Matias Kiil (b. 1995, Stavanger) is currently finishing his MFA at the National Academy of Fine Arts in Oslo. His practice explores fractures, intervals and displacements in the social, the personal and the political, through sculpture and installation. Employing common objects and aspects of the everyday to stage critical scenarios around urbanistic visions and collective ecologies, oscillating between sincerity and satire. With an interest in mechanism and architecture as physical and metaphysical structures, the work aims to problematize contemporary value systems in the embodied experience of the western context.
He is included in the annual international art festival, Stavanger Secession (2025), curated by Charles Teysou (FR) and Pierre Alexandre Mateos (FR) and has previously exhibited at Hulias (Oslo), Suvatne & Erakovic (Basel) Kunsthall Stavanger, Borgenheim Rosenhoff (Oslo) and New Galerie (Paris).
