More information

In 2018 Linnéa Sjöberg was awarded the Maria Bonnier Dahlin Foundation grant. The jury’s statement was:
“For some time, Sjöberg has been noted in her art for the fact that she ‘time and again immerses herself in the work itself’. Employing various methods, she embodies and adopts different personas and roles over a period of time, for example in The Business Woman, a role she performed for 1.5 years. She also ran a mobile tattoo parlour in her work ”Salong Flyttkartong” and most recently performed as a Viking woman.”

In 2017 Linnéa Sjöberg came across the VHS archive of the German public service television channel Deutsche Welle. If her previous weaves have intensively unravelled the memory of the individual – an upbringing in Strömsund, the performance work Business Woman – then German Wave is perhaps more concerned with collective memory. What did the world look like before we could follow a live broadcast, before we could say exactly where we were on September 11? What we see on TV etches itself into our memory, our shared view of reality formed and refined by the information sent out. In the process of weaving these stored memories are literally entwined to the point of complete erasure – no image or sound remains. The room is instead filled with long swathes of weaved magnetic tape and pieces of fur, a monument to the obsolete in an accelerated stage of synthetic fossilisation.

Sjöberg's most recent exhibition was a solo presentation "Upwards Through The Ceiling" at Company Gallery, New York, December 2019 – February 2020.
