(she/her · b. 1981, Örebro)
Sara Wallgren (b. 1981, Örebro) lives outside Vetlanda. She often works with drawing, sound and sculpture as a language. Her works are like carefully executed material studies where the physical surface becomes a resonance base for what cannot be heard – vibrations, signals, mental movements. Through the pencil line, the electrical resistance of graphite and the discipline of repetition, she seeks to trace states of concentration, worry or presence.
Her practice moves at the limits of human perception: how a line can become a sound, a breath an image. The analytical meets the intuitive, and in the encounter a quiet drama between control and dissolution arises. Wallgren is educated at Malmö Academy of Fine Arts and The Cooper Union in New York, and has lived and worked in Berlin for many years. She also helps run an art gallery in a poster cabinet at the mission house in Södra Karstorp.
