In the press ...
A hybrid cross of traditional gallery and urban exhibition lounge, the heliumcowboy artspace represents the best in young contemporary art, showcasing emerging artists with the ability to blow away boundaries and work towards establishing the future aesthetics of art. Positioned closely to the development and evolutional cycles of young art today, the gallery is aiding artists who are the mould of the art world.
When the gallery opened in 2003, the aim was to establish a place to conceive, show and experience art that is made by and for people living in the here and now; educational or social backgrounds were never in the thought process. On the contrary, qualifications are only our shared battles in life and the complex absurdities this ride presents.
Consequently, the heliumcowboy artspace is run as a hub for contemporary life rather than a simple and clean place to present vacuum protected art.
Since the beginning, our motto (and ethos) derives from an old 70ies song: “A cowboy’s work is never done”. This in mind, we at heliumcowboy tirelessly support young artists by giving them the space and opportunity to fully explore their talent at exhibitions, fairs and consequently on the market that eventually will feed them.
Jointly, we are getting our hands and minds dirty with the work on a shared goal: to establish a new breed of artists and a unique and probably the most contemporary form of emerging art today.
This said, our exhibitions are very distinctive in the presentation of art. We don’t strive to make cool art parties; we much rather support our artists in creating an environment that re-invents the concept of exhibiting and developing art shows that may be considered authentic in their reflection of our society and selves.

DARE - 05/08
It is not just because they feature a big interview with our gallerist, Jörg, inside. It is also not because they invited Jörg to speak on the panel at their launchparty. Or that heliumcowgirl Veronika supplied the photo for the artwork on the cover. Or that it is full to the brim with a lot of artists we admire. No, we really do feel that this is one of the freshest, strongest, best designed, outstandingly written and ... simply most remarkable art publications we held in our hands in a long, long time: the new DARE magazine is out! Issue number 2, titled "Hype", features stories with and about artists, movers and shakers from the art scenes of Hamburg and Berlin.

Brand Eins - 2/07
Interview with Jörg Heikhaus in the german Economic Magazine:
"Ich glaube, dass ich aus der Euphorie der New Economy gelernt habe. Ich habe nicht unbedingt weniger Arbeit, alles passiert mit mehr Bedacht und Ruhe. Langfristig ist das wichtig. Denn eigentlich bin ich jetzt wieder ganz in meinem Element."

der spiegel - B.v.Stuckrad-Barre 6.11.2006
Weil er des Chaos nicht mehr Herr wurde (...), scannte Stuckrad-Barre Notizen, Bilder, Fundstücke und Schnipsel kurzerhand ein, speicherte sie auf Festplatten; jetzt werden die Originale wieder hervorgeholt- "runtergeladen" und zu Kunstexponaten erklärt....
