IDA RETZ WESSBERG

Within the Artists-in-Residence Program, CCA is delighted to host the artist Ida Retz Wessberg. Born in 1986 in Denmark, Retz Wessberg graduated from The School of Sculpture Charlottenborg, The Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts in 2018. She is a sculptor with a critical and historical approach, working with themes such as the body, gender and immateriality. Ida uses traditional sculptural materials such as plaster, as well as modern materials such air bubble wrap. She has a particular interest in air and is concerned with how the history and perceived values of materials, as well as their internal hierarchies, affect the way we encounter sculpture. Ida currently lives and works in Copenhagen and will be staying in Studio Azul during February 2023.
