Ditte Ejlerskov

Ditte Ejlerskov (born 1982) is a Danish contemporary artist. She was born in Frederikshavn, Denmark, and lives and works in Sweden.

The main tool in Ditte Ejlerskov's practice is media literacy. Most of Ejlerskov's work is founded on interactions with the Internet; written correspondences with email-scammers from exotic parts of the world, translations of trashy paparazzi photos into large scale abstract paintings or detailed medieval-looking copperplate etchings based on imagery from a contemporary music video. Her abstract and representational paintings analyse and explore the potential of painting as medium itself, as well as they are tools for interpreting our contemporary reality.[1][2][3][4]

Most of Ejlerskov's work has a feminist angle [5][6][7] and questions the space between the personal and the public; suggesting an individual experience within a stream of collective consciousness. The work "About: The Blank Pages" is a collaboration with EvaMarie Lindahl and it highlighs Taschen Basic Art - a book series that consists of 95 books of artists's biographies, 5 of which are of women artists.[8][9][10][11][12]

Ditte Ejlerskov is represented by Sommer & Kohl, Berlin, Germany [13]

For example at Malmö Konsthall[4] in Malmö, at Malmö Art Museum[14] in Malmö, at Skissernas Museum in Lund,[15] Uppsala Konstmuseum[16] in Uppsala and at Konstakademin[17] in Stockholm. She has also exhibited at Den Frie Udstillingsbygning and Kunsthal Charlottenborg in Copenhagen, Denmark, at CCA Andratx[18] in Andratx, Spain, at Bonn Art Museum[19] in Bonn, Germany, at Amos Anderson Art Museum[20] in Helsinki, Finland and at Barbara Davis Gallery in Houston, Texas, US.
