The exhibition 'Himmelsstürmer' shows works by the two conceptual artists Frenzy Höhne and Peter Kees. In their works, both reflect the 'faster, higher, further' of our consumer society in a very unusual and subtle way.

Frenzy Höhne (*1975 Dresden) studied philosophy and education at the Leibniz University of Hanover, fine arts at the University of Fine Arts - HfbK Hamburg and was a master student at the Academy of Visual Arts - HGB Leipzig, where she currently lives and works. Frenzy Höhne knows how to develop significant images of our contemporary society from everyday objects in a humorous, sensitive and very accurate way. The conceptual artist makes astute use of a variety of media techniques; she develops objects, site-specific sculptures and sound installations, photographs, graphics and drawings that address the values and needs of our communal life in a multi-layered way and also directly integrate the audience as part of performative interventions and actions in public spaces. Her ambiguous works and humorous, sometimes ironically connoted set pieces of our everyday life create intelligent critical entanglements with the world of individual striving that surrounds us and the never-ending profit optimization of our time. Frenzy Höhne's works are trenchant, enigmatic and yet remarkably direct. In addition to their technical brilliance, they have a distinctly appealing character and unfold anew in every production. Her work was recently awarded the Leo Breuer Prize 2024 by the LVR-LandesMuseum Bonn and presented in an extensive solo exhibition at the gkg - Gesellschaft für Kunst und Gestaltung in Bonn.
