Facts

Martine Myrup (b. 1977) studied at Glasgow School of Art and works sculpturally with recycled textiles. In recent years, she has become interested in animal motifs in a figurative idiom. She masters a classical design with a superb ability to make poses and details speak with the language of the body about the vast existential register of moods and emotions we know as humans. Hope and loss, care and pain, fear and anger, life and death.

Emilie Boe Bierlich (b. 1979) holds a PhD in art history from the University of Copenhagen and has focused on women artists from 1850 onwards. In 2021 she was behind the exhibition "Anne" at the Glyptotek, and since January 2022 she has been employed as a researcher at the National Gallery of Denmark with a special focus on migration and transnationality among women artists in the 19th and early 20th century.
