Mette Riise (b. 1992), MFA, based in CPH.
In a world of PowerPoint slides, tight suits, climate reports, and artificial grass, Riise explores: ‘What is the role and value of the artist in the capitalocene?’ This question is addressed both theoretically and practically when she immerses herself in industries such as the stand-up comedy market, the TV world, or by taking residency in an accounting department. The result is self-involved performative, installation-based, and video-driven works that visually draw from both the front- and backstage of the commercial formats she investigates. In this intersection of economic rationale, climate modelling, institutional critique, systems thinking, and popular culture, Riise is to be found in a critical, post-critical, paradoxically humorous, and profoundly serious quest for value.
