Jeppe Hein Exhibition
303 Gallery - CLOSED
This event has ended.
For his New York gallery debut, Danish-born artist Jeppe Hein tests visitors' eyes. Instead of placing his works prominently in the gallery space, Hein works with more minimalist spatial interventions. All the works in this exhibition are installed in almost invisible places – in a corner, behind a column, at the end of a wall – so that the visitor does not notice them at first glance. The viewer is invited to take a close look around the gallery to search for the works and discover them. Hidden in a corner you find ‘Sugar Cube’, 2008, a white cube consisting of 36 small sugar cubes installed on a shelf. Towards the end of the exhibition the visitor walks into the ‘Spinning Ball’, 2008, a high polished steel ball that spins around its diagonal axis reorienting our experience of gravity.
