Carl-Oscar Sjögren is an artist who often works with questions about man's relationship with raw materials.

Carl Oscar is one of the initiators of and has worked for ten years with the artist-run space Ställbergs Gruva, a place that runs artistic, cultural and social activities based on nine hectares of land and 4,000 square meters of buildings in Ställberg's disused iron ore mine in Ljusnarsberg municipality in Bergslagen.

The group often works on the basis of common issues and methods that address the world around them and its economic, human and ecological conditions.

A fundamental idea at Ställbergsgruvan is that people with different backgrounds, professions and ages should have the opportunity to think, act and investigate together. An exploration of known and unknown parts of themselves and the world. Ställbergs Gruva is run by the association The Non-Existent Center.

Carl Oscar is part of our program: DEPARTURE/DEPLOYMENT.
