About Tove Kjellmark
Born in Stockholm in 1977, Tove Kjellmark lives and works in Mariefred, Sweden. Trained as a sculptor at École des Beaux-Arts in Paris and The Royal Institute of Art in Stockholm (M.F.A., 2009), her practice defies conventional boundaries, blending sculpture, digital art, and performative explorations.
Through her work, Kjellmark traces the delicate fractures and harmonies between organic and digital realms, seeking the "glitches" where one dissolves into the other. Her art does not merely imitate nature—it reinvents it, proposing alternate ecologies where human, animal, and machine exist in dialogue.
Her projects create spaces for reflection amidst the techno-scientific acceleration of our age, asking:
What does it mean to be human in a world where the boundaries between natural and artificial blur?
Can machines carry emotions, and do animals harbor technologies of their own?
From monumental public sculptures that radiate warmth to intimate, interactive installations that transform data into poetry, Kjellmark’s work oscillates between physical presence and conceptual depth. Her recurring themes—connection, disconnection, and the reassembly of fractured identities—invite audiences to reimagine what it means to inhabit a shared world.
Key works such as "When I Crack I Expand" and "The Horse, the Robot & the Immeasurable" highlight her fascination with movement patterns, agency, and transformation. Her exhibitions traverse continents, and her sculptures, drawings, and video installations remain rooted in a single pursuit: to unveil "Another Nature"—a hybrid of what is, what could be, and what lies just beyond perception.
For Kjellmark, art is not critique but experimentation—a way of engaging with the world that is as much question as revelation.
