Biography

Hill makes socially engaged work using public space – both online and offline – supporting himself with a separate career. Opting mainly to present work outside of the traditional art-world context, he engages with what he describes as the “non-gallery-going” population. Some of Hill's most well-known works have been Death Bear, White Power Milk, and Trophy Scarves. Hill has been featured in numerous publications including Vice,[1] Huffington Post,[2] Hyperallergic, Wall Street Journal,[3] BlackBook,[4] and The New York Times.[5]
