SynopsisVanessa Henn' s (b. Stuttgart, 1970; lives and works in Berlin) objects and installations blend formal reduction with playful comedy. The handrails she makes out of a wide variety of materials run along walls, project into rooms, trace spirals, mark lines or arcs, and often solicit our active engagement. Besides banisters, her oeuvre, which straddles the line between architecture and sculpture, also comprises bridges, stairs, and fences. All her creations are energized by the tension between the static work of art and its dynamic environment, which the artist resolves by integrating her works into the goings-on of everyday life. A guardrail that runs perpendicular to a flight of stairs or abruptly ends in the ceiling or floor is relieved of its function; rather than helping us go where we are going, it is a companion who invites us on a stroll into the imaginary and uncertain. And that is what makes Vanessa Henn' s art so alluring.Vanessa Henn studied sculpture at the State Academy of Fine Arts Stuttgart (1992- 2001) and at Edinburgh College of Art (1995- 1996) and completed a Master of Fine Art at the y of Canterbury School of Fine Art in Christchurch, New Zealand (1999- 2000)., Vanessa Henn's (b.
