Martine Myrup

Martine Myrup is an artist based in Denmark, working primarily within sculpture. Myrup’s primary interest is sculpture as a substitute or surrogate, as a votive offering, but also a desire to evoke and give physical form to what has been lost. Working exclusively with materials and objects that have already served their original purpose, she highlights how objects and materials already have immeasurable amounts of stories contained within them. And by recontextualizing them, she is able to tell her own.

Martine Myrup (b. 1977, Denmark) trained as a sculptor at the Glasgow School of Art. Previous solo exhibitions include, A birds sings in the bush of your bones, Øregaard Museum (2024) Only Heaven and the Lilies Know, Officinet, Copenhagen (2023) as well as group exhibitions, including Landscape, AKUT#5, Designmuseum Danmark (2024) Cheongju Craft Biennale, Cheongju, Korea (2023); FABRIK Balterswil, Switzerland (2022); Gammelgaard, Herlev (2022); Den Frie Exhibition Building, Copenhagen (2020). Myrup is represented in the permanent collection at Designmuseum Danmark.
