Ellinor Åslund: Solo Exhibition
A polymath of artistic forms—spanning sculpture, musical films, and live performances—Ellinor Åslund (b. 1991, Sweden) builds feminist issues and Brechtian critique into rickety, glazed ceramic dolls whose stories unfold via her own puppetry, singing, and slow, yet epic, musical scores.
For Åslund’s first institutional solo exhibition at O—Overgaden, a staged world—reminiscent of Venice or the canals of O—Overgaden’s local neighborhood Christianshavn—unfolds in several acts, following a broad cast of figures including an immigrant worker, an opera diva, a bartender, a failed revolutionary, and the devil. Mirroring a contemporary state of mind, the figures and their Venetian masking—historically used to mock and upend individual identities and social hierarchies—form a destabilized realm suspended between dream and reality.
Ellinor Åslund (b. 1991, SE) is a visual artist who lives and works in Malmö. Åslund graduated from the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts (2025) and has previously exhibited at venues including Four Boxes Gallery, Skive (2025), Wilson Saplana Gallery (2025), and Kunsthal Charlottenborg (2025). Åslund has produced a public artwork commissioned by the Statens Konstråd, Lund (2025) and presented performances at Jennifee-See Alternate, Copenhagen (2025). Åslund has also received the Poul Erik Bech Foundation Art Prize (2025). The exhibition at O—Overgaden will be Åslund’s first major institutional solo exhibition.
Åslund's solo exhibition at O—Overgaden is a part of her participation in the one-year postgraduate program, INTRO 2026, supported generously by the Aage and Johanne Louis-Hansen Foundation.
