Thomas Hirschhorn
















Atelier van Thomas Hirschhorn, Aubervilliers, Parijs, 2011.

"Visiting a studio, one often has the secret hope of stumbling upon new artworks, unpublished sketches or abandoned prototypes never shown before. But to visit Hirschhorn’s studio is a whole different ball game in that all it reveals is the work itself. In his practice, there’s no separation between working process and finished artwork. The studio’s inside and outside literally replicate the artist’s production. Visiting the artist’s studio echoes the experience of his exhibitions so strikingly that the two seem to merge. The suburban former factory feels like an organic continuation of the work in every aspect, even the most trivial ones – like the calendar of due dates, which is hand-drawn with same intense and determined style as the artist’s drawings. Hirschhorn’s ‘all-encompassing’ technique mirrors the formal profusion of his urban surroundings and of his own interior moods, which are as nervous and agitated as his edgy neighbourhood."
