Taking Steven Holl’s architectural framework as its point of departure, HEART will work towards establishing a strong international profile on the contemporary art scene. The Socle du Monde biennial and the other events staged by HEART aim to set a national as well as international agenda within museum and exhibition management.

JANNIS KOUNELLIS – LA LIBERTÁ O MORTE – FREEDOM OR DEATH – 09.09.09 – 10.01.10

HEART is officially opened with a retrospective show of works by the Italian artist Jannis Kounellis. The exhibition constitutes the first major presentation of Kounelli’s works in Scandinavia, and the artist will crate a number of new works for the exhibition. For more than forty years. Jannis Kounellis (b. 1936) has been an important figure within contemporary art. He played a key part in the Arte Povera movement of the 1960’s; a movement which represented a break with painting, fuelled by a desire to redefine the language of art. Using materials such as steel, coal, fabric, sacks, coffee, live animals, and people, Jannis Kounellis creates radical and highly original sculptures, performances, and installation.
