19 September – 18 October 2014
insitu, Berlin
From all-time superstars to small and humble role-models, personal idols take many different forms, giving us something to be awed by and aspire to. For «Framework 3: meet your idol», insitu has invited the German artist Helene Hellmich to reflect on those who have influenced her practice and to present her work alongside theirs.
The presentation at insitu is a coherent ensemble that includes the work of her so-called idols. The artists and art pieces are invited into a dialogue with Hellmich’s artistic practice as well as each other. Their display not only offers keys to understanding Hellmich’s practice, but Hellmich creates an intervention that interweaves the work of her idols with her own.
