MADELEN ISA LINDGREN

Madelen Isa Lindgren (b. 1990 Norway) works with sculpture, using metal, glass, and leather. Through the processing of materials and the imitation of nature’s own structures, she develops sculptural strategies for survival and care. Her works often appear as moments of transformation. Like frozen stages within a cyclical sense of time, where forms such as cocoons, shields, and tentacles articulate temporary layers of exile and defense. Within these constructions, the materials’ inherent vulnerability and strength are united in hybrid alliances that both protect and open up new connections between the body, its surroundings, and the unknown.
Lindgren holds a Bachelor’s degree in Medium- and Material-Based Art from the Oslo National Academy of the Arts (2015–2018), which included one year of exchange studies at Kunsthochschule Berlin-Weißensee (2017). She also completed a Practical Pedagogical Education in Art and Design at OsloMet (2019–2020), and earned her Master’s degree in Fine Art from the Faculty of Fine Art, Music and Design in Bergen (2022–2024).
Lindgren's work has been exhibited at both national and international venues, including Norwegian Sculptors Society, K4 Gallery, Podium, Kunsthall Oslo, Bergen Kunsthall, Bomuldsfabriken Kunsthall in Arendal in Norway, CIFF International Copenhagen, Wehrmuehle Museum and Museum Fluxus  in Berlin, Kastela Art Centre in Athens and Galleria di Piazza San Marco, Venice
