Kirstine roepstorff biography template
•
Kirstine Roepstorff was born in Copenhagen in 1972. She trained at The Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts before completing her MFA in 2000 at Rutgers University in New Jersey. Her expansive exhibition profile includes solo shows at museums such as Kunstmuseum Basel, Galerie im Taxispalais, Kunsthalle Brandts, and MUSAC, Spain. She currently lives and works in Berlin. Roepstorff’s collages and sculptures are characterized by their unrefined physicality, which translates conceptual information networks into the palpable realm of ‘stuff’: textiles, crumpled foil, wall paper, magazine clippings, bits of random bijoux compile as fantastical scenes or prop-like objects that construct suggestive narratives. Her work, which also includes performance and theatre production, relates to a concept of ‘gesamtkunstwerk’ or ‘total artwork’, which binds aesthetics to the social, political, and spiritual values intrinsic to everyday life.
