Andreas R Andersson is an artist living in the small village of Arvidsjaur, With his violent sterile installations, the burnt-out blackness in his sculptures and an ability to combine hand-crafted materials with mass-produced everyday objects, Andersson creates a weird picture of today's cultural and political landscape. He´s projects shows how life extends beyond its own subjective limits and often tells a story about the effects of global cultural and political problems over the last 21st century. Andersson is educated at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts, Stockholm, Valand Academy, Gothenburg and Konstfack, Stockholm. He has worked and exhibited his work across Europe, China the United States and South Africa.

"During my time at the residence I will experiment with different casting techniques for upcoming projects. I will work with various silicone and sand molds where I will cast sculptures in wax, concrete and metal. They will then be part of a larger installation which will be presented in Kiruna next year."
