Power Ekroth

Power is from Stockholm. Power probably knows Jan the best, almost everybody else in the crew are pretty much new to each other. They worked together occasionally on different things, from lectures that she arranged for Jan to shows she arranged for Jan to other things she takes care of for Jan. She is the aunt of Jan's son (2-year old Joar Alexander Pablo) in Stockholm and takes care of him for Jan when Jan is not in Stockholm. Power takes Pablo on walks after work every day as long as it is not raining and plays in the sandbox as often as possible. Pablo even learned to say "Power" even before he could say mummy and daddy.

Power has traveled extensively and writes regularly for publications like Flash Art, Contemporary, Artforum, Frieze and she is a contributing editor of the Stockholm-based paper SITE. She likes some good dancing. Though this is her first time to Seoul, she has already rocked the dancefloors at Via, Bar Nana and Cargo. She is going to take up a short residency at Paik Hae Young Gallery during the stay in Seoul and can be reached by email at powerekroth@gmail.com.
