Cecilie Gravesen is a visual artist and curator. Her curatorial work sprouts from in-depth and playful dialogues, and as an advisor to artists she has acted as an independent critical eye, offering an elastic curatorial space defined either through temporary ‘lodging’ in galleries, or through writing about and conveying a specific practice. The curatorial projects draw on Cecilie’s artistic experience in discerning the subtle threads between works and concerns.

Projects include ‘The Babylon Case - a time capsule for our civilization’, an exhibition by artist duo J&K at the Pergamonmuseum in Berlin. Through working closely with London-based designers Åbake on information material for the exhibition, the tongue-in-cheek installation was claimed as part of the archaeological collection of the museum, adding a new layer to the artist’s ongoing questioning of knowledge production.
Writing and editing for art publications include essays on the artists Marie Lund and Nina Beier, whose work Cecilie presented at Zoo Artfair 2007 in the capacity of curator of M+R Projects, an independent satellite of M+R Gallery previously located on Kingsland Road in London. Her articles have been printed in exhibition catalogues and magazines, and she was co-editor of the anthology 69 on the Copenhagen Youth House.
