ABOUT
Niels Munk Plum (1992, Sønderborg DK) Lives and works between Copenhagen and Oslo.
He works with staging the body and language in a performance-based discourse where the aim is to queer the self from the use of already existing logic.
ARTISTIC STATEMENT November 24
Niels Munk Plum’s practice stages situations that delegate actions and pose questions for building new narratives. His works host and accommodate the viewer, using the exhibition space as a vehicle to meditate on perception and autonomy.
Rooted in looping as a performance-based research, Plum’s practice activates the present moment and context, using scrambling to cut ideas apart and glue them together anew.
Emphasizing horizontalization, his process becomes the work itself, actively engaging color and symbols in dialogue with space, time, and our bodies. The aim is to briefly dismantle power structures and hierarchies through an open, layered program.
