About

Malin Pettersson Öberg is a Swedish visual artist and writer as well as a teacher in the arts. Her narrative based-videos and installations are grounded in a sincere curiosity and engagement with the surrounding world, through multi-disciplinary knowledge exchanges. This manifests in meditative and intimate works, where everyday encounters, research, and intertextual dialogues between art works and ideas, meet audiovisual exploration. Her in-depth investigations often address existential, social and political issues, such as the complex urban planning process of the City of Stockholm or the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic. Pettersson Öberg has taken part in exhibitions and film festivals in Sweden and internationally, among them OEI (2020), Rencontres Internationales (2018), ArkDes (2018), Index (2017), Oberhausen International Short Film Festival (2016, 2014) and Bonniers Konsthall (2011, 2007). A selection of her videos are distributed by Filmform. She is a recent recipient of a two-year working grant from the Swedish Arts Grants Committee and has her studio at Slakthusateljéerna in Stockholm. Between 2018 and 2020, Pettersson Öberg was on parental leave twice, for twelve and nine months.
