Oscar Carlson

is a Stockholm based producer and art dealer, educated at Frankfurts Städelschule and Central Saint Martins in London. Since 2014, he has has been running the vehicle “ISSUES”, specialising in contemporary art and focusing on specific sites for presentations of international and local art.

Making possible for the audience to discover new spaces, Oscar Carlson have been influential in bringing over and hosting a series of well known artists, at different venues and cities in Sweden; before semi-settling at an office-cum-gallery space on upper Östermalm. Always on the go, Oscar is a valuable character and enabler, perhaps in a similar vain to Michael Callies at Brussels Dépendance, or the Reena/Gaga/Trampss New York artist-gallerist tradition.

For Frusen Glädjé, Tre Kronor managed to secure a piece shown in Frankfurt early 2010, a group of colored and heat-embossed foiled panels, that Oscar had made for the Rundgang; a sort of concept of the ideal artwork, or template for playful colourism.
