Biography


Vilhelm Christensen (1984, NO) is an artist exploring ideas and questions related to infrastructure, maintenance, labour and time. His conceptual and often ephemeral work examine and reveal the social and material conditions of institutions and sites. Approaching the exhibition as work and form, he creates temporal situations in the space and context he works with. This includes interventions, installations, displacements, infrastructural gestures, residue, and sculptures of found material.

In 2023 Christensen presented the solo exhibition I Was Moved at the former Munch Museum, an initiative questioning the afterlife and value of defunctionalized care tools, inventory and spaces left behind by the institution. Other recent or forthcoming exhibitions include Oslo Kunstforening (2024), House of Foundation, Moss (2025), KORO – Public Art Norway (2027), and UKS – Young Artists' Society (2027). 

Previously, Christensen has also exhibited individually and collectively at institutions such as Henie Onstad Art Center, The National Museum Norway, Oslo Pilot/OsloBiennalen, Oslo Architecture Triennale, 0047, and Kunsthall Oslo. He is represented in the collections of the National Museum in Norway, International Library of Fashion Resarch (ILFR), and FILMFORM – The Art Film and Video Archive, Stockholm. In 2014 he was awarded the Anders Jahre Prize for Young Artists. He has been teaching and lecturing at schools such as Oslo National Academy of the Arts, Meiji University in Tokyo, and Oslo School of Architecture. 
Christensen holds a Master of Fine Arts from Malmö Art Academy, and completed postmaster studies in art and public space at the Royal Institute of Art in Stockholm. He also holds a Master of Architecture from Oslo School of Architecture, including studies at SCI-Arc in Los Angeles.
