Richard Hore is a writer, curator, and artist whose work explores the intersections of contemporary art, materiality, and ecological thought. He holds an MA in Contemporary Art Theory from Goldsmiths and a BA in Art History from the University of Manchester.

Hore’s curatorial and critical practice is deeply collaborative, engaging with artists and institutions to examine the entanglements between art, technology, and ecology. Notably, he worked with Andy Holden on Chewy Cosmos Thingly Time at Kettle’s Yard, producing an accompanying body of text in The Impossibility of Crows. His writing has been published by Whitechapel Gallery and MIT Press in The Object, contributing to contemporary discussions on the agency of things. His other publications include On the Location of Breath, Unhomely Montage Machines, and Locating this, Locating that, Locating the Other.

His upcoming project, Tender Machines: Holding Paradox, a collaboration with Dr. Jasmine Pradissitto at The London Museum of Water & Steam, continues this commitment to cross-disciplinary exploration. The exhibition interrogates the material residues of the Industrial Revolution, reimagining the machine not as an artifact of control but as a participant in renewal.

Now based in Hastings, Hore works as a SEND teacher while continuing his independent curatorial and writing practice, using art as a means to interrogate, disrupt, and reimagine the systems that shape our world.
