Anna Viola Hallberg

Stockholm/Sweden | Website

Hallberg works from a project-based method with a multidisciplinary structure and often converge the roll of the artist and the curator. The notion of in-betweeness, both in private life and geopolitically are often put in focus.

The works by Anna Viola Hallberg include thorough research and are presented in art installations with fluid and multiple ways of interpretation.Photography, video, sound and text are used for installations or interventions. She is socially and politically engaged often the duration of work stretch over several years commitment. Central is her approach of everyday life and the rendering of collective memory and social justice topics. Hallberg has been working with these thematics in Russia, the US, Sweden, Belarus, Mexico, Austria, Lebanon and Ukraine.

Hallberg is a graduate from Stockholm Film School. She also holds a B.A in Curatorial and Cinema Studies from Stockholm University, Sweden (2003) and an M.Sc in International Museum Studies, University of Gothenburg (2008).

Artist Statement

My works are time and site sensitive, they insert disruptions in dominant narratives. The method is often research oriented, situating a select group or topic to intervene in a process to dismantle social or geopolitical contingencies. It does not explore objectivity as a philosophical reason, but is based in responsiveness to personal and collective testimonies and set in context to other pre-negotiated narratives to create new discursive contexts. In this essence I see art as a site for elasticity, for critical dialogues, for doubt, for attempts for re-establishing a sense of direction or rhythm to disengage with conformity.
I see my practice as a critical tool to reveal covert layers in society and explore the dimension of art as a reflective ground for consciousnesses of shared space and resources, from a vantage point committed to society a public entity. The works include thorough research and are presented in art installations with fluid and multiple ways of interpretation. Photography, video, sound and text are used for installations or interventions.
My curatorial practice is based on interpersonal skills and critical thinking on society where the art is a laboratory for trying new perspectives and through this, perhaps, move boundaries and barriers. Central is the approach of everyday life and the rendering of collective memory and social justice topics. My work as artist/ curator are socially and politically engaged. Often the duration of works stretch over several years commitment.
