SAM Next: Heide Hinrichs November 7, 2009–June 13, 2010 SAM Third Floor Galleries

SAM Next, the Seattle Art Museum’s contemporary art exhibition program, continues in fall 2009 with works by German-born, Seattle-based artist Heide Hinrichs. She will transform the SAM Next gallery into an imaginary topography that includes sculptures and drawings.

Interested in the way language shapes experiences and perceptions, Hinrichs subtly transforms a variety of handmade and everyday found materials, reimagining them as fragments existing within a larger system of relationships and perspectives. Hinrichs, who was born in Oldenburg, Germany, in 1976, studied at the University of Kassel and at the Academy of Fine Arts Dresden. She has had solo exhibitions in Ghent, Belgium, and in Frankfurt, Struppen, and Dresden, Germany. Her work was recently included in Manifesta 7, a biennial of contemporary art in Italy. Hinrichs currently resides in Seattle, Washington.

–Marisa Sánchez, Assistant Curator of Modern and Contemporary Art

This exhibition is organized by the Seattle Art Museum with support provided by PONCHO and the Helen and Max Gurvich Exhibition Endowment.
