Uwe Henneken �Hope springs a kernel� PRIVATE VIEW: THURSDAY 24 March 2011, 7-10 pm EXHIBITION DATES: 24 MARCH 2011-30 APRIL 2011 OPENING HOURS: TUESDAY TO SATURDAY 12-6 pm The Breeder presents the second solo exhibition in Athens of German artist Uwe Henneken. Once again the artist Uwe Henneken presents to us an oppressive imagery, that touches on the fears and longings of our soul: read backwards as transience, negation and disappearance and written forward as love, faith and hope, Henneken's imagery moves us so deeply, because it refuses a distant consideration. The image we gaze upon, gazes deeply back at us. For the first time, in this exhibition, Henneken's figures appear to us in a direct dialogue with the figures of another artist. As a short-circuit between Henneken's Imperium Schlemihlium and the visuals of the hallucinatory Gnostic cartoonist David Tibet � founding member of music group Current 93, whose works Henneken has admired for a long time, in these remarkable drawings a momentous communion is formed which burns itself into our souls: incredibly, astonishing creatures materialize, as if electrified, out of the dark: Flash! Uwe Henneken was born in Germany 1974 and he lives and works in Berlin. Solo shows include Kunstverein Braunschweig in Germany (2010) and Kunstmuseum Muelheim an der Ruhr (2009).
