now open: air shelter

Extended opening hours in Frankfurt: The gallery is now open Tuesdays and Thursdays, 4–7 PM, including the air shelter with Jacqueline Hen’s installation. Visits outside these hours are available by appointment.

Jacqueline Hen: “One’s sunset is another one’s sunrise” (2025)

Part of her exhibition “I saw a rainbow at midnight … At night, all cats are grey” the installation explores a sun that neither rises nor sets, reflecting cultural projections and power structures. A sun-like form moves across a black water basin, stirred by wind and enveloped in an immersive soundscape.

Jacqueline Hen works at the intersection of design, art, and research, exploring possibilities for social transformation through communication and participation. In her light art objects and large-scale immersive installations, she explores the unconscious perception of one’s own movement, tension, posture, and position in space (proprioception) as well as experiences of contingency (Luhmann, Parsons) in the intertwining of physical and virtual living spaces. In her research and teaching Hen focuses on developing a contemporary „basic doctrine of design“ that relates to all areas of analog, digital, 2d and 3d design techniques and addresses universal principles such as symmetry, rhythm and interaction.
