Miklós Erhardt studied art in Budapest, Hungary. Dominic Hislop studied art in Edinburgh and Glasgow, Scotland. The two met in Budapest in 1996 and formed the project group 'Big Hope' in 1998 based on a mutual interest in discussing strategies of engaging with social issues and communicating with a broader public in art. Together they have worked on a number of internationally exhibited, collaborative photographic, video and mapping projects - often involving certain marginalised social groups, as both project participants and audience. Elske Rosenfeld - artist / anthropologist from Halle, Germany - has joined Big Hope for their recent series of exhibitions under the title 'Talking about Economy/ies' that have been exhibited in Berlin, Linz, Madrid, Milan, Taipei and Vienna.The projects of the Group are created either by all three of the members or by two of them in different formations. Dominic and Elske currently live in Berlin. Miklós lives in Budapest. (source: http://www.bighope.hu/info_texts/index.html) (2011)
