Martin Brandt Hansen (GL)
The objects in Brandt Hansen’s works range from his sculptural interpretations of traditional Inuit artifacts to a representation of imported manufactured objects from Greenland-showing the classic iconography of western mass culture and its influence. The objects that are all reflecting a larger historical, social, and cultural meaning, come together, and create a strong visual narrative. In Brandt Hansen’s works, he explores and challenges the ‘traditional’ way of exhibiting and displaying Greenlandic art and culture-focusing on changing the perspective and articulating new narratives.
Martin Brandt Hansen (1990) was born in Nuuk, Greenland, but has lived in Copenhagen for several years. He has a master’s degree from the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts. He works with both western mass culture and art history, mythology from Inuit culture and anthropological and ethnographic methods.
