Internationally celebrated Berlin and Copenhagen-based artist Jeppe Hein’s site-specific installation “A New End” will be on view at World’s End in Hingham, Massachusetts, through October 31, 2017.The work is part of a new, two-year outdoor art initiative, “Art and the Landscape,” curated by guest curator Pedro Alonzo. The physical structure of the reflective labyrinth installation is inspired by the surrounding hills at the venue and is composed of three lines of reflective columns creating a spiral structure. The stainless steel totems start at three feet in height and ascend to nine feet towards the center. The structure resembles the cross-section of a nautilus shell from a bird’s eye view. The yearlong presence of the structure will display its stark transformations in color and light, distorting the landscape through reflection, according to the changing effects of all four seasons. “A New End” is designed to inspire a spiritual experience, stimulating mindfulness and a state of self-awareness, much like yoga or meditation.One hour south of Boston, the installation is on view at World’s End, Martins Lane, Hingham, MA 02043, United States.
