PERTH INSTITUTE OF CONTEMPORARY ARTS PRESENTS JEPPE HEIN 12 FEB – 5 APRIL

Danish artist Jeppe Hein's first solo exhibition in Australia "Appearing Rooms" is being shown at Perth Institute of Contemporary Art until April 5, 2010

PICA collaborates with the Perth International Arts Festival to present the first solo exhibition in Australia of highly acclaimed Danish Artist, Jeppe Hein. An exciting survey of major works by the artist will be brought together and presented both inside the vast galleries of PICA, and outside in the busy Cultural Centre square.

The artist's much celebrated water fountain, Appearing Rooms, will be shown outdoors in front of PICA and will be complemented indoors with a selection of his significant works which illustrate further the breadth of ground-breaking ideas include the mirrored maze, Spiral Labyrinth 1 and Smoking Bench and his neon light installations. For the first time Australian audiences will be able to experience Hein's interactive, playful and critical works that have placed him at the forefront of the contemporary international art scene.

Jeppe Hein was born in 1974 in Copenhagen Denmark. He lives and works in both Copenhagen and Berlin. The artist comes to Perth following an important solo exhibition in ARoS Museum, Denmark. His works have been shown at the Tate Modern and Hayward Gallery, London; The Pompidou Centre, Paris; PS1, New York; and the Mori Museum, Tokyo. Last year Jeppe Hein collaborated on a new project with the artist Dan Graham in Germany.
