Hermelinde Hergenhahn – These things, that happened to you, will never happen to me!!

Hermelinde’s drawing practice, which extends into the public space, has been refered to as “taking a line for a walk, but …a walk on the wild side – a persistent, jerky, scatological line whose erratic (and erotic) wanderings describe a world both comic and melancholic, quirky and unsettling…”. Displaced and off-center figures populate hundreds of small drawings. In her writings, films and installation work Hermelinde defines her approach as one of “critical nearness.”

Currently based in Amsterdam, Hermelinde studied at the Städelschule, Frankfurt and earned a postgraduate degree at the Jan van Eyck Academy, Maastricht. She has shown extensively in Europe. Recent exhibitions include: 2007, AnyoneAnywhereAnytime, Nidwaldner Museum, Stans, Switzerland and – Loyal Rooftops, 2007

Hermelinde’s residency at Location One is supported by Schloss Balmoral, Stiftung Rheinland Pfalz für Kultur.
