Ellen Martine Heuser (1990, Copenhagen) is a sculptor and art theorist, based in Lemvig, DK.
A graduate of HFBK University of Fine Arts Hamburg, from the Dept. of Sculpture (MFA, 2018) and the Dept. of Theory & History (MFA, 2023).
Heuser's practice unfolds in the intersection between ancient monuments and contemporary art, where through earthworks, site-specific installations, and sculpture she explores and questions human concepts of civilization, commemorative practices and cultural landscapes. Her artistic method has been described as 'Körper-Schreiben' implementing physical work in the creation of her works.
She has recently contributed to the research project Anthropogenic Heathlands (Aarhus University/Moesgaard, 2023–25) and participated in Inland Academy (Campo Adentro (ES), 2024-25), engaging with post-contemporary art and pastoralism.
Having exhibited widely in both Denmark and abroad, recent and upcoming projects includes An Eye for Landscape (Esrum Kloster & Møllegård, 2026), Hedens Kunst (Ikast-Brande Municipality, 2026) Britzenale 5 (KGA Zufriedenheit, Berlin, 2025), Memorial That Unveils Its Being in the Heathland (AU/MoMu, 2023-25), KENOTAPH (NORD) – MAUSOLEUM (MAIOR-MINOR) – QUADRAT (Læsø AiR, 2022) and Not a civilization, but you, (solo, Kunstverein Göttingen, 2022).
