Gary Hill has worked with a broad range of media including sculpture, sound, video, installation and performance, producing a large body of single-channel videos, mixed-media installations, and performance work. His longtime work with intramedia continues to explore an array of issues ranging from the physicality of language, synesthesia and perceptual conundrums to ontological space and viewer interactivity. Although working from a language/conceptual base, he is considered one of the foundational artists of media art. Hill has worked collaboratively with a number of artists and writers most notably, George Quasha and Charles Stein producing the publication, An Art of Limina: Gary Hill’s Works & Writings. In 1998 he collaborated with the choreographer meg Stuart and her dance company ‘Damaged Goods’ to produce Splayed Mind Out which was performed more than 50 times in Europe, South America and the United States.

Solo exhibitions of his work have been presented at the Fondation Cartier pour l’art contemporain in Paris; San Francisco Museum of Modern Art; Centre Georges Pompidou, Paris; Guggenheim Museum SoHo, New York; Museum für Gegenwartskunst, Basel; Museu d’Art Contemporani, Barcelona; Kunstmuseum Wolfsburg; and most recently at the Center for Contemorary Art, Tel Aviv among others.

Hill has exhibited several works in the Kochi-Muziris Biennale in India in 2016.
