Biography
Born on 20 August 1951 in the Copenhagen district of Valby, Jytte Høy graduated from the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts in 1989. Her early interest in crafts survives in her artwork which can be described as expanded sculpture. Her works consist of common, manufactured items such as parts of dolls and elastic bands. She has recently contributed to art exhibitions in the Arken Museum of Modern Art and in the Den Frie building. In addition to serving as rector of the Aarhus Academy for over 10 years, she has also had responsibilities at the Danish Art Foundation and on the boards of Charlottenborg and the Overgaden Art Institute.
