Birke Gorm (born 1986 in Hamburg, Germany) is a visual artist based in Vienna. Her approach to working with materials reflects the information that they carry and their immediate impact on society, some of which remains visible until today. She sets the autonomy of these materials in relation to traditional production techniques and the gender roles assigned to them, which in turn shape issues such as labour, self-optimisation, and societal processes of equality. She holds a master’s degree from the Academy of Fine Arts, Vienna, and a BA in Fashion and Textile Design from the Design School Kolding, Denmark.
In recent years, her work has been presented in solo exhibitions at O–Overgaden, Copenhagen; MQ Art Box, MuseumsQuartier Wien, Vienna; Croy Nielsen, Vienna; MAK – Museum of Applied Arts, Vienna; Museum Sønderjylland, Tønder; Politikens Forhal, Copenhagen; Vestjyllands Kunstpavillon, Videbæk; and in group exhibitions at Kraupa- Tuskany Zeidler, Berlin; Kunsthalle Wien; Martina Simeti, Milan; mumok – Museum moderner Kunst Stiftung Ludwig Wien, Vienna; the National Gallery of Denmark, Copenhagen; and Schirn Kunsthalle, Frankfurt. The artist is represented by the Croy Nielsen Gallery.
Her works are held in the collections of Kunsthaus Bregenz; Dom Museum, Vienna; Kunst- museum Brandts, Odense; Lentos Kunstmuseum Linz; MAK – Museum of Applied Arts, Vienna; mumok – Museum moderner Kunst Stiftung Ludwig Wien, Vienna; Museum der Moderne Salzburg; Museum Sønderjylland, Tønder; and the National Gallery of Denmark, Copenhagen.
