Klara Lidén: "Always Be Elsewhere"
Trained in art and architecture, Swedish artist Klara Lidén (born Stockholm, 1979) often uses
architectural interventions, hijacked materials, and the spaces behind something else to expose
some of the conventions on which society is based. In Elda för kråkorna (2008), she built up a series of makeshift walls from existing materials to create a new invisible space within a gallery to house local pigeons. Not only did it provide useless “heating for pigeons” (as its Swedish title, a local saying, is literally translated), but it also made the commercial gallery a negative space, accompanied by the noise (and the imaginable mess) of the birds. In other instances, she created an underground structure for living built on municipal property in Berlin, operated a year-long free alternative postal system in Stockholm, and reversed the usual logic of a commercial art fair to create an installation that was hidden behind one of the walls of her gallery’s booth—a kind of space to escape from the fair, which could be entered and occupied by anyone wh

Klara Liden (b. 1979, Stockholm) attended the School of Architecture, Royal School of Technology from 2000-2004, before studying at University College of Arts Crafts and Design, Konstfack from 2004-2007 (both Stockholm). Liden's multidisciplinary practice evades straightforward categorisation, traversing a range of media including video, performance, sculpture, structural intervention and installation. Her work often incorporates materials sourced from urban loci, which she rends anew and ripe for re-encounter with an inventive, and at times playful verve – a process she has described as ‘unbuilding’. With interests in architecture and that of its environments, social constructs surrounding material function, and at its centre the body in relation to these elements, her art is marked by an enduring exploration the physical and psychological bounds of the spaces – both public and private – we inhabit.
