Noa Heyne
(Israel)
Noa Heyne is a multidisciplinary artist working in sculpture, performance and animation.
She creates large interactive installations that instill playfulness and fantasy into immobile
structures. These installations emphasize physical involvement of the viewers and raise
questions of responsibility and control of individuals over their environment.
Heyne was born in Ramat Gan, Israel. She studied painting in the Jerusalem Studio School
(2005-2007) in the master class of Israel Hershberg and sculpture in the Art Students League
and the New York Studio School (2007-2008) in New York, and has received her MFA from
the Rinehart School of Sculpture, MICA in 2017. Her work was exhibited in solo and group
shows in Israel and the U.S, but also in private collections in Tel Aviv, Jerusalem, New York
and London. Heyne is the recipient of several awards, among them the LCU Foundation
award, the Rinehart Fellowship award, the Amalie Rothschild '34 Award and the MICA LAB
award.
In 2018 Heyne was a finalist for the Baltimore Baker Artists Award.
