Christine Ödlund’s work deals with the ability to transcend language barriers between people and plants, and barriers between the invisible and the visible.

Her interest in science as well as esoteric knowledge allows for surprising connotations. Her materials are plants and sounds, natural circuits and future visions, greenhouses and laboratory environments, occultism and science—all in a constant pendulum movement between the smallest particles and the unfathomable.

A selection of recent work by Christine Ödlund pre­sented at the museum asks us to rethink our relation­ship to plants and nature, and in turn opens up a con­versation about the limits of human knowledge. Sound waves have often been featured in Ödlund’s artworks. Displayed outdoors is the sculpture Tripod Amplifier (2018), it resembles a pointed mountain horizon made in a brutalist style of cast recycled aluminium and it embodies sound completely frozen in a moment.

Christine Ödlund lives and works in Stockholm. Her work has been shown in group exhibitions at the eighth Momentum Nordic Biennial of Contemporary Art in Moss, Norway (2015); the Marrakech Bienniale in Morocco (2014); the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam, Netherlands (2013); Lunds Konsthall in Lund, Sweden (2013); MOT – Museum of Contemporary Art Tokyo in Japan (2012); and the Moderna Exhibition for contem­porary Swedish Artists at Moderna Museet in Stock­holm (2010). Ödlund graduated from EMS Elektron­musikstudion (the Center for Swedish Electroacoustic Music and Sound Art), Stockholm in 2004, the Royal Institute of Art, Stockholm in 1996, and Konstfack, Stockholm in 1995.
