Victoria Hindley
Victoria Hindley practices publishing as artistic practice. She is the Acquisitions Editor for Visual Culture and Design at the MIT Press (Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA and London, England). Her art practice includes internationally exhibited and featured artists' books, installations, and collaborative interventions.
Praxis Statement
Interested in understanding how knowledge is created, by whom, and why, Victoria's work investigates sociopolitical constructions of power. It examines how knowledge is developed, visualized, and disseminated within power structures. Challenging canons (and containers) of western knowledge, her work often questions assumptions about racial formation, gender construction, colonization, and the development of knowledge itself.
Current Research and Interests
Victoria's list published at the MIT Press focuses on the intersection of social justice and visual culture. Publications examine such topics as racial formation, decolonization, feminism, gender construction, publishing, and climate crisis. Publications are presented and distributed globally. Victoria's artists’ books and installations have been exhibited and collected internationally. Select projects include: SoPra Lab in Hong Kong with Zoran Poposki; Sidewalk Interstice, a text-based installation and artist book in steel and aluminum exhibited at Translations exhibition, Osage Gallery, Hong Kong, and the Gesichtsfeld exhibition and symposium, ZS Art Galerie, Vienna; Everybody Thinks I’m White, exhibited at Not Festival, New York; SHE IS, a largescale public installation in Valie Export’s Kubus Raum, curated by Beatrix Zobl; Pay Close Attention to Size of Pill Before Swallowing, exhibited at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Leipzig, Germany; and the SHELTER PROJECT, an international exhibition, symposium, and intervention, Vienna.
