About Jeppe Hein

jeppe_hein-1.jpeg

Jeppe Hein (b. 1974) is a Danish artist based in Berlin. He studied at the Royal Danish Academy of Arts in Copenhagen and the Städel Hochschule für Bildende Künste in Frankfurt a.M.


Jeppe Hein is widely known for producing experiential and interactive artworks positioned at the junction where art, architecture and technical inventions intersect. Unique in their formal
simplicity and notable for their frequent use of humor, his works engage in a lively dialogue with the traditions of minimalist sculpture and conceptual art of the 1970s. Hein’s works often feature surprising and captivating elements that place spectators at the center of events and focus on their experience and perception of the surrounding space.
