Lone Høyer Hansen (born 1950) is a Danish sculptor who creates works with combinations of untraditional materials such as concrete, cellophane, fabrics and plaster.[1][2]

Biography

Born in Copenhagen on 13 August 1950, Høyer Hansen is the daughter of the fish merchant Ove Wagner Høyer Hansen and Inge Agnete Dam. She studied at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts under Willy Ørskov (1980–83) and at the Kunstpædagogisk Skole (Arts Pedagogical School) under Helge Bertram.(1983–85).[2]

Høyer Hansen's art ranges from the minimalistic combination of objects to sculpture based on materials such as plaster, bronze, concrete and fabrics. As she sometimes works as a member of a group, her work often relates to the concepts of other sculptors. Since the early 1980s she has also created sculptural works for the stage and has incorporated video and slide projections.[2]

From 2003-2009, Lone Høyer Hansen was Professor at The Sculpture School at The Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts. Since her professorship at the academy, Høyer Hansen has completed a number of large-scale artworks in the public space in Copenhagen: including a suite of sculptures on view at Københavns Biocenter (part of the University of Copenhagen); the decorative coloring of the exterior at Bordings Friskole (both the latter installations include sculptures in neon); a large cylindrical sculpture in steel, mounted in front of Professionshøjskolen Metropol; and various sculptural elements for noma restaurant.

gollark: Tradition is *a* reason to think something might be better, but a fairly weak one, since the people of the past had rather different values, and not tools like computer simulations or more recent mathematical analyses of voting systems.
gollark: Also, yes, the context is quite different so reasons from then may not apply.
gollark: It's also possible that more complex systems may have been impractical before computers came along, although that doesn't apply to, say, approval voting.
gollark: First-past-the-post is the simplest and most obvious thing you're likely to imagine if you want people to "vote for things", and it's entirely possible people didn't look too hard.
gollark: I don't know if the people designing electoral systems actually did think of voting systems which are popular now and discard them, but it's not *that* much of a reason to not adopt new ones.
