ARTIST TALK: MARIE LUND

Marie Lund

Marie Lund’s artistic practice arrives from a contemplation on the interdependencies between architectural space, objects, and bodies. Her sculptural works hold references to existing, functional objects, which she releases from their original use and transforms through tensile material processes into abstract sculptural structures. Often situated in relation to liminal positions of the space, in resistance to sculpture as autonomous object, they outline and activate their environment, encompassing encounters between body and space and exchange with artworks by other artists. In turning to ideas of hosting and openness, space is given rather than merely occupied. Accordingly, Lund’s sculptures resonate as social as well as spatial frameworks, fostering mutual forms of dependency within exhibition formats.

In her artist talk, Marie Lund will talk about her work and the ideas she is currently pursuing as artist in residence at The Danish Institute at Athens.
