KAJSA MAGNARSSON (S) Curator
| Kajsa Magnarsson (1985-) is a Swedish sound artist, performer and curator. She lives in Gothenburg, Sweden and in Berlin, Germany. Her work mostly deals with political or sociological subjects, exploring objects and phenomena with a curious and reflective eye, never shying away from provocative topics. Magnarsson doesn’t want to project an opinion on the listener or viewer, but rather make the audience reflect by themselves. She works in several artistic fields, from building sound sculptures to making films or playing with her electroclash alter-ego La Katla. Sometimes she works in collaborations, sometimes alone, but it is important for her to be a part of the artistic collective of our time, and she does this by keeping an ear to the ground and her eyes on the world. She started to work as a curator for the Bzzz! International Sound Art Festival in 2014 at Harp Art Lab in Harplinge, Sweden, and is since then the permanent sound art curator at Harp Art Lab. Magnarsson is the founder and current chair person of the Swedish Society of Sound Art (Svenska Ljudkonstföreningen). |
