The Mission welcomed Helene Edgren as a summer resident in June, 2013. As part of her residency she was invited to contribute a new piece to the sculpture park. Helene Edgren is a Swedish artist who lives and works in Arlöv. Her practice includes a variety of techniques and forms that have recurrent themes of power, self-control, the individual's relationship to nature and humanity's dark side; she is interested in how these manifest in various ways.
Edgren earned her MFA from the Malmö Art Academy in 2006. Her work has been exhibited at Galleri Thomas Wallner in Malmö, Ystad Konstmuseum, Galleri Signal in Malmö, Galleri Ping-Pong in Malmö, Galleri 5 in Lund, Galleri Mors Mössa in Göteborg and the 2005 Istanbul Biennial. Edgren was awarded the Höga Kusten Cultural Award in 2009 and Malmö City’s Cultural Award in 2008
and is represented in the collections of Statens Konstråd and Region Skåne.
