Julie Falk, DK

Julie Falk (b. 1991, Copenhagen) is a Danish sculptor whose practice explores form as something derived rather than made – emerging through processes of subtraction, wear, and continual recalibration.

Her works possess a quiet, provisional quality, where materials resist resolution and meaning unfolds gradually. Rather than asserting fixed objecthood, Falk’s sculptures inhabit a state of ongoing negotiation – shaped as much by duration and erosion as by deliberate intervention. What may initially appear to be constructed is often, in fact, worn away.

Falk works with materials such as cardboard, cast metal, marble remnants, and mobile phone footage, allowing each to test the boundaries between use and exhaustion, permanence and finitude. Her process draws on gestures of upkeep and repetition, questioning normative structures of productivity and value. In doing so, her practice proposes alternative modes of attention – ones attuned to subtle accumulation and slow transformation rather than immediate effect.

Installed in space, her works often register as understated and open-ended, inviting viewers into a heightened awareness of scale, process, and time. The works resist easy legibility, unfolding instead through sustained looking. Falk lives and works in Copenhagen. She has presented solo exhibitions at Overgaden – Institute of Contemporary Art, Copenhagen (2024), and Gl Strand, Copenhagen (2023), and has participated in group exhibitions internationally, including Inside-Out Art Museum, Beijing (2025). Her works are held in the collections of Sorø Art Museum, Copenhagen Municipality, the Danish Arts Foundation, and the New Carlsberg Foundation.
