Den danske billedkunstner Rasmus Myrup (f. 1991) arbejder fra Gl. Holtegaards Art Residency i Pietrasanta, Italien, hvor han udforsker nye retninger i sit kunstneriske arbejde.
Myrups arbejde undersøger skrøbeligheden og det foranderlige potentiale i vores fælles forestillinger om verden. Med udgangspunkt i blandt andet folketro, planter, historieskrivning og sprogets omskiftelighed undersøger han, hvordan fortiden og vores kollektive fortællinger kan genfortolkes og opleves på ny.
Gennem skulpturer, tegninger og malerier udforsker han, hvor formbar vores forståelse af det at være menneske er – og hvordan vores forestillinger både kan manipuleres og forandres.
Rasmus Myrup har blandt andet udstillet på O – Overgaden i København, ARoS og Museum Sønderjylland. Hans værker indgår i samlingerne hos blandt andre Statens Museum for Kunst, ARoS, Malmö Art Museum og Fuglsang Kunstmuseum.
Vi glæder os til at følge hans arbejde under opholdet i Pietrasanta.

The danish artist Rasmus Myrup (b. 1991) is currently working at Gl. Holtegaard’s Art Residency in Pietrasanta, Italy, where he is exploring new directions in his artistic practice.
Myrup investigates how our shared perceptions of the world are shaped and transformed. Drawing on folklore, plants, historical narratives and the ever-changing nature of language, he explores how the past and our collective stories can be reinterpreted and take on new meaning.
Through his art, he challenges our understanding of what it means to be human and how this understanding can be influenced and transformed.
Rasmus Myrup has exhibited at O – Overgaden in Copenhagen, ARoS and Museum Sønderjylland, among others. His works are held in the collections of the National Gallery of Denmark, ARoS, Malmö Art Museum and Fuglsang Art Museum.
We look forward to following his work during his residency in Pietrasanta.
