It is with great pleasure to announce the exhibition home vs owner by Sidsel Meineche Hansen in Piraeus, that is to be followed by the artist’s parallel exhibition in London due to open on 10 October.

Meineche Hansen’s practice explores a post-human landscape that unfolds with the extended use and presence of technology in our lives: the boom of pharmaceutics for genetic requirements as well as psychotropic needs, the pornographic transformation of bodies mainly via sexual machinations that employ technological advance- ment, but also industrial methodologies for the materialisation of pleasure via erotic representations of physical bodies, for example the manufacture and distribution of programmable bodies such as avartars, sex dolls and robots.

Meineche Hansen’s work varies in medium and form spanning very archaic material, like wood and clay and iron through which hand-made and unique objects are brought to life, to CGI animation and video and other reproducible mediums. home vs owner includes a wide spectrum of this diverse and deep practice. Most works exhibited in Piraeus are made within a period of six years (2014 – 2020), under various commissions and in collaboration with several institutions worldwide. To name a few: Cubitt gallery, London; Künstlerhaus Bremen; Gasworks, London; Transmission Gallery, Glasgow; Kunsthalle Århus; KW, Berlin; SMK, Copenhagen; Chisen- hale, London, amongst others.

home vs owner is a new piece forged in silver by the artist at a local foundry in Athens, an iteration of which will be available as an edition accompanying the exhibition.

In an effort to keep the gallery safe and following guidelines, we are limiting the number of visitors at a time. The gallery is also open by appointment, please contact us to make arrangements.

The use of mask is mandatory and there will be a very limited number of guests present (max 20 spread between the two spaces front and back)
