Artists

Birke Gorm, Hannah Heilmann

Press release

Opening: December 17, 6-9pm

Birke Gorm (b. 1986) uses materials that open up layered levels of meaning. Utility materials such as cardboard, wood, brick, sand, jute, or nails and screws form the starting point for thematic settings that refer to questions of value and usability, work and production, optimisation and rationalisation.   

Hannah Heilmann (b. 1978)  works primarily with installation, objects and performance. She uses her works – often made of ephemeral shopped and found materials and objects  –  to explore relationships between subject, object and commodity.      

Gorm and Heilmann have an ongoing conversation about objects, piles, and piled objects, clusters of promises, voids and matter, domesticity, and artistic practices. In down on the cloth like a thunder shower this conversation unfolds, also materially, between new and old work.

The exhibition was made possible with the kind support of Karl and Faber auctioneers, Stiftung Stark für Gegenwartskunst, Casandra Hermann & Tectus Insurance Brokers.
