HC ‘Damien & The Love Guru’

Find your friends
take a cup
have a sip
turn the cup
pass it over
think of us
take it back
enjoy the buzz

On the occasion of an evening at Bob’s Pogo Bar at KW Berlin in October 2017 HC made a series of drinking vessels from clay. In order to drink from these without spilling the liquid it contains one needs to find a partner, a collaborator, a friend. In November 2018 the vessels became part of the show „To eggs and other shells“ at Galerie Thomas Fischer, Berlin, where they were ex-hibited among other objects associatively combined around the leitmotif of a vessel or container. While HC were serving drinks in their vessels again they also took pictures of their guests drink-ing during the opening. Pictures, which now become templates for a series of acrylic paintings on wooden panels currently on view for an exhibition titled „Damien & The Love Guru“ at Priya Shetty Gallery.

HC was founded in 2016 by Friedemann Heckel (lives and works in Berlin) and Lukas Müller (lives and works in Frankfurt am Main).
