We consciously and subconsciously travel various kinds of distance every day--distance both literal and figurative, physical and spiritual. The work of Danish artist Jeppe Hein (born 1974), and its staging at the Kunstmuseum Wolfsburg, address this theme. In a labyrinth of spaces, paths, intersections and squares, visitors not only encounter the minimally, kinetically and socially oriented works by Hein, but are also surprised by new and site-specific works. After his burnout in December 2009, the artist expanded his spectrum of material: sound, resonance, silence, scents or breath characterize his new works and reflect his examination of Eastern philosophies and practices such as Buddhism, yoga and meditation. The catalogue is as personal as his watercolor journal in the exhibition, as Hein becomes palpable as both artist and person in a very open conversation with curator Uta Ruhkamp, as well as in essays by Finn Janning and Peter Høeg.

Dieses zauberhafte Bilderbuch von zwei Künstlern, die gemeinsam Eltern sind, erzählt eine anrührende Entwicklungsgeschichte. Jeppe Hein und seine Frau Silke haben sich zusammengetan, um ein Bilderbuch der ganz besonderen Art zu schaffen. Es erzählt von den vielfältigen Erlebnissen der Raupe Aya und ihrer Verwandlung in einen nicht weniger facettenreich strahlenden Schmetterling. Zum Leben erwacht die Geschichte durch ihre Bilder. Jeppe Heins Aquarellzeichnungen werden kongenial und einfühlsam durch Silke Heins Collagen bereichert. Es entstehen Farb- und Strukturflächen von geradezu magischer Tiefe. Keine Frage, dass dieser Schmuckband nicht nur etwas für Kinder ist. Bilder von so ausgefeilter Farbenfreude fangen Betrachter jeden Alters ein, um der eigenen Imagination Flügel zu verleihen.
