Ruth Campau
Ruth Campau works in an expanded field where the work’s interaction with the surrounding environment is essential. Her mark is the idea that with a concentrated brushstroke, she can convey presence by translating and freezing it solid onto a surface; brushstrokes immortalize the body’s movement. Her jumping off point is the notion of an infinite painting, where what she is showing is merely a segment of a larger painting and, as such, merely a kind of representative of a human presence. Accordingly, the complex of issues that are prevalent in the very execution takes on a great deal of importance and the body, motion and time become decisive key factors in her work.
Ruth Campau’s work has been shown at Baltic Sea Record 2013, Stadtgalerie Kiel; Sculpture by the Sea 2013, Aarhus; KØS Museum of Art in Public Spaces, Køge, 2013; Designmuseet Danmark, Copenhagen, 2013; Esbjerg Kunstmuseum, 2012; The National Museum, Copenhagen, 2012; Gallery Hartwich Rügen, Berlin, 2012; PS Projectspace, Amsterdam, 2012; Gallery Asbaek, Copenhagen, 2011; Preview, Tempelhof, Berlin 2010 and KUNSTEN Museum of Modern Art, Aalborg, 2010. Her work is in the collections of serveral museums including ARKEN Museum of Modern Art, Ishøj, KUNSTEN Museum of Modern Art, Aalborg, and the Esbjerg Kunstmuseum. Campau lives and works in Copenhagen.
