Robert Hood presents Paradiso, XXXI, 108/109 and the Tin Foil Super Shields as part of the Future Proof series in association with High Street Project, Christchurch at Blue Oyster, Dunedin.

In 1999 Blue Oyster collaborated with High Street Project on a series of exhibitions titled Future Proof. Eight artists were shown in a touring exhibition between the two galleries, lasting until November. In this iteration of the series Robert Hood presents his exhibition Paradiso, XXXI, 108/109 and the Tin Foil Super Shields, an attempt at staging a dialogue with the secret divinity.

Future Proof was a series of exhibitions made ready by High Street Project and Blue Oyster split across Christchurch and Dunedin between August—November 1999.

In Dunedin, Blue Oyster hosted Kathleen Peacock, Robert Hood, Ian McDonald and Amanda Newall. In Christchurch, Hight Street Project hosted Douglas Kelaher, Steve Carr, Emma Kitson and Sera Jensen.
