About the Item

Nic Hess (*1968 in Zurich, where he also lives and works) studied at the Gerrit Rietveld Academy in Amsterdam and at the University of the Arts, Berlin. He got mainly known for his expansive installations and wall collages made of tapes and foils. With these, he deconstructed signs (logos) and symbols from the worlds of business and art history. Now, however, he resorts to his own sign-system, signs that stem from his biography or his personal environment. In particular, for his collages, that he was doing in the last years, he was using hundreds of art and architecture books that he had found in his late father’s library. Like many people in a similar situation, Hess asked himself what he was to do with the books. And he decided to make productive use of them and for his own work. By transforming the books of the library into his own art he created a sort of memorial to his father. Because with the reproductions of some of the illustrated books he made collages, playful new compositions based on the works of artists like – amongst others – Edward Hopper or Roy Liechtenstein. For his own "Frightened Girl" Hess made use of girls of Roy Liechtenstein-paintings. He cut and re-connected them, creating a kind of cubist version of the original. The result, that even made use of the caption in a Liechtenstein-monograph, was carefully put in a frame chosen by the artist. Hess looks back to a long career and to a very large number of institutional solo-shows of which here just a few are mentioned: Zulieferer unter Druck, Städtische Galerie, Wolfsburg (2016); Der Stoff aus dem die Träume waren, Kunsthalle Münster, Münster (2015); Ein Titel muss her!, Kunststation Wolfsburg, Wolfsburg (2013); The Birds (for Lilou), Swiss Institute, New York (2012); Silberpfeil, Mercedes Benz Museum, Stuttgart (2011); Automatic Crash Response, Armand Hammer Museum, Los Angeles (2009); Escape, Schloß Ringenberg, Hamminkeln (2009); Sculptures, The Project, New York (2008); Food4Less, Museo de Zapopan, Zapopan (2007); Walls/Muri (with Federico Herrero), Fondazione Bevilacqua, Venice (2006); Rice-Fields and Bushes, Casa del Lago, Mexico City (2006); Icons will survive / Wände haben Ohren, Media Center of the Swiss Govern¬ment, Bern (2006); Guten Morgen Deutschland, Haus der Kunst, Munich (2004); Logo (with Francis Baudevin and Mathieu Mercier), Swiss Institute, New York (2004); Berlin – New York (with Emmanuelle Antille), Kunsthaus Baselland, Muttenz (2003); To the MANOR born, Kunstmuseum Winterthur, Winterthur (2002); Ola de Cola, OPA (Officina de Proyectos de Arte), Guadelajara (2002); Dolly II, Kunstwerke, Berlin (2000); Swinging Swindle, Queens Museum of Art, New York (2000); Together Now, The Drawing Center, New York (2000); Transit 21 – Projekt Durchbruch (Kompromiss nach Eiland) (with Kerim Seiler), Kunsthalle St. Gallen, St. Gallen (1999).
