Jóhan Martin Christiansen (b. Tórshavn, the Faroe Islands,1987) is currently working and living in Copenhagen, Denmark. He graduated (MFA) from Malmö Art Academy in 2014. In 2023/24 he took part of the year-long interdisciplinary course Of Public Interest at the Royal Institute of Fine Arts in Stockholm.  In 2023 Christiansen founded the artist run project space Bonne Espérance. How to handle a material, and how materials are handled within a specific context – physically, emotionally and philosophically – are among the questions that he pose in his practice. A practice including media such as installation, plasterreliefs, printmaking and video. In the materiality, forms and titles of the pieces, small deltas of meanings and connotations appear referring to natural and constructed environments, urban spaces and situations, language and translation, queer body experiences as well as the baroque and pop music.
