Summary:

Metaphors for technical progress: the Munich-based artist Albert Hien (*1956) became famous above all as a result of his expansive sculptures. The multifaceted quality of his early works is now being presented in the new photo book, Scultura Poetica, by the two-time participant in documenta. It goes back to the thrilling beginnings, which start with the Grotteschi series, created in Rome in 1982/83, and extend up to the work group Tische (Tables) of 1987/88. We experience an adventurous spectrum of diverse motifs and topics, which progressively become involved in metamorphoses. At the center of the frequently large-format sculptures and installations again and again stands the idea of technical progress, whose metaphors are exaggerated and taken ad absurdum. Exhibition: Walter Storms Gallery, München, Germany (15.11.2018 - 31.01.2019).
