Julie Falk (1991, Denmark) is known for her minimalist yet deeply evocative work that explores the relationship between subtraction, labour, value and surface.
Falk’s sculptures are born through subtraction. This method characterises her relationship with materials, production and time, working from a position that addresses the way that illness and reduced physical capacity are temporal categories.
Repetition, extension, appropriation and rearrangement are techniques she uses to challenge borders and finiteness. It is a way to question existing hierarchies and normative time in order to subvert dominant structures. Falk applies cardboard, metal casting, marble scraps, and found text or footage from a camera phone into works that have accrued shifting layers of meaning, whether through their former ownership or a new point of departure.
Falk has participated in collaborative projects with architects and designers, contributing sculptural elements to architectural spaces, which emphasises her interest in the intersection between sculpture and its environment. Her ability to create relationships between her works and their surroundings has garnered Falk commissions for public works throughout Denmark.
Julie Falk has exhibited work in numerous solo and group exhibitions across Denmark and Scandinavia.
