Martin Sjöberg, born in 1957 in Uppsala, is a Swedish conceptual artist who focuses on themes such as identity, masculinity, and violence. He studied at Konstfack in Stockholm and participated in the Whitney Museum’s Independent Study Program in New York. Sjöberg’s work is characterized by a bodily and performative expression, where the male body often serves as a symbol for both personal and societal issues.
Sjöberg’s first solo exhibition, Skinheads (1983) at Kulturhuset in Stockholm, took place before he began his formal art education. In 1993, he presented Empathy II at Moderna Museet, a work that used war imagery and spatial interventions to confront mainly male visitors with questions of guilt, identification, and distance.
He has exhibited both nationally and internationally, including at Wetterling Gallery, Moderna Museet, and in the group exhibition Representation and the Body at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Chicago.
