ABOUT
Po is born 1973 and is primarily based in Stockholm, Sweden. As an artist he works narratively with images, text and curatorial. Several of his recent projects have focused on public art, democracy of public space and how our positions may alter depending on our environment and perception.
Po is part of the art duo
Trial and Error together with artist Janna Holmstedt. He is also art consultant in Haninge, part of Konsthall C and Vice Chairman at Kfr Sthlm.


STATEMENT
I work primarilly with human orientation: How we position ourselves as individuals and as a species. This includes questions about our history and future, as well as perception, normativity and how we construct our societies and (public) spaces.
I am an artist who also work as a curator and as an art consultant. As I often work with the same issues in these feilds, the roles can intertwine and in many cases my curatorial projects are part of my art. One example of this is the exhibition
Konsthall SE in Stockholm 2009.
I mainly work with konceptuall narrative art. Often with medias such as image, text, installation and intervention. I also work in constellations, for short or longer periods, and primarilly in
Trial and Error with a focus on narrative monuments and themes such as nation branding and national identity.
