Oda Haugerud (1990, SE) is an artist currently based in Malmö, Sweden. With an insistingly glitching pathos her work centers the sensory aspects of listening as an urgent matter. Her work has been described as "a breath of fresh air" and "claustrophobic" by others.
Haugeruds multidisciplinary installations consist of audio, kinetic sculpture, 3D prints, video, text and repurposed matter. Tending to material such as byproducts of tech, broken musical instruments and infrastructural residues of city life.
For Norbergsfestivalen Haugerud will present a new audio work from the inside of a ventilation duct similar to her work 'LOSE YOURSELF (CHOPPED ‘N SCREWED)' (2024) where a grand ventilation system of a building operated as a sound system. The new audio work 'DSM-666’ (2025) offers a limbo translating emotional experiences of containment and leakage. A work that gives space for the polyphony of consequences and hope that evolve within the conditions of standardized emotions and ”big tech”.
Haugerud obtained a Master of Fine Art at Malmö Art Academy (2024) and a Bachelor degree of Fine Art at the Gerrit Rietveld Academie in Amsterdam (2018), being nominated for the GRA Awards for her thesis “Living Dead Surplus” (2018). Previous exhibitions and artist residencies include internationally in countries such as US, Germany, Greece, Serbia, Bulgaria, The Netherlands and Georgia. Previous solo exhibitions include Hall Gallery, SE (2023), Spaysky Fine Art Gallery at Good Weather, US (2022), Galleri Konstepidemin, SE (2020) and Heerz Tooya, BG (2019).
Oda Haugerud is part of Norbergfestival 2025's bleed: program.
