FOS

FOS (Thomas Poulsen)

Born in Copenhagen, DK, 1971
Lives and works in Copenhagen, DK and Venice, IT

FOS works in a diverse array of artistic fields, seamlessly shifting between genres and materials such as sculpture, installation, music, architecture, and design. Often pondering over how we as social beings are defined by the language of objects and space. FOS’ works asks how art can function as an alternative to the systemic regulation of behavior in civil society; often placed in social spaces, creating ’Social Designs’; a hybrid form connecting design and architecture, in a search of new possibilities of sociality.

FOS has, in addition to his public works, which includes Risbjerggaard Kulturhus and Vestre Fjordpark, designed flagship stores for brands such as CELINE and BOYY. He has presented solo exhibitions at SMK – National Gallery of Denmark, Copenhagen; ICA Studio, London; Gl. Strand, Copenhagen; Kunsthal Charlottenborg, Copenhagen; SCAD Museum of Art, Savannah, Georgia; Le Bicolore, Paris; and Museo Anahuacalli, Mexico City.
