Malin Tivenius

Malin Tivenius works and lives in Lekeberg, a small commune in the countryside. She uses different techniques, but the most recurring is sculpture and other three-dimensional forms. Her work usually relates to an authentic place or event and regarding spatial and environmental issues.
Malin Tivenius studied at Umeå Academy of Fine Arts and Konstfack. She has exhibited at for example OPENART, Kunsthal Charlottenborg, Konsthall C, Örebro Konsthall, Ghetto Biennale and AADK Spain.
I work a lot with sculpture, but also drawing, photography and other techniques. My process has often included casting and moulding. Moulding is an important technique for me for practical reasons, but I also take interest in the “negative” in the broader perspective.

I relate to the negative form as a room that creates context. Or it is the context that creates form around itself. The voids confirm body, space, and movement. I investigate intimate ties between people, organisms and environment and how different places and environments bring forth thoughts and feelings. It flows into an investigation of bonds between people or other beings, intimate bonds to places, landscapes, environment, etc.
