« Marianne Holm Hansen works across media including writing, drawing, photography, video and new technologies. With a focus on interpretation, her work interrogates, employs, exploits and re-appropriates, organizing systems, established methodologies, behaviours and habits, to question how we come to experience things as we do and, to what extent, an awareness of this can open up the potential for alternative experiences to form. Essentially, her practice is an attempt to both understand and challenge existing perceptions — to uncover and interrogate the structures through which we are taught to operate, think and respond, and, in turn, to practically test how they may be used and applied, differently, to generate new ways of thinking and doing.

Often responding to specific sites and situations, the development of the work itself includes aspects of independent studio practice, research, conversation, and collaboration. The latter most often takes place through residencies, commissioned events or self-initiated projects that provides a forum for exchange, development and public assessment of work and its ideas. In line with this she has, for the past 10 years, consistently collaborated with diverse institutions, museums, and galleries to produce workshops. Participatory projects and events that enable discussion, exchange and communal knowledge production across disciplines and themes. »
