Biography Tue Greenfort (Holbäk, Denmark, 1973)
Lives and works in Berlin.
Danish artist Tue Greenfort focuses on the flow of ideas and materials in the world. His practice bears comparison to both environmental and post-conceptual art as he works with diverse materials in order to explore ideas about the environment and recycling. Greenfort situates his work on the blurry boundary between nature and culture, investigating the ways in which the natural world manifests itself nowadays.
