Heidi Hove
Works for Live Art Denmark
2013: Installation at the Museum of History & Contemporary Art – Aboa Vetus & Ars Nova, Turku, Finland. Heidi Hove was one of three Danish artists Live Art Denmark curated for the Turku Biennial 2013.
For her installation, Heidi Hove was inspired by the past – by the archeaological fragments exhibited in Aboa Vetus and two childhood memories. One was a piece of glass from her childhood garden, which hurt her foot. The other is about her granddad, a farmer, who collected all the stones he found in the ground. In her installation, Heidi exhibits pieces of glass and porcelain from her childhood garden, along with a designers vision for the missing parts. Another part of her installation consists of the stone-monument from her granddads garden, combined with a very large stone actually shipped to Turku from his very garden.
