SEBASTIAN MÜGGE


Sebastian Mügge (b. 1981 in Bonn, DE) is a German-Swedish multidisciplinary artist currently based in Kristianstad, SE. He received his MFA from Umeå Academy of Fine Arts in 2011.

In his practice he works in the intersection of drawing, found objects, sculpture and installation. He often alternates these mediums as his intention is to find something which might connect these means of expression so they can become just one body of work. These projects, mostly based on expanding collections, can result in research-oriented and expressive site-specific, often monumental sculptural pieces. In his experimental approach the sensual aspect is crucial as its function is to get the viewer emotionally involved in the artwork, and furthermore stimulate his intellectual curiosity.
His work consists of sampling of ephemeral materials and carefully selected objects which are ready to be integrated in his art projects. In all mediums he hides a wide pool of symbols which he needs to investigate issues like identity, childhood, various conflicts impact on individuals’ daily life, irrational feeling of guilt, etc. Furthermore, he likes to play with mixtures of cultural backgrounds and art historical quotations. He is exploiting as well the poetic potential and aesthetic value of found objects and analyzing their significance for consumerist societies.

His work has been exhibited in venues such as The Koppel Project Hive (London, UK), OpenART Biennale (Örebro, SE), Södertälje Konsthall (SE), Vestfold Kunstsenter (Tønsberg, NO), Viborg Kunsthal (DK) Verkstad Konsthall (Norrköping, SE), DAS ESSZIMMER – Raum für Kunst+ (Bonn, DE), Kristianstads Konsthall (SE), Kluckyland, (Vienna, AT), Bildmuseet (Umeå, SE), Galleri 54 (Gothenburg, SE), Survival Kit International Contemporary Art Festival (Riga, LV), Musée des beaux-arts de Mont-Saint-Hilaire (CA), Kuntsi Museum of Modern Art (Vaasa, FI), Kalmar Konstmuseum (SE), Croxhapox (Ghent, BE), Västerbottens Museum (Umeå, SE), 126 Gallery (Galway, IE) and Aabenraa Artweek (DK).
He is the recipient of numerous grants and awards including the Region Västerbotten Art Grant, the two-year working grant from the Swedish Arts Grants Committee, the Ester Lindahl Travel Grant, the Sparbanksstiftelsen Norrland Art Grant as well as the Byggnads Culture Grant.
Forthcoming projects include exhibitions at Sogn og Fjordane Kunstmuseum (Førde, NO), Centre d`artistes Vaste et Vague (Carleton-sur-Mer, Quebec, CA), P8 Contemporary Art Gallery (Tel Aviv, IL), Sinne (Helsinki, FI), Galleri Rostrum (Malmö, SE), Studio 17 (Stavanger, NO), Kungsbacka Konsthall (SE), Sundsvalls Museum (SE), Trelleborgs Museum (SE), Supermarket Gallery (Budapest, HU), Kunstverein Baden (AT), P(ART)cours / Par(KUNST) - Biennial of contemporary art in public spaces (Brussels, BE) and Generator Projects (Dundee, UK).
