Stefanie Heinze
Your Mouth Comes Second: Book Presentation
New Works
Preview 30 April
Reading and Artist Talk
3 May, 12 pm

The exhibition by Stefanie Heinze places her monograph Your Mouth Comes Second—published in 2024-2025 to accompany her exhibition of the same name at the Fondazione Sandretto Re Rebaudengo in Turin—at its center, while simultaneously offering an expanded insight into Heinze’s artistic practice. It brings together a selection of new as well as earlier works.

Stefanie Heinze’s work moves between painting and drawing and is characterized by a distinctive, often fragmentary visual language. Her works combine figurative suggestions with abstract elements, creating a dense, associative imagery in which bodies, spaces, and signs overlap. Recurring motifs are varied and shifted, so that meaning is not fixed but unfolds in the process of viewing.

The presentation is accompanied on Sunday, May 3 at 12 pm by two readings, in which Sophie Robinson and Fid Fischer – both contributors to the catalogue – present their texts and offer different perspectives on Heinze’s work. A conversation between Stefanie Heinze and Mason Leaver-Yap deepens key themes of the publication and provides space for a direct exchange about artistic processes and conceptual references. In this constellation, a multilayered dialogue emerges between image, text, and voice.
