(Sweden)

Johan Lundborg is an artist working primarily with sculpture and material-based practices. His work investigates how urban environments shape behavior, access, and collective presence. With a background in carpentry, he approaches material through labor, structure, and precision, often working with reclaimed wood and other discarded urban materials. The processes of dismantling, straightening, and rebuilding are central to his practice, allowing traces of previous use to remain active within new constructions.

His research focuses on public space, hostile architecture, and the subtle design strategies that regulate movement and participation in the city. Through observation, documentation, and spatial experimentation, he builds an evolving archive that informs his sculptural work. By engaging directly with the material language of the built environment, Lundborg seeks systems of control and care embedded in everyday structures. His practice moves between research and making, where attention becomes both method and position
