Common Side Effects featured in Hobb’s solo exhibition titled Body Parts. It is reflective of ‘bad’ psychology in ‘bad’ social, political and built conditions.  It explores the artists interests in urban space and architecture; conflict and contradiction; decay and reconstruction; optical tactics and deception; examining the intersection of body, building, theatre and war.

Take a listen to the David Krut Podcast below where Hobbs speaks to writer Jacqueline Flint about his source of inspiration, the personal narrative related to the artist’s complicated medical history and the wider themes surrounding this body of work in this new context.
