More information

Maria Friberg blev tidigt uppmärksammad för sitt sätt att utforska den manliga blicken, genom att låta mannen blicka tillbaka på sig själv. Friberg experimenterar gärna med att placera män i situationer de sällan ”får” vara i, som t.ex. ett passivt tillstånd. I hennes bilder skapar hon en tvetydighet som utmanar förutfattade meningar om identitet, könstillhörighet och sociala hierarkier. I hennes senare verk skådar hon både utåt, mot det nutida samhället, och inåt, mot ett mer meditativt tillstånd. Hon har redan från början i sin konstnärliga karriär experimenterat med både fotografi och video, samtidigt som det alltid funnits en konstant referens till konsthistorien, framförallt till nordiskt måleri.
Maria Friberg (f. 1966) utbildade sig på Kungliga Konsthögskolan i Stockholm 1989-95. Hon har haft separatutställningar på en rad större institutioner som Santa Barbara Contemporary Arts Forum, Santa Barbara, California, Conner Contemporary Art, Washington DC och Pi Artworks i London. Hon finns representerad på Moderna Museet i Stockholm, Kiasma i Helsingfors, The Museum of Fine Arts i Boston, The Hirschhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden i Washington DC, Fotomuseum Winterhur i Schweiz, Tampa Art Museum, HF Johnson Museum of Art i New York, Denver Art Museum och National Museum of Woman in the Art i Washington DC, med flera.

Artist

Maria Friberg was a Swedish artist who primarily worked with photography and videography. Her primary theme was masculinity, whereby she investigated the traditional male adopted roles and its properties which has through history been defined as "masculine". Since her breakthrough in the 1990s alongside other female photographers who were educated at Gothenburgs photography school, Friberg has offered his growing audience enigmatic, powerful, and imaginative staged images of men. They float tranquilly in pool water, are squeezed into cars, sometimes sleeping among white sheets, or only their lower halves are visible as they sit in suits at a table. She works with staged photography and often uses art historical references. Friberg likes to work in series, varying a motif across multiple works. Some of her most well-known series are "Still Lives" and "Almost There."
