About Katarina’s research

I am Professor in art history with a focus on modern and contemporary art. Since my PhD about girl figures in contemporary art I have dealt with politics of representation in the production of art and its impact on how art is exposed. Currently I am writing a monograph on domesticity as a theme in art during the 20th century. Further, how this theme relates to city planning, the women’s liberation movement as well as to questions of identity and sexuality.

In brief

Born: 1973
Interests: My research on art involves active participation in the ongoing cultural life. Otherwise, I devote myself to equestrian sports as often as I can, preferably dressage.
Other: When I was 25 years old, I moved to London where I lived for ten years, an experience that changed my perspective on most things.

I am a member of the Young Academy of Sweden to be able to influence the conditions for free research, and in particular to promote the humanities.
