Bio
Marie Anine Møller (b. 1980) is a Danish visual artist and curator based in New York. She has a BA (Hons.) in Fine Art Photography from the Glasgow School of Art, followed by an MFA in Sculpture from Pratt Institute, New York. Her work integrates sculpture, installation, and photography and explores contradictions in materials and socio-politics by questioning fixed states and definitions of value.
Møller has previously exhibited at, among others, Compass Gallery in Glasgow, Photographic Center, and Arden Asbæk Gallery in Copenhagen. In America, her exhibitions include Upstate Art Weekend and UNTITLED Art Fair, Miami with NYC gallery and event space Beverly's, SPRING/BREAK Art Show, New York with Field Projects, The Locker Room, and Tappeto Volante Projects.
As a curator, she has created an extensive exhibition program for CGK Gallery in Copenhagen in collaboration with the biggest photo festival in Northern Europe, Copenhagen Photofestival - her list of curations within CGK Gallery consists of names such as Chris Verene, Clemens Ascher, Nicolai Howalt, Kristoffer Bech and Tine Bek.
Statement
The true and false of our everyday life, values, and fixed juxtapositions are the center of Marie Anine Møller’s work. Her representations and new versions of objects reflect on memory, fragility, and what has value in modern society. She sheds light on everyday objects - takes them apart, and puts them back together in a new way to change something while preserving and reusing something. Tirelessly glass knives are put into ever-changing grids of figurative sculptures, suddenly becoming an abstract painting. By repurposing knives, she disarms and transforms them into tools, dissecting considerations of law and power. Her work is both bizarre and recognizable, beautiful and terrifying, and inspired by the Still Life genre in French, Nature Morte - here, life becomes static rather than vibrant, and nature dead rather than blossoming.
