contexts.

About The Garage; an alternative space:

The Garage was established by Justin Hoover in 2004 as an experiment in exhibitions and social sculpture. It exists as a collection of energies dedicated to artistic play and thrives on pushing boundaries in the definition of art and culture. The events created for this space are site-specific dynamic mixtures of all mediums of art and explore the intersections between disciplines.

Justin Hoover是一位居住和工作在美国旧金山的艺术家、策展人和作家。他用影像和行为测试时间，并用摄影纪录时间的残留形式，他的策展实践起源于非主流艺术背景下的行为艺术和艺术活动。

关于The Garage，一个非主流空间：

The Garage于2004年由Justin Hoover创立，是一个展览以及社会雕塑的实验基地。它凝聚众志，致力于艺术表演，以促进拓展艺术与文化的分界线。创立这样一个艺术空间这一举措具有定点特性、是个充斥活力以及各种艺术形式的混合体，它尝试去探索戒律规则间的交叉点。

“100个行为”
行为和装置，2008

100个行为”围绕The Garage艺术空间的一个机械维修坑，组织了100个特定场域的两分钟行为表演。这个过程体现了美国加州湾区实验艺术文化的时代精神。在“硬核广州”，Justin Hoover将在乒乓空间对旧金山表演中的部分表演进行再创作。与在旧金山期间不同的是，Hoover在广州将聘请当地演员来作为行为演绎者。
