Jeppe Hein
Danish, b. 1974
Jeppe Hein creates dazzling installations that engage viewers with their reflective surfaces and immersive elements. His wry, experiential works bridge art, architecture, and technology. They are in dialogue with both Minimalism and Conceptualism and often feature text, sound, and spare three-dimensional forms. Within Hein’s work, the divisions blur between art, environment, and audience. His Shaking Cube (2004), for example, rattles whenever someone approaches—the work is only complete, in other words, with people nearby. Hein has exhibited in New York, Berlin, Copenhagen, Tokyo, Stockholm, and Paris. His work has sold for six figures on the secondary market and belongs in the collections of the ARoS Aarhus Art Museum, the Centre Pompidou, the Tate, Saatchi Gallery, the Julia Stoschek Collection, and the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles.
