ABOUT
NIELS MUNK PLUM (b. 1992, he/him) works in the intersection between language, gestures, symbols, and colours. Through actions, performances, sculptures, and installations, he creates events and situations wherein we can form new narratives whilst reimagining systems of power, the logic of language, and our assigned, often normative roles and performances.
Situated within a process-based discourse, Niels recently presented the performance 7 CIRCLES at Thoravej 29 in collaboration with Art Hub Copenhagen, where he was also a resident in the fall of ’24. He has shown the performance NEW LOOP at Heartland Festival, with LARS in Lisbon, and at the opening of the National Museum in Oslo, where he was one of three artists commissioned to create new performance pieces. His graduation project RIGID ROOM was shown as part of Konstväxlingar at Odenplan metro platform in Stockholm. He has also staged works at institutions such as Podium and Kunstnernes Hus in Oslo, Runde Taarn in Copenhagen, and has produced several artist zines and publications.
Niels holds an MFA from Malmö Art Academy and a BFA from Oslo National Academy of Fine Art. He is currently living and working in Copenhagen.
