Rose Eken (1976) lives and works in London and in Copenhagen . She has
a Master of Art from Royal College of Art, London , UK . She works
in a variety of media focusing on drawing, embroidery, sculpture-
and video-installation. The aura, fragility and physical detritus
surrounding a (rock) performance is a source of inspiration. Her
hand-made style and miniature models references the DIY of punk
and the combination of audacity and fragility that comes with it;
suspending her work somewhere between the very sketchy and overtly
obsessive. Drawing on the melancholy and romance of music she unpicks
the processes through which particular spaces and pop-cultural
objects have become embedded within the collective consciousness
thus activating the viewers private memory and dreams allowing for
new and personal narratives to emerge.

Recent solo exhibitions include ‘Electric Ladyland’ at DUNK! in
Copenhagen DK and "Song with No Name" in conjunction with undertaking
an artist residency at SAIR; Sølyst Artists in Residence Center,
Jyderup, DK.

Recent group shows include ‘We Meet Under Tables’, Esplanaden 3,
Copenhagen , DK, Through The Looking Glass at SVG3 in Glasgow , UK and
‘John, I’m Only Dancing’ at The John Jones Project Space in London ,
UK . She is currently also exhibiting in a Fine Selection at Beaver
Projects in Copenhagen , DK.
