KRISTINE MANDSBERG

COLOUR + MATERIALS + PATTERN + SURFACE 

What I do

 

Rather than focusing on one material or medium, the work of artist Kristine Mandsberg tackles each project through an explorative and experimental approach to surfaces, materials, repetition and colour, whichmanifests through spatial decorations, collectible objects and installations.

The playful nature, in which she creates, is imbued into each space and object, encouraging the user or audience to want to touch and feel the work - promoting a sense of physicality.

This dynamism of interaction is often the defining element that completes her projects, with modularity, repetitive and changeable components featured throughout her body of work.

As a manifest to work by Kristine uses the term PLEASE TOUCH as an overall reminder that her work should provoke a physical attraction on the spectator. A physical instinct to want to touch the work as a reminder that humans are still physical beings in an increasing digital world.

 

Kristine Mandsberg has a background as a Textile Designer from The Royal College of Art in London, 2008, but now works as an artist from her studio in Copenhagen, Denmark.

In 2018 she had her first solo exhibition PLEASE TOUCH in Copenhagen, which manifested her artistic practise. Since then, her work has expanded to also include several large scale temporary and permanent installations in Denmark, an interest in exploring a digital potential of her work, and an increasing interest in working in public spaces and involving people in the process of creating.

 

Mandsberg has been financially supported by the Danish Art Foundation since her graduation from RCA.
