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 September 22
Niels Munk Plum’s works takes place through subverting the classical structures of art production, and aims to implement a stronger sense of autonomy within the receiving subject.
This is done by horizontalization; creating an emphasis on process instead of the finished work. The intention and agenda brings the audience in to a situation within the work, that will exist as a moment of exchange and collaboration, still held together by the structure of the initial artistic plan.
The situation turns into a stage for us to use our fantasy to cross material-, social-, or conventional borders.
Plum’s works often appears as performative, however the content also establishes itself through a score of images, objects or words installed to create a physical dialogue set in relation to the artist and the audience.
