SHORT BIO

Malin Arnell (1970, Stockholm and Berlin) is a visual and performance artist, researcher and educator. Over a period of twenty five years Malin has been engaged in collaborative practices, through an embodied and affective now. Through their commitment to a queer feminist, posthumanist and agential-realist approach they has developed an in-depth practice of knowing-through-doing, which includes an extended ecological sensibility. It was in dialogue with these disciplines and fields that they developed the 72-hours live PhD thesis in Choreography, Avhandling / Av_handling (Dissertation / Through_action) (2016), at Stockholm University of the Arts. During the recent years, they have mostly been working in two different collaborations: The public artwork Forest Calling – A Never-ending Contaminated Collaboration or Dancing is a Form of Forest Knowledge (2018-ongoing) together with artist Åsa Elzén, and together with artist Mar Fjell they have developed a few different projects and performances, for example In Each Other’s Company (2018-ongoing), and worked in different collaborative processes, for example together with Mustarinda (FI) and Mossuställningar (SE) .
