Pia Rönicke was born in 1974 in Roskilde, Denmark. Her works are heterogeneous collages that combine music, photos, comics, magazine clippings, and drawings into investigations of urban planning and Modernist conceptions of the city. Her films are part of an ongoing investigation of the urban landscape and the relationship between architectural utopias and reality. Although her works formally revisit Dadaistic experiments and the critical montage practices of the 1960s and 1970s, they raise contemporary questions about the politics and conventions of familiar environments and their effects on everyday life. She is represented by gb agency in Paris and Andersen’s Contemporary Art in Copenhagen. Pia Rönicke lives and works in Los Angeles and Copenhagen.
