On Kawara
In 2003, Hendeles guest-curated "Partners", a 16-gallery exhibition for the Haus der Kunst, Munich, at the invitation of then-incoming director Chris Dercon and the new chief curator, Thomas Weski. For "Partners" Hendeles combined work by Diane Arbus, Maurizio Cattelan, James Coleman, Hanne Darboven, Walker Evans, Luciano Fabro, On Kawara, Paul McCarthy, Bruce Nauman, Giulio Paolini, Jeff Wall and Lawrence Weiner, together with series of photojournalistic images, anonymous vernacular photographs and antique vernacular objects. This exhibition also included Hendeles’s own artwork "Partners (The Teddy Bear Project)", 2002, a large-scale installation built around an archive of family-album photographs, each including the image of a teddy bear (see external link below).
