SEE LISTEN TASTE FEEL - Henry Art Gallery Benefit

Jeppe Hein threw a benefit party for the Henry Art Gallery on January 31, 2009. The Danish-born, Berlin-based artist delivered a dazzling art experience to a large group of happy attendees. The event included art installations, music and dinner. After dinner, the tablecloths were removed to reveal ping pong tables. Play and laughter were unavoidable.

For video covering this event, check out Patrick Wright and Kyle Johnson's effort on Vimeo, and the Henry Art Gallery’s Hankblog.
