SEBASTIAN MÜGGE
Sebastian Mügge (b. 1981 in Bonn, DE) is a German-Swedish interdisciplinary artist based in Umeå, SE. He received his MFA from Umeå Academy of Fine Arts in 2011.
In his practice he works in the intersection of painting, 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- integration instead of segregation. 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 recycling/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 historical and every day references, mixtures of cultural backgrounds and art historical quotations. Through his practice he is exploring the performative aspect of the studio production where a dialogue between the systematic and the open-ended is created. He is exploiting as well the poetic potential and aesthetic value of found objects and analyzing their significance for consumerist societies. In general his work can be described as an exhalation of existentialist fear.
His work has been exhibited at Künstlerhaus Bethanien (Berlin, DE), Kristianstads konsthall (SE), Kunsthistorisches Institut der Universität Bonn (DE), Bildmuseet (Umeå, SE), Centre d’artistes Caravansérail (Rimouski, CA), Survival Kit International Contemporary Art Festival (Sigulda/Riga, LV), Härnösands Konsthall (SE), Musée des beaux-arts de Mont-Saint-Hilaire (CA), Kuntsi Museum of Modern Art (Vaasa, FI), Kalmar Konstmuseum (SE), Galerie Gerken (Berlin, DE), Västerbottens Museum (Umeå, SE), SIM Gallery (Reykjavik, IS), 126 Gallery (Galway, IE), and Aabenraa Artweek - Biennale for international contemporary art (DK).
He is the recipient of numerous grants and awards including the Höga-Kusten Grant, the Cultural Boost Grant and the two-year working grant from the Swedish Arts Grants Committee. Sebastian Mügge was recently awarded the Ester Lindahl Travel Grant, the Sparbanksstiftelsen Norrland Art Grant, the STEP Beyond Travel Grant and the Byggnads Culture Grant.
Forthcoming projects include a public art commission for the city of Petrozavodsk (RU), as well as solo shows at Galleri 54 (Gothenburg, SE) Medvezhegorsk Regional Museum (RU), Galleri Gotland (Visby, SE), DAS ESSZIMMER – Raum für Kunst+, Bonn (DE) and Gislaveds Konsthall (SE).
He has undertaken several residencies and projects in Estonia, Finland, Russia, Georgia, Latvia, Sweden, Ireland, Kosovo, Iceland and Denmark.
