Karoline Bakken Lund (b. 1989) is a visual artist rooted in textile and performance – mainly as sculpture, both solo and in collaborative constellations. Based in Oslo, Norway.
In the drift of transformation and the pull toward collapse, she shapes hybrid sculptural works that hold space for (re)narration and affection. These works can appear as autonomous objects, visual scapes for performance pieces, installations and subtle acts of political, queer dressing — guided by trans-feminist ethics of care, collectivity, and exploring coexistence through gestures of turbulence and tenderness.

In her practice, she distorts and mends endangered immaterial textile heritages and ecologies, tracing their symbolic resonances, material-political conditions and implications, and dress-historical trajectories — slipping in and out of a wavering flux of transformation.
Her practice has been presented at leading theaters, festivals, and art institutions including:
The National Museum (Oslo) The Munch Museum (Oslo) Dansens Hus (Oslo), Arsenic Theatre (Lausanne), Astrup Fearnley Museum of Modern Art (Oslo) Interstate Projects (NY) NADA Miami (Miami) My Wild Flag (Stockholm) Suprainfinit Gallery (Bucharest) ICA Institute of Contemporary Arts (London) Dansehallerne (Copenhagen) Palmera (Bergen) Femidomen (Nesodden) Impulstanz (Vienna) Sophiensæle (Berlin) to name a few.
