Mille Kalsmose (b. 1972) is a Danish artist based in Copenhagen and New York. Her images, sculptures, and installations introduce new ways to navigate existence and togetherness. The works embodies family constellations or, most importantly, the relationships between the individual and the world. Mille Kalsmose’s work gives shape and materializes what is invisible to the eye – this is a driving force and an indispensable desire throughout the work. Combining autobiography with neuroscience, personal experiences with social inquiry, Mille Kalsmose creates artworks that resonate on a multitude of levels. She has worked with a wide range of materials and explores the architecture of memory, identity, psychological mechanisms, and spiritual life conceptions, thus creating a union of the unconfined in highly tactile manifestations.
Kalsmose holds a MA from Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona and has studied at the Bio Art Lab at SVA, School of Visual Arts, in New York. Her work has been exhibited at ARoS, Aarhus Art Museum; at MAVI, Museum of Visual Arts, Santiago, Chile, KUNSTEN Museum of Modern Art Aalborg, EMMA, Espoo Museum of Modern Art, United Nations Headquarters, New York, US; La Virreina, Centre de Imagen, Barcelona, Cataluña; ITAMI Museum, Hygo, Japan; Fundacion Valentin de Madarigada, Andalusia, Spain, Horsens Art Museum, Den Frie Exhibition Center; Kastrupgaard Collection, CCA, Center of Contemporary Art, Andratx, Spain and others.
