Lena Henke at Kunstverein Braunschweig

In her exhibit 'Available light', Lena Henke utilizes the same use of scale and association that was discussed in Crimp Douglas's essay 'Pictures'. her opening piece for this exhibition is a bronze casting in the shape of the island of Manhattan which is intentionally made for the viewer to associate to the head of a horse. This piece utilizes a miniature skyline of the Manhattan cityscape which, as was described by Crimp, creates a sense of distance from the viewer that moving closer to could not change.
