Anna Sagström

Anna Sagström, born 1985 in Fagersta, Sweden, lives and works in Berlin.

Sagström’s work uses metals, sound and materiality at the intersection of technological and biological advancement to put focus on issues concerning civilization shifts and patterns, consumption trends, historicized structures and the rural periphery. Sagström studied at the Glasgow School of Art and Konstfack University of Arts, Crafts and Design in Stockholm and between 2011–2017 ran Minibar, an artist run gallery space in Stockholm.

Recently her work has been shown in solo and group shows in New York, Berlin, Stockholm, San Francisco, Bielefeld, Dublin, Gothenburg and Malmö. This year she started Country Music with collaborators Daniel Iinatti and Per Törnberg, a platform for music and other mediums that aims to understand (club) music outside of metropolitan milieus and critically examine and promote the (so called, or self defined) periphery, using tempo and speed as the lens and tool through which to look at material, economical, geographical and democratic circumstances concerning the ‘countryside’ and a new country music.

She is preparing for a solo exhibition Galerie Ferdinanda Baumanna in Prague, opening September 2017.
