About the artist

Martin Brandt Hansen (b. 1990 in Nuuk, Greenland) lives and works in Copenhagen. Brandt Hansen primarily works in sculpture and installation, with a distinctive style rooted in his Greenlandic heritage. His practice merges Western mass culture and art history with Inuit mythology, anthropology, and ethnographic methods.
Historically, Greenlandic art history has been told, written, and displayed from an outsider’s perspective. The artistic creations of Greenlandic people have often been categorized as primitive and non-Western. In his work, Brandt Hansen challenges these traditional narratives, rethinking how Greenlandic art and culture are exhibited and displayed—shifting perspectives and articulating new narratives.

His work has been widely covered by international media including Art Matter, Kunstkritikk, Kristeligt Dagblad and Politiken.
