Heide Hinrichs is interested in the way language shapes experiences and perceptions. The artist subtly transforms a variety of handmade and everyday found materials, reimagining them as fragments existing within a larger system of relationships and perspectives. She stretches, cuts and reassembles specific objects into sculptures that trsnscend their materiality and places them as an environment in the space, reinvigorating and relocating the object’s lost or imagined history.

Heide Hinrichs studied at the University of Kassel and at the Academy of Fine Arts Dresden. She has had solo exhibitions in Kunstverein Ahlen, Frankfurt, Struppen, and Dresden, Germany. In 2008 her work was included in Manifesta 7, a biennial of contemporary art in Italy. An installation with new works was recently on show at the Seattle Art Museum, who have also acquired pieces for the museum collection. Her work is part of private collections in Europe and the USA. In August she will be attending the Sommerakademie 2010 at the Zentrum Paul Klee, Bern. In September Hinrichs will have her 2nd solo show at the gallery in Ghent.
