Marius Engh (born 1974, Oslo) understands the objects in terms of their capacity to provide and retain information, in so far as they represent a a15> a form of everyday life and standardised whose function and meaning refer to a specific legacy. His work appropriates these already existing forms a36> in order to later replace them in another context or under new interpretations, creating a kind of formalist encounter whose expression displaces the narrative predominant cultural narrative, as well as the way of relating to their environment.
A selection of recent solo exhibitions includes Krutthuset i Maridalen (Oslo), Galerie Emanuel Layr (Rome), STANDARD Gallery (Oslo) and VEDA (Florence). His works have also been included in exhibitions at venues such as the Musée d’Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris (Paris), Munchmuseet (Oslo), Tenerife Espacio de las Artes (Tenerife), Glassbox (Paris), Henie Onstad Art Center (Hovik), Kunsthall Oslo (Oslo), Westfälischer Kunstverein (Münster), Bergen Kunsthall (Bergen), Witte de With (Rotterdam) and Kiasma (Helsinki).
