SARDINE is pleased to present Visible Program, an installation/performance by artist Sarah Heinemann. Imagined in dialogue with Henri Lefebvre's ideas of social space, Visible Program is divided into two parts. Part I defines the space of labor: an intervention of the white cube with a black and yellow grid, Heinemann makes visible the labor of art production. When the work is finished, the grid is painted over. Completing the piece is a negation of the object itself, valuing labor over product. Part 2 is a series of drawings and paintings. Replacing the grid, and superimposed onto the space of labor, the work is a personal exploration of memory, grief and loss.

Sarah Heinemann's practice spans painting, drawing, sound and large scale wall installation. The work embodies a range of subject matter from nature and language, to systems of order and disruption through investigations of color, form, and material. Underpinning the work is a surrender to contradictions, the fluctuation of chaos and order, which we navigate in lived experience.

Sarah Heinemann is a Brooklyn based artist. Originally from Chicago, she attended Smith College and holds a BFA in painting from The School of the Art Institute of Chicago. Her work has been included in exhibitions at Tiger Strikes Asteroid  LA, Bird Brooklyn, SARDINE, The Whitney Houston Biennial, The RE:Institute, and The Knockdown Center. Heinemann has worked for the studio of Sol LeWitt since 2000, realizing LeWitt wall drawings for museums, galleries, and private collections. She was commissioned by Warby Parker in partnership with the Estate of Stuart Davis to paint the murals Allee and Outside for their flagship store at Rockefeller Center. She is currently an MFA candidate at CUNY Hunter, class of 2022.

SARDINE is located on the ground floor of 286 Stanhope Street between Wyckoff and Irving Avenues in Bushwick, Brooklyn, one block from the Dekalb L train and near the Knickerbocker M. This is the first project the gallery has done since it shuttered for the pandemic. SARDINE will be open by appointment only for the time being. For more information, please visit sardinebk.com.
