Nina Beier (Denmark - 1975) works with found objects whose value has been shaped collectively across different time periods, generations or global realities. Hybrid and unstable, the selected objects are elastic motifs that are forever mutating in a continuous state of transformation. Following an interest in objects that carry narratives about the fundamental power structures which our society is built on, Beier’s work digs into cultural codes that are particularly layered and contradictory. Her sculptures unpack the space between the intention, production, distribution, trading and use of her selected material and explores how these factors have changed over time.

Nina Beier has presented solo exhibitions at Rønnebæksholm, Denmark; Spike Island, Bristol, England; Kunstverein Hamburg, Germany; Contemporary Art Centre, Lithuania; Kunsthaus Glarus, Switzerland;  Kunsthall Charlottenborg, Denmark;  the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts, San Francisco, California; Mudam, Luxembourg; Contemporary Art Museum St. Louis.  Group shows include Kunsthaus Zürich, Walker Art Center in Minneapolis, Maxxi in Rome, Power Station of Art in Shanghai, Center Pompidou in Paris, Museum of Contemporary Art in Detroit, Hamburger Bahnhof in Berlin and the Hammer Museum in LA. Nina Beier lives and works in Copenhagen, where she runs the exhibition space AYE-AYE together with Simon Dybbroe Møller.
