Sibyl Heijnen Explained

Sibyl Heijnen (1961) is a Dutch visual artist, part of the second generation after 1960.[1] She graduated from the Gerrit Rietveld Academy in Amsterdam, the Netherlands in 1985.[1] She is known for working with a wide range of materials and techniques, not limited to a particular spatial scale, transcending all boundaries of art.[2]

She has received many grants and awards and her art can be found in private and public collections,[1] such as the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York[3] and at exhibitions in many countries. A highlight in her career was the event 'LOOK! Sibyl Heijnen' at the National Museum of Modern Art, Kyoto (MOMAK).[4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] Room for reflection at Museum de Fundatie, castle het Nijenhuis, Heino/Weihe NL[10] [11] [12] Sibyl Heijnen is also known for her plans to transform Times Square and Broadway.[13] [14]

International recognition

Development

Art historian and publicist Peggie Breitbarth identified three key works in Heijnen’s oeuvre up to 2007:

  1. The two sides of the same coin 1, 1990. This work contained two miles of cotton cloth, weighed 800 kilograms and measured 220 x 240 x 40 centimeters.[16] [23] [1]
  2. Gateway, 1993. This is a lane of honor made of hanging rubber, the overture to a number of large hanging works.[23]
  3. Theater curtain, 2006. This computer-operated moving work contains 9-meter-long strips of processed and gilded synthetics that cover a 144-square-meter stage opening and a frieze. It introduces the time factor in Heijnen’s work.[23] [24]

Textile historian and curator Mary Schoeser wrote in 2012 the book The art of mankind in which 3 works of Sibyl Heijnen are referenced. Published by Thames and Hudson.[25] [26] [27] Publicist Rob Smolders wrote in 2017 an article for the catalogue for Personal Structures - Open Borders, an exhibition organised by GAA Foundation during the Venice Biennale 2017. The text is about Room for reflection, the site specific works of Sibyl Heijnen:[28]
