Jonas Lund

Jonas Lund (b. 1984, Linköping, Sweden) creates paintings, sculpture, photography, websites and performances that critically reflect on contemporary networked systems and power structures. His practice involves the development of systems and parameters that often require engagement from the viewer, resulting in performative works in which tasks are carried out according to algorithms or sets of rules. Through his work, Lund explores current issues generated by the increasing digitalisation of society, such as authorship, participation, and distribution of agency, while simultaneously questioning the mechanisms of the art world, including production processes, institutional authority, and art market practices. He holds an MA from the Piet Zwart Institute, Rotterdam (2013) and a BFA from the Gerrit Rietveld Academy, Amsterdam (2009). He has held solo exhibitions at Francisco Carolinum, Linz (2022); The Photographers’ Gallery, London (2019); König Galerie, Berlin (2021); Whitechapel Art Gallery, London (2016); Steve Turner, Los Angeles (2016, 2015, 2014); Showroom MAMA, Rotterdam (2013); New Museum, New York (2012), among others. His work has been shown in group exhibitions at the Centre Pompidou, Paris; Schinkel Pavillon, Berlin; ZKM, Karlsruhe; Vienna Biennale (2019); Witte De With, Rotterdam; KINDL– Centre for Contemporary Art, Berlin; the Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam, among others. Jonas Lund lives and works in Paris.
