  • Hecker (motorcycle), a former motorcycle manufacturer in Nürnberg, Germany
  • Hecker Flour, flour company in U.S.
  • Florian Hecker

    Florian Hecker was born in 1975 in Augsburg, Germany. He was raised in Kissing, Germany and studied Computational Linguistics and Psycholinguistics at Ludwig Maximilian Universität, Munich and Fine Arts at the Akademie der Bildenden Künste, Vienna, where he received his diploma in 2003. He lives and works in Vienna and Kissing, Germany.

    In performances, publications and installations, Hecker deals with specific compositional developments of post-war modernity, electro-acoustic music as well as other, non-musical disciplines. He dramatizes space, time and self-perception in his sonic works by isolating specific auditory events in their singularity, thus stretching the boundaries of their materialization. Their objectual autonomy is exposed while simultaneously evoking sensations, memories and associations in an immersive intensity.

    Solo exhibitions include: MMK, Museum für Moderne Kunst, Frankfurt am Main, Germany; IKON Gallery, Birmingham and Chisenhale Gallery, London, all in 2010. Bawag Contemporary, Vienna, 2009; Sadie Coles HQ, London, 2008 and Galerie Neu, Berlin, 2007.

    Ordinary Angel

    by: Hue & Cry

    I got the card, delivers the goods
    Fills me with happiness
    It's joy for a while 'till the first of the month
    Then I'm chasing my tail again
    I want a life that's bigger than me
    'Cause I'm crushing myself to death
    Tell you what I don't need
    No heaven sent deity
    'Cause I'm an ordinary angel
    Winning tiny victories
    And though the ordinary angels fly
    Their wings weigh heavily
    I try to be a daily genius
    There's no idea beyond my reach
    With all the angels and the geniuses
    My company I'm gonna keep
    I'm watching the news and I feel my face
    Hanging like plasticene
    Now I see the plot, I've got the plan
    Every move is transparent to me
    Profit and power's turning the world
    And I'm leaning against the spin
    Give me a vision please
    And I don't mean heavenly
    I am an ordinary angel child
    Walking with the daily geniuses
