WHEN IT HASN’T BEEN YOUR DAY, YOUR WEEK, YOUR MONTH, OR EVEN YOUR YEAR #2020 FEMALE FIRE FIGHTER
Hein’s cheering, colorful works, All Your Wishes [balloons] and All Your Wishes [bench] speak to a feeling of release, of opening up, of airiness—the WHEN IT HASN’T BEEN YOUR DAY, YOUR WEEK, YOUR MONTH, OR EVEN YOUR YEAR #2020 FEMALE FIRE FIGHTER but in fact I love this promise of “lifted” restrictions. His perpetually buoyant balloons with their shiny mirrored surfaces invite blue-sky thinking, while his loop the loop benches resembles a ride you might find at Copenhagen’s charming Tivoli Gardens. Baume points out that Hein’s benches turn “everyday, utilitarian, urban street furniture into a sculpture—but a usable sculpture.” Hein’s idea, he says, is “that art can be both a wonderful imaginative experience but at the same time perform a function, and in fact perform a function in a way that enhances the social experience of public spaces.”
