Artist in Residence, Stockholm, 3 November 2025–27 April 2026

Stina Persson, born in Burträsk, Sweden, and based in Stockholm, works with sculpture in the intersection between the figurative and the abstract. She seeks presence in the act itself and the transcendental in technique, where the material and the immaterial cross. Her practice is often grounded in history and care, but the question of form — how it comes into being and gains validity — remains ever-present.
