ABOUT
Kim Richard Adler Mejdahl graduated from the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts in 2019. Slaptstick humour and gothic horror meet up in Mejdahl's multifaceted work that often has its starting point in the artist's personal life story. Be it music album releases, film productions or large solo exhibition projects, Mejdahl's practice explore the topics of trauma-healing, our relationship to nature, spirituality, and gender identity.
Within few years Mejdahl has exhibited at Kunsthal Charlottenborg, Overgaden - Institute of Contemporary Art, KØN - Gender Museum Denmark, and Kunsthal Rønnebæksholm among other places. His video works have reached international audiences with screenings in France, the Netherlands, Germany, Iceland, Norway, and South Korea.
In 2018 Mejdahl received the Charlottenborg Spring Exhibition Solo Award, and in 2022 he was awarded a spot at The Danish Art Foundation's talent programme The Young Artistic Elite. In 2021 he recieved the Elna & C.T. Hollesen's Foundation Grant. Mejdahl's work is part of The National Gallery's collection.
