MARIUS ENGH
Marius Engh (1974, Oslo) understands objects by their ability to give and retain information, as representatives of a standardized, everyday way of life whose function and meaning refer to a given inheritance. His work appropriates these already existing forms and then replaces them in another context or under new readings, creating a sort of formalist encounter whose expression displaces the predominant cultural narrative, as well as the way of relating to its environment.
A selection of recent solo exhibitions includes Krutthuset i Maridalen (Oslo) Galerie Emanuel Layr (Rome), STANDARD Gallery (Oslo) and VEDA (Florence). His works have been included in exhibitions at Musée d’Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris (Paris), Munchmuseet (Oslo), Tenerife Espacio de las Artes (Tenerife), Glassbox, (Paris) Henie Onstad Art Center (Hovik), Kunsthall Oslo, (Oslo), Westfälischer Kunstverein (Munster), Bergen Kunsthall (Bergen), Witte de With (Rotterdam) and Kiasma (Helsinki).
