Friedel Weiser
Sculptor, mover, musician
Based in Malmö, Sweden
In my work I explore combining movement and sound in a sculptural and material-based practice, working with my hands with clay, wood and found material for weaving or composing sculpture. With an interest in locally available materials, tradition and connection and reconnection with material, I search for ways to be in touch and to see what can be allowed to be expressed in that meeting. I enjoy working performatively with focus on improvisation or with site-specific installation and sculptural works that can be interacted with; touched, worn, balanced, played, or listened - to, with or through.

My ongoing works and projects
In collaboration with Annika Inez, artist and jewelry designer based in NY. This spring, I had the great honor to serve as inspiration for, and to model for her remarkable hairpin. Read and see all about it at annikainez.com
"Klingande Korg", a project together with Anna E Weiser and Vibrationsverket, with support from Nämnden för Hemslöjdsfrågor. We are researching the performative potentials of basket making!
I'm also working on a solo performance to be performed in Malmö some time soon, with support from Malmö Stad. Dates will be announced.
