BIO

Working across video, photography, drawing and installation, Pernille With Madsen is best known for her experimental, site-specific installations.

Dissolution, imbalance, disorientation, collapse and loss of control are core themes in With Madsen’s practice. Often employing surprising distortions of scale and perspective, her works dissolve the apparent stability of architectural spaces, upending expectations of time and scale. 

Through her dizzying interventions, she exposes the fragile structures that underpin our everyday environment, picking apart the perceptive processes we take for granted.

She received her MFA from Jutland Art Academy (2003). Recent solo shows include those at International Centre for Contemporary Culture, San Sebastián, Spain; Justus Lipsius Building, Brussels, Belgium and Horsens Kunstmuseum, Horsens, Denmark. Notable group exhibitions include Billedbarrikader, Sorø Kunstmuseum, Contour: 6th Biennale of the Moving image, Mechelen, Belgium. Kunstmuseum Brandts, Odense, Denmark and Guandong Museum of Art, Guangzou, China.

With Madsen was awarded the Danish Art Council’s 3 Year Work Grant. Her work can be found in public collections including Horsens Kunstmuseum, Horsens, Denmark and New Carlsberg Foundation, Denmark.

She has done several large scale permanent public commission such as the Copenhagen Metro Station Enghave Brygge; Aarhus University, Universitetsparken; Niels Bohr Bygningen, University of Copenhagen.

Pernille With Madsen er uddannet fra Det Jydske Kunstakademi (2003). Hun arbejder på tværs af video, fotografi, tegning og installation. 

Opløsning, ubalance, kollaps og tab af kontrol er grundtemaer i With Madsens praksis, hvor forvrængninger af skala og perspektiv fremstiller flydende og ustabile konfigurationer af tid og rum.

Gennem sine svimlende interventioner, udstiller With Madsen de skrøbelige strukturer, der holder sammen på vores hverdag og omgivelser, idet hun eksperimenterer med de perceptoriske processer, som vi er vant til at opfatte verden igennem.

Pernille With Madsen er repræsenteret af Galleri Susanne Ottesen og har udstillet i ind og udland bl.a. International Centre for Contemporary Culture, San Sebastián; Justus Lipsius Building, Brussels og Horsens Kunstmuseum. Derudover gruppeudstillinger som  Billedbarrikader, Sorø Kunstmuseum, Contour: 6th Biennale of the Moving image, Mechelen, Belgium. Kunstmuseum Brandts, Odense og Guandong Museum of Art, Guangzou, Kina.

Af større permanente offentlige udsmykninger kan nævnes Københavns Metro, Enghave Brygge St.; Aarhus Universitet, Universitetsparken; Niels Bohr Bygningen, Københavns Universitet.

STATEMENT

“You could call it a friction-machine, trying to nail down images into a new belonging created in the physical time and space of the studio. And eventually in physical time and space of an exhibition where they - hopefully - create an uncountable ambience of illusions you can fall in and out of - as a way of training your imaginative skills.”

“Jeg laver billeder, jeg selv kan trippe på. Det vil sige billeder, jeg kan falde ind og ud af. Billeder hvor materiel konkrethed og illusion er lige meget til stede. Hvor tydeligheden i billedets frembringelse – dets materielle konkrethed – får en til at falde ud af billedets illusion, samtidig med at illusionen er det første, man ser. Og så fremdeles kan man skifte blikket mellem illusion og produktion. Som en form for meditation. Eller en forestillingsevnens massage.”
