Julia Kylén Collins

Textile artist Julia Kylén Collins works with found materials, which she deconstructs and sometimes reassembles. It's a playful exploration of material hierarchies where she investigates femininity, sexuality, and class. Kylén Collins holds a Master's degree from HDK-Valand and works in the spirit of folk art – she plays with her own and the viewer's perceptions of a material, color, or image.

Vore han min häst...

“Vore han min häst..” is an exhibition with the works of Textile Artist Julia Kylén Collins in a room staged by set designer Dennis Valencia. 
Julia has worked with girlhood as a starting point in her art, girlhood as a nomadic state, Gender researcher Kajsa Widegren talks about it as something that is not put behind one in a neat completed phase of life, but a state that emerges, infiltrates and undermines normative adulthood and a male-coded culture of seriousness. 
In this exhibition, she explores the frill, the frill that can decorate a home, that can symbolize the vulgar, the playful. The textiles Julia uses are always waste or things she finds. 
Dennis and Julia met working on an exhibition about Contemporary Ornamentation at Röhsska Museet.
