Annika Oskarsson is an artist based in Stockholm. Her practice is focused on working within the public space. She is interested in nature, culture, technology and how it works together. She is interested in the way people move and interact in different contexts. In her works, she often define a site formation with different elements. Oskarsson tells stories in the form of spatialities that can be taken possession of and tested and used by different constellations of people. She is interested in children’s play, movement and thoughts. Traveling and movements in time and space are also a recurring theme in Oskarsson’s work.
Annika Oskarsson has a Master’s in ceramics and glass at Konstfack.
She has also taught art and design in the public realm at Konstfack and at HDK in Gothenburg.
