Alva Roselius is an artist and scenographer working with language and spatiality. Informed by architecture and theater and inspired by phenomenology, queer theory and political movements, her works revolve around power, desire and normality.
They circle around an ambivalent longing for alternatives, resistance and closeness. But also a longing for respite, to not have to resist. Alva is educated at Konstfack in Stockholm and UMPRUM in Prague. Besides her artistic practice she writes for Flamman and Arbetaren.
EXIT is a portable gallery built together with architect Henrietta Erlandson based on the proportions of a wheelchair. During 2017 it was displayed across Sweden, Denmark and Åland, showing exhibitions with Rudy Loewe, Nayab Noor Ikram, Cathryn Humphreys and Siri Bertling Wiik curated by Alva Roselius.
