Krister Olsson is a sculptor whose self-constructed kinetic and static models attempt to understand how we collect and catalog objects, images, places and experiences to create our own private models of the universe. His kinetic works draw on personal experience and act as surrogates, performing repetitive actions as a way of managing compulsions, while the static sculptures employ the language of maquettes and architectural models to suggest private landmarks. These two categories of work are interwoven into a loose, mutable landscape, that he hopes will expose the affinities and contradictions inherent in our understanding and interpretation of the world. Krister’s work is due to be shown this year in Taiwan; his most recent exhibitions have been Klaus (Singapore), Bookness: 14 Observations (London) and The Beach That Never Was (Singapore), among others. He has an MFA in Media Art from UCLA and BA in Computer Science from Swarthmore College.
