A needle, gifted to Hesse by the artist Jannis Kounellis when they met during his exhibition at MIMA in Middlesbrough in 2012, hangs millimetres from the ground, suspended by a thread woven from wool gathered from local moorland and the hair of the artist and her two daughters. The piece was made by Hesse over a period of evenings at home: a play on the craft traditions associated with the feminine, the continuity of time, the needle of a compass but sitting as the political state of the world does, slightly off centre. The origins of the work are linked to a performance work Hesse has created in collaboration with Dr Martyn Hudson, Northumbria University. ‘There is No Ghost Sonata Being Staged Here’ 2018, is a performance in reasoning in the work and philosophy of Hannah Arendt and the lesser known work of her husband, Heinrich Blucher. The work has been developed around a lecture on Homer given by Blucher in 1954 and was delivered at Workplace Foundation with the permission of Bard College, New York.
