Heidi Holmström (she/her b.1997) works as a cloud writer, observer and composer, questioning topics such as social geography, attributes of place and aesthetics of behaviour.
She obtained her BFA in Royal Academy of Arts (KABK) and partly in inSitu3 at KASK Antwerpen.
Working in dialogue with the space; spatial recognition is essential to her practice. Circulating in situation-and site-specific installations and interventions, she questions the restrictions of the structure she put herself in. Having a compositional language, the practice allows elements from her background in music composition and improvisational approach to merge with a dynamic visual attitude.
From transmitting bird alarm calls through conference speakers into electricity pole structures, to building interventions into former U.S embassy surveillance rooms, the material non-hierarchy allows her work to take the form it needs.
Working internationally, her emerging practice takes up on locations throughout Europe (IS,PT,GER,CH,BE,NL,FIN,LVA,)
finding locations from artist-run spaces into off spaces and museums such as Museum West Den Haag (NL), a-milli-space (ISL), Het Archief (NL), Billytown (NL), Nap+ Amsterdam (NL), KASK (BE), Sunnyside (FIN). She also has interest in curatorial practices and initiatives, and has been co-curating and organizing group exhibitions since 2023, like ‘meander’ in Billytown. and ‘Phattic Utterances’ in Antwerpen, and is part of an active artist collective The____Servers.
