Biography
Theodor Nymark (b. 1997) is a Danish artist, filmmaker, and curator based in Copenhagen, Denmark. He holds a Master’s degree from the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts under Simon Dybbroe Møller’s class. Selected exhibitions include Nivaagaard’s Malerisamling, AAAA Nordhavn, RAINRAIN Gallery (New York), Servando Gallery (Havana, Cuba), Kerka Gallery (St. Petersburg), Den Frie Centre of Contemporary Art (Copenhagen), Magma Maria (Offenbach), Deutsche Film Institut (Düsseldorf), Zirka.Space (Munich), Kunsthal Charlottenborg (Copenhagen), Kur Space (Vienna), Garage 9 Gallery (Bologna), the International Biennale of Tashkent (Uzbekistan), and Partara Gallery (Tbilisi).
Since 2017, Nymark has founded and curated the exhibition space Salon 75, located in Copenhagen. Recent notable curatorial projects include exhibitions at RAINRAIN Gallery (New York), The Balcony (The Hague), Berlinskej Model (Prague), Fabrika CCI (Moscow), and Spazio Orr (Brescia).
As an artist and curator, Theodor Nymark systematically examines the metaphorical and physical conceptions of the environment, engaging with it by exploring the role of spirituality in a post-industrial world. Through a narrative and research-based approach, Nymark addresses the landscape by investigating themes such as art history, national identity, land politics, collective memory, and local architecture, while exploring their interconnections and impact on ecological thinking and governance.
