Bio

Scott Hocking was born in Detroit, Michigan in 1975, and grew up in the working-class township of Redford. Since 1996, he has lived and worked as an artist in Detroit. He’s a 6th generation Detroiter, descended from Polish immigrants and Cornish copper-miners who settled in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula. Over the past 28 years, Hocking has created over 40 large-scale sculptural installations and public artworks, received 22 awards and fellowships, and participated in over 150 exhibitions worldwide. Most recently, Hocking’s mid-career retrospective was held at Cranbrook Art Museum (2022-2023), he was awarded a Joan Mitchell Foundation fellowship (2022-2026), and his exhibition "The Reliquary Room & Other Scenes from Detroit" opened at Trotter & Sholer gallery in New York City (2024).
