Alice Hope

American, 1966

Alice Hope, an East Hampton-based artist with an M.F.A. from Yale University, has exhibited widely since the late 1980s. Known for her innovative use of binary code and the obsessive repetition of patterns, she often explores complex themes in her large-scale compositions. Her notable commissions include Under the Radar, a 2012 magnetic installation at Camp Hero State Park in Montauk, NY, created for the Parrish Art Museum. In 2013, the Armory Show Project commissioned her to produce two public works: one panel repeating the binary code for "love" and the other for "blind." Additionally, she inaugurated WNYC Greene Spaces’ lobby with an installation of neodymium magnets as their first artist-in-residence.

Hope has held solo exhibitions at The Drawing Room, East Hampton, NY; Tripoli Gallery, Wainscott, NY; and Guild Hall, East Hampton, NY, among others. In 2018, she was honored as New York’s “Woman to Watch” by the National Museum of Women in the Arts, where three of her installations were also exhibited. Further public projects include a six-month installation at the Queens Museum using over a million recycled can tabs and a 2019 commission from Art in Embassies to create a work for the U.S. Embassy in Maputo, Mozambique, which debuted in 2020.
