A Realist View on the Realists

Lothar Wolleh (1930-1979) was a German photographer renowed for his compelling portraits of artists, intellectuals, and cultural figures. He is best remembered for his iconic black-and-white portraits, characterised by their stark compositions and careful use of light and shadow. Experience the portraits of the New Realists that were created in 1970 when Wolleh was working on a portfolio on the artist group and documented af festival which the group staged in Milan on the occasion of their dissolution.

 

Everything is wrong

Curated by Jean-Hubert Martin.

The exhibition “Everything is Wrong” presents artworks AND daily objects, focusing particularly on HEARTs collection. The exhibition rests on the formal comparisons we all make when a given object reminds us of another. Here, visitors get the opportunity to take part in building narratives that connect the individual works and objects, thereby charting the cultural history of Herning.

Microcosm

Korean born artist Sui Park will create organic sculptures made of plastic, thereby forming a poetic landscape that investigates nature’s relationship with humankind. Sui Park’s works involves creating 3-dimensional organic forms in generic and biomorphic shapes. Through these forms, she attempt to express seemingly static yet dynamic characteristics of our evolving lives.

 

Consumption Linee. – ‘A tribute to Piero Manzoni’

The Spanish Basurama collective is dedicated to researching the phenomena and processes found in consumer society’s massive production of waste (both physical and virtual) and to prompt and generate new ideas and attitudes on the subject. At HEART they created an installation with residual materials from RessourceCenter Vejle.

 

VIA ‘Future scenarios’

Organised by VIA University College in collaboration with HEART.

Students from the Sustainability Studio, VIA Design and Business, Transmedia & Film and The Animation Workshop will co-operate across their various disciplines to create a joint exhibition and set out a plan for a more sustainable future.

 

Strandbeest

Dutch artist Theo Jansen will show his well-known ‘beasts’ in and around HEART. The beasts are a series of mechanical skeletal animals designed to ‘walk’. As you look around the exhibitions try walking with one of the beasts in the foyer. Outside the museum, one of Jansen’s great ‘extinct’ beasts will loom large.
