I have created a sitespecific installation for the danish painting collection Nivaagaard Malerisamling
The installation will be on view until August 25th 2019

About the installation:
The narrow passage in the museum’s northern end has been converted by the artist Julie Boserup into a collage installation that is both engulfing and varied. Using historical archive photos, landscape paintings and coloured surfaces, Boserup create an illusory space in which the borders between the inside and outside and the spatial and infinite meet.
Boserup has drawn inspiration from the museum’s history, its original facade and the beautiful art and scenic nature around us. Boserup is particularly interested in the wealth of visual material we are surrounded by, and she devotes her work to breathing new life into often forgotten and overlooked pictures.
In the installation she has created a landscape you can walk in to and see a lot of different connections between perspective, colour, space, the building and the paintings in the museum. The installation grows if you enter and stay for a while and see all the connections unfolds and the space some how get enlarged after a while.
The images in the installation quotes the architecture of the building and Nivaagaards digital archive of photos of their golden age painting collection. From vintage photo of the old neoclassical facade to wooden strips and pillars inspired by the postmodern architecture in the new section of the building. The photos of the golden age, has been chosen not so much from an arthistorical standpoint, as an ideosyncratic point of view where the paintings work as a kind of stock photos, representing foreground, background, midleground. Exploring new ways of using our national heritage of golden age paintings, making other details and element visible by enlarging, gluing and collaging.

At Home She’s a Tourist brings together a collection of artists and artworks that examine private, interior spaces and further, those that interrogate the surfaces, materials and activities which manifest in these dwellings. The exhibition will present an exploration of unknowing and strangeness within the realm of seemingly familiar domestic spaces. At Home She’s a Tourist will shine a spotlight upon an exciting mix of contemporary photographic artists who are negotiating the domestic space in inventive ways.

I am pleased to participate in this exciting group show as part of the Socle du Monde Biennale . The show is also an anonymous alternative auction. Se below for more info:

ART BARTER is a series of physical exhibitions in different cities where the public is invited to bid on anonymous artworks by artists living and working in the host city at that time. The only offer that is not valid at an Art Barter event is money!
Visitors have to get creative and try to win the artworks by offering their skills, possessions, services, hobbies or anything else that they can dream up, encouraging them to think about what they have that is unique and how much they personally value the work.
The events make artwork more accessible to all art enthusiasts, at the same time as questioning the notion of the ‘art market’. Each artwork is attributed only with a number as opposed to a name, price tag or title, thus creating bids that are based purely on the work’s aesthetic and emotional value, beyond geographies, market trends, media and any other influences. This also allow the artists to value their own work via non-monetary mechanisms as they ultimately decide which barter to accept.
To date, eleven Art Barter exhibitions have taken place across the world including in London, Berlin, New York, Madrid, Istanbul, Mexico City and Dubai with approximately 75% of all exhibited artworks having been exchanged. Art Barter has always been received with enthusiasm by artists and the community alike, offering a refreshing point of entry into the realms of collecting and exhibiting.

JULIE BOSERUP
MISLEADING PERSPECTIVES
SEPTEMBER 15 – NOVEMBER 26, 2016

Sous Les Etoiles Gallery is pleased to present emerging artist and photographer Julie Boserup’s premiere exhibition with the gallery, “Misleading Perspectives,” on view September 15 through November 26, 2016. An opening reception with the artist will be held on Thursday, September 15, 6-8pm, and an artist talk is scheduled the following Monday, September 19, at 7pm.

This collection of recently completed new work was commissioned by Sous Les Etoiles Gallery, and is the first-ever artist commission by the gallery. This exhibition was also made possible with the support and assistance of the Museum of the City of New York, whose famed Wurts Brothers Collection served as the initial structure for Boserup’s unique series of large-scale collages.

Inspired by the Wurts Bros.’s novel technique of aligning ground level shots of skyscrapers with images taken from the upper levels of a nearby building, Boserup adds found images, drawing, geological images and her own photographs shot in the streets of New York to an enlarged digital print from the archive. Whereas Lionel Wurts chose his technique of combined images to compensate for the misleading perspective of the bystander’s view, Boserup crafts new visions of the historical document in order to add layers of meaning, mingling both the familiar and fantastical. The NYC-specific series also features early 20th century documentation of the unfinished Queensboro Bridge, culled from the archives of the New-York Historical Society.

Danish artist Julie Boserup’s unorthodox use of the photographic image has made her an exciting new addition to the contemporary photographic scene. Making use of various image sources such as travel guides and her own photographs, Boserup, b. 1976, operates on a low-tech threshold between collage and drawing, and digital and analog techniques. Her first major museum exhibition at the National Museum of Photography in Copenhagen is currently on view through February 2017. In this exhibition, she presents a large series of collages based on archival photographs from Denmark’s Royal Library.

Since graduating from London’s Chelsea College of Art in 2002, Julie Boserup has exhibited extensively throughout Denmark, received the Else and Henning Jensens Painting Award in 2011 and 2013, and was presented a special Talent development award from the Danish Arts Foundation in 2005. She currently lives and works in Copenhagen.

ARTIST TALK BY JULIE BOSERUP

New exhibition at the National Museum of Photography, Copenhagen.
http://www.kb.dk/en/dia/udstillinger/boserup_lose.html

We built a house is an exhibition about architecture, dreams and destruction. It presents new works by two outstanding contemporary artists who for a whole year have worked with selected photographs in the collection at The Royal Library.

Can one build a photograph? In a new photo exhibition the visual artists Søren Lose and Julie Boserup make a number of attempts. Using extensive collages and installations they build up three-dimensional versions of historical photos of architecture. For two years, Julie Boserup and Søren Lose have researched in The Royal Library’s archive of over 17 million historical photographs. From their hiding-place they have extracted photographs of grandiose church architecture and functionalist landmarks, and in the hands of the two visual artists the hidden treasures of the archive gain a new lease of life.

The exhibition We built a house shows twenty new works in which the two artists investigate the various meanings of architecture, and how architecture is represented in the photograph. Architecture is an expression of power and dreams, which the architecture photographer seeks to make visible as a vision of the building or documentation for posterity. Public buildings are monuments to the ideals society has of the good life, as these ideals were at the time the building was built. Gothic cathedrals soared heavenwards and expressed the then view of the world, while the sober 20th century colleges of educational buildings express the will to provide education for all. The artists have processed the images by enlarging, cutting, folding, extending, drawing and sewing new versions of the historical photographs, and in this way they have underlined both the changing meanings of architecture and the effects that can be produced by the architectural photograph.

Julie Boserup’s new exhibition at Peter Lav Gallery takes us to places that are normally hidden, forgotten or unnoticed. In her new series of architectural collages entitled Leisure, Boserup deals with places like Simon Spies’ tennis court behind Vesterport, a never realized swimming pool in the Danish National Bank and a much-debated badminton hall in a backyard on Amager, places that all are destined for recreational physical activities.

Julie Boserup seeks out the surplus of visual information in contemporary media culture. Her point of departure is found material such as old posters, outdated travel guides, imagery found on the internet, in promotional material or architectural monographs that she combines with her own snapshots and other material visually, metaphorically or thematically related to the subject matter at hand.
