Published on 08/28/2026 at 15:02 | Editorial responsibility: Rafael Müller, Editor-in-Chief AD HOC NEWS
Jeppe Hein unveils Something Between Us in Copenhagen. Postbyen's official event page says the water sculpture was unveiled on June 12, 2026 at Posten 4 in Copenhagen's cultural district.
What the Copenhagen unveiling adds
The official 3daysofdesign event page names the work and gives the exact slot: June 12, 2026, from 3:00 PM to 3:30 PM. It also frames the piece as a public opening tied to Postbyen's urban site.
The work sits close to Hein's long-running interest in participation, movement, and social exchange. That focus runs through many of his public commissions and museum projects, from fountains to mirrors.
Why the practice still travels
Hein's Modified Social Bench and related installations have circulated widely through museums, sculpture parks, and civic spaces. His studio website also lists current and recent presentations in Berlin, Munich, Copenhagen, and beyond.
That spread matters for collectors and institutions. Hein works in formats that can move between exhibition, commission, and permanent placement without losing their social function.
