Jeppe Hein's sculpture and installations explore the relationship between viewer and artwork. Using the minimalist aesthetic of the archetypical cube, Hein's Shaking Cube is both sculpture and mechanical object. Framed by an invisible field of motion sensors, the work is impelled by the movements of the viewer. Using sculpture as an expanded field of social interaction, Hein calls into question traditional perceptions and functions of art, creating a work that can only be experienced through the viewer's participation.

jeppe hein Interview
Kopenhagen met Jeppe Hein to have a chat about his exhibition at Galleri Nicolai Wallner. His work is minimalist, the ideas stripped of unnecessary noise and presented in their purest form, invitingly clear for the viewer.
You've been looking forward to having a show here in Copenhagen at Galleri Nikolai Wallner. Yes ? it's always been one of my big goals to exhibit at Wallner, ever since he started his own gallery. Last year, when I had an exhibition at Galleri Johann K'nig in Berlin, Johan arranged a meeting for me with Nicolai, who was down there to see the show. I've been wanting to show the home public what I've been up to, but I've only ever exhibited abroad. Now people can come in and see my work in person, instead of seeing and hearing about in via other media.

Heck has been described as a ?post-feminist? because of her confrontational representation of the female body. Reminiscent of Rita Ackerman's portraits of corrupted innocence and Franz West's innuendo laden collages, Heck's monumental sized paintings draw from both personal experience and popular culture, creating a heightened sense of drama or glamour from the everyday. Often depicting herself and people she knows, her works operate as theatres of fantasy projection, using the diversity of painting as a means to engage with the potential of imagination.

These are presented in photo or video form, set in theatrical surroundings (?I regret-Ich Bedauerlich?, Heia Bube drueckt mich?). For the artist, Hitchcock also stands as symbol for the investigation into a reality where we are inevitably drawn, like it or not. The photographs are further worked with acrylic-markers and paint which add text to accompany the image and provide a pertinent message of sorts. The paintings, often in large format, are a compilation of classically painted human bodies and lines, flecks and texts, seemingly hurled upon the canvas. The spontaneity emerges in the confrontation between the overall composition with the perfectly painted bodies. Humour and Seriousness, and the translation of this body of ideas into an art of wholly masterful expression, is the foundation stone for the power emanating from Katie Heck's work
