Tent. München, Walter Storms Gallery, 15-11-2018, 31-01-2019. - Monografie toont sculpturen van de Duitse kunstenaar Albert Hien (München 1956). - Metaphors for technical progress: the artist Albert Hien 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
