Brigitte Louter

Brigitte Louter (°1996, NL) is a visual artist based in Amsterdam.

Her practice encompasses installation, sculpture, drawing and occasionally moving components, using any material that suits her. She is interested in humanity’s continuous attempts to order, measure and map everything in search for world understanding. A search that can exist in a small act or a megalomaniac gesture. The failures inherent to these pursuits are at the center of her work. With an attention for (im)practicality, (im)possibility and (in)visibility, she hopes to create curious narratives that are structured by slippery and absurd logic. Often (mis)using visual elements and solutions used in data visualization, educational contexts and measuring instruments.

In 2022 she set the world record for the 'Largest folding measuring ruler'.
