Caspar Heinemann – Sod All

12:00 am - 12:00 am
Wednesday, May 7, 2025 - Sunday, August 3, 2025

Studio Voltaire, 1A Nelsons Row, London SW4 7JR

Drawing from the aesthetics of folk art and vernacular architecture, Caspar Heinemann (b. 1994, London), explores the interconnectivity of spiritual, political and sexual counterculture. This is the artist’s first solo institutional exhibition in the UK.

In his work to date, Heinemann’s subjects have evolved through speculative fiction, such as a revisionist biography of Ted Kaczynski, otherwise known as the Unabomber. He has referenced early Gay Liberation Front actions, Mary Whitehouse’s campaigns against homosexuality and the 1990s anti-roads movements in the UK. Developing these narratives across sculpture, performance, writing and drawing, Heinemann considers how queer storytelling might be harnessed as a mode of opposition.

At Studio Voltaire, Heinemann will utilise objects commonly used to attract or repel. Playing with transformation and scale, Heinemann’s exhibition will include miniaturised, diorama-like assemblages alongside a major site-specific installation, suspending a series of sculptures from the ceiling to upend the audience’s viewpoint.
