Ellen Martine Heuser (1990, Copenhagen) is a sculptor, art theorist and shepherdess, based in Northwestern Jutland, Denmark.
A graduate of HFBK University of Fine Arts Hamburg, from the Dept. of Theory & History (MFA, 2023), under Dr. Hanne Loreck and Michael Beutler, as well as Dept. of Sculpture (MFA, 2018/BFA, 2015) under Pia Stadtbäumer and Ceal Floyer. In Warsaw she studied in the Faculty of Media Art, in the Studio of Spatial Activities of Mirosław Bałka and Art of the Public Domain of Krzysztof Wodiczko.
She took part in the postgraduate projects INLAND Academy - art, agroecology and territory (ES/FR, 2024-25) and Goldrausch Künstlerinnenprojekt (Berlin, 2019).
Heuser's practice unfolds in the intersection between ancient monuments and contemporary art, where through earthworks, site-specific installations, and sculpture she explores human concepts of civilization, commemorative practices and care of cultural landscapes. Her artistic method has been described as 'Körper-Schreiben' implementing physical work in the creation of her works.
Having exhibited widely in both Denmark and abroad, recent and projects includes Mindesmærker om gensidighed med heden (solo, Museet for Guldalderkunst, Lemvig 2026), Obracanie (Galeria Pracownia Wschodnia, Warsaw 2026), 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 (Aarhus University/Moesgaard, 2023-25), and Not a civilization, but you, (solo, Kunstverein Göttingen, 2022).
