Tulle Ruth

Tulle Ruth (b. 1962, Denmark) is a visual artist working with sculpture and installations that incorporate sound. Her artistic practice explores themes related to everyday communication, and she uses a diverse range of methods, including science, field recordings, 3D sound, and experimental techniques. Ruth treats the entire landscape as both material and exhibition space for her work. Her interdisciplinary approach and collaborations cut across various fields. Her roles as an artist include sculptor, performer, producer, and curator, with a particular focus on highlighting sound art.

Ruth has toured extensively in the Nordic region with projects such as The Wind-powered Street Organ, Drive In of Sound Art, and TRACKS. These works are community-oriented, often created in collaboration with the locals. Since 2008, her outdoor works have been powered off the grid, using sustainable energy from her own solar and wind power systems.

Ruth’s education includes studies at Bergen Academy of Fine Arts, Studio Arts at Concordia University Canada, and Media Art at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts. She has exhibited both locally and internationally, participated in festivals like Ultima Contemporary Music Festival/NOTAM and the Fall Exhibition, and has received awards for her work.

Currently, Tulle Ruth lives and works in Fredrikstad, Norway, where she combines her career as a visual artist with her work as an occupational therapist.
