Patrik Qvist
Patrik Qvist is a Swedish artist and architect, most recently at work with projects that deal with climate change and possible future scenarios. A ten-thousand-year-old tree is the focus of a new body of work, where notions of resilience and deep time are central. A first installation of this project was on view at Aguélimuseet earlier this autumn.
