YES, I’M PREGNANT
Skulpturen museum Glaskasten
Marl, Germany
Press Release





In april 2014 the Project 25/25/25 officially opened at Skulpturenmuseum Glaskasten Marl with the presentation of the first of 25 works to be donated to 25 museums in North Rhine-Westphalia by the Kunststiftung NRW. After exploring in depth the unique and extraordinary collection of the Glaskasten Museum of Sculpture in Marl, the New York-based artist Lena Henke (b. 1982 in Warburg, Germany) has put together a comic strip-style collage of photographs. The form and aesthetic of this "photo love story”, a format used especially in teen magazines, are designed to appeal to the younger residents of Marl in particular and lure them into "their” local museum. For Henke has selected sculptures from the museum’s collection to serve as the protagonists of this love story, bringing them to life by endowing them with character traits based on those of their creators, namely artists like Hans Arp, Joseph Jäckel and Marino Marini. In the process, she brings these masterpieces up to date and shows how enduringly current they are.
