About Linda Persson
Linda Persson mainly works through sculptural and cinematic methods that contextualizes the colonial residue through landscapes, body and language. Her work uses alchemical processes and methods which often develop through residencies and commissions over long-term and space specific contexts, and is often collaborative. Her materials are clay, glass, performance, film / video, sound, wood, metal- anything goes.
She holds a BA and MA in fine art from Chelsea College of Art & Design, London and Winchester School of Art, UK (1999-2006) and did one research year as part of Mejan Residency at the Royal Academy of Arts, Stockholm (2011-12). She has been involved in many artists run places and projects in London and Australia and much of her practice is about collaboration and DIY.
Linda har deltagit i Momentum-biennalen (2017) och ingick i boken 100 Sculptors of Tomorrow av förlaget Thames & Hudson (2019). Hennes verk finns representerade på Gwalia museum i Goldfields Australia, Haninge kommun, Örebro museum och Whitechapel gallery London för att nämna några.
