Interiors + Territories is a 2018 solo exhibition by Marie Irmgard Birkedal (Marie Birkedal) at Galerie1214, Berlin, bringing together large-scale oil paintings on canvas, interiors, unusual still lifes and works on paper from a body of work developed since 2014. In the accompanying text, Dr. phil. Peter Kohlhaas connects the paintings to the Danish painter and ceramicist Axel Salto, who, writing about Matisse a century earlier, described “supernatural interiors.” Kohlhaas proposes the term “para-natural” for Birkedal’s interiors: nature returns almost jungle-like into supposedly enclosed domestic space, while colour models inner worlds and forms assert themselves with their own physical presence. Instead of conventional views into rooms, the paintings create breakthroughs, as though walls have opened and the interior is reclaiming something civilisation has withheld from it. At the same time, the works draw on Spanish and Dutch Siglo de Oro and Baroque still life. Plants, objects, furniture and architectural structures are assembled and dissolved again through colour and abstraction. The exhibition considers dwelling, memory, domestic space and the tension between stability and the nomadic, asking how interiors can hold or release memories and how a space for sociability might exist beyond consumption.

Savage Glitter is a 2018 solo exhibition by Marie Irmgard Birkedal (Marie Birkedal) at Galerie1214 in Berlin, presented from 27 April to 1 June 2018 during Gallery Weekend Berlin. The exhibition brings together oil paintings on canvas and works from the Berlin Flower Series (2014–2018), moving between still life, interior, abstraction and recognizable form. The paintings combine impasto passages with highly diluted oil paint and linseed oil, allowing gravity, drying time, layering, runs, cracks and changes in surface to become part of the painting process. The title Savage Glitter comes from Joy Williams’s novel The Quick and the Dead and evokes a tension between wilderness and society, the romantic and the constructed, nature and ornament. The exhibition is accompanied by the text Art | History | Looking by Dr. phil. Peter Kohlhaas, which considers Birkedal’s use of colour, waiting, surface, observation and what she describes as “passive astonishment.”
