The first exhibition at the HEART Museum was a retrospective exhibition by the Italian artist Jannis Kounelli (born in Greece). The exhibition is the first bigger presentation of Kounellis' work in Scandinavia and the artist have made a number of new pieces for the opening exhibition at HEART.Jannis Kounellis (b. 1936) has for more than forty years played an important role in contemporary art. He had a central role in the 1960's Arte-Povera movement which opposed the painting that wished to redefine the language of art. Using matarials as steel, coal, fabric, bags, coffee, fire, live animals and humans Jannis Kounellis creates radical and very original sculptures, performances and installations.
