Liv Strand (b´71 Södertälje/Sweden) Lives and works in Stockholm/Sweden. Selected exhibitions/projects: Kapsel, Galleri Mia Sundberg, Stockholm/2003 Banderolltillverkning, BB/Galleri Lars Bohman, Stockholm/2003; Blinka lilla lampa där i din affär, i lampaffären Norrmalms Elektriska AB, Stockholm/2002 Liv Strand is an artist living and working in Stockholm, Sweden. She is mainly working with fragile and mobile sculptures, often with mechanical elements that make some kind of rattling sound. The sculptures are not made with an ekvilibristic attitude, rather cheap or found material joint together in a simple way, but nevertheless evoking humorstic and poetic notions. Liv Strand´s work often tends to put a twist to a real event aiming to make this event or similar fellow-events to appear refreshed as a fundamental situation. Her work considers life situations and stresses the power of fantasy in inexperienced thoughts.
