Press release, Januar 2024

Andersen’s is delighted to announce its first solo show of Melanie Kitti.

Melanie Kitti derives her writing and visual arts approach from a realm of disturbance, fragmentation, and interruption. She gained recognition for her highly regarded literary debut, "Half Urn, Half Grail" (published by Gyldendal in 2022), which compiles concise and evanescent observations about a family on the verge of dissolution, reflecting a corresponding mental state. In her painterly endeavors, she employs do-it-yourself fresco techniques on structures crafted from materials like plaster. By utilizing materials that defy preservation, she constructs a fragility that perpetually teeters on the brink of collapse.

Kind regards, Andersen’s

Melanie Kitti (b. 1986, Sweden) is educated at the Academy of Creative Writing in Copenhagen (2021), the Royal Danish Art Academy in Cph (2017-18) and the Academy of Fine Arts in Oslo (2013-19).

Opening: Friday, January 26, 4-8pm.
Exhibition period: January 26 - February 17, 2024.
