21st September 2025
At 3:00 P.M Sepänkyläntie 2 in Funkkis
Maia Torp Neergaard
(DK, she/her, 1993) is a visual artist based in Copenhagen. Her practice is rooted in documentary filmmaking, using analogue techniques that include developing and editing film stock by hand. Her work deals with concepts of inequality and home, and centers around community and the creation thereof. In a divided and complex world, the care for humans, animals and nature alike are key to Neergaard’s practice, as she investigates ways of living together and achieving unity.
About the ARTIST TALK
An invitation to the artistic practice of Maia Torp Neergaard
On 21st September, Maia will invite you to a presentation of the work she has done during her residency in her on-going project Reflections on soil and agriculture. For the first part of her stay she has worked alongside farm workers at two farms in Singsby and Solf deepening her method of working - and thereof learning - alongside the people she makes pieces with and about. The work touches on weather, home, animism, immigration, climate change, and gratitude.
The event will start with an analogue screening of some of the work in progress made in Finland, an artist talk about Maia’s methods of working and end with an open conversation with snacks and coffee.
The talk will be held in English.
We look forward to seeing you 21st September at 3:00 PM
Sepänkyläntie 2 in Funkkis
Their residency program has been kindly supported by Nordic Culture Point, Konstsamfundet, Taike, Svenska Kulturfonden and Vaasa city.
