Sofia Hultén (SE)
Using video, sculpture and photography Sofia Hultén reveals the inalienable characteristics of everyday objects. The individual histories of articles, like a steam roller or a sofa cushion, are contained in a patina of rust, scratches and dirt. Hultén finds integrity and dignity in these materials while the performative aspect of her practice embraces the absurd spirit of television sitcoms. Rather than confirming the maxim that the whole is more than the sum of its parts, Hultén exposes the parts themselves.
Sofia Hultén (b. 1972, Stockholm; SE) lives and works in Berlin. Recent exhibition venues include Museum Tinguely (2018; CH), Fundació Miró (2015; ES) 8th MOMENTUM Nordic Biennial of Contemporary Art (2015; NO) and Magasin 3 (2015; SE). She was awarded Moderna Museets Vänners Skulpturpris in 2011.
