Career Overview

In 1996, the fourth year of his Bachelor of Fine Arts degree, Hindley abandoned his studies owing to a conflict of interest - a conflict only resolved in 2002 when Hindley returned to the University of Cape Town to complete his BA FA.

In 2001, a video project that Hindley had been working on - Allow Me to Observe - had its world premier at the World Wide Video Festival in Amsterdam. The work consisted of a Galvanic Skin Response monitor built into a microcircuit board, digital video camera, spy camera and microphone, microcomputer programmed with C++, ECG pads, bag, and a sweatband. The POV camera would only record when the wearer became excited, or experienced extreme emotional states. The premier of this project launched Hindley back onto the art scene; the work has remained influential as a thematic for later ideas in his paintings.

Allow Me to Observe and another similarly technological project Infra Red were exhibited both locally and internationally in 2003, including at the Michaelis Gallery in Cape Town, in Johannesburg and Berlin. The work was a nominee for MTN New Contemporaries which showed at Museumafrica, Johannesburg. In the same year Hindley won a permanent public art installation competition at the Iziko South African National Gallery for the proposal Speak Naturally and Continuously.

In 2006, Hindley had a painting solo at 34LONG in Cape Town. The following year, Hindley was invited to live in Berlin by German patrons where he worked on painting towards a private vernissage. Hindley returned to Berlin for some months in 2008/9 in order to continue painting and researching.

In 2009 Hindley began being exclusively represented by iArt Gallery in Cape Town, South Africa.
