[PU: Denmark 2009], ARCHITECTURE, MONOGRAPHS., HEART Herning Museum of Contemporary Art in Herning, Denmark is a new building designed by the renowned American architect Steven Holl. He showed a keen interest in the project, first of all because the museum owns a unique collection by the Italian conceptual arte povera-artist Piero Manzoni. In 1960 Manzoni was invited to Herning for the first time by Aage Damgaard, the owner of a well-known shirt factory. Aage DamgaardÆs interest in contemporary art resulted in a visionary model for cooperation between businesses and artists û and in founding a museum. HollÆs complex structures are surrounded by a landscape of hills and ponds which fits in the environment. The single-story building, with its natural light and innovative roof construction, refers to the formal vocabulary of the factory opposite from the 1960s in the circular shape of a collar. From a birdÆs-eye perspective the new building recalls outstretched shirt sleeves and the in situ fa?ade has a surface resembling a wrinkled white shirt. Opening of the museum: HEART û Herning Museum of Contemporary Art, Herning, September 9, 2009, Danish/German, Year2009, Illust. B/W17, Illust. Color37, ISBN 9783775724937, Code 6709.
