In Holmström's oeuvre, the aesthetic and the ethical are one. She explores the complex web of contradictory human emotions and situations, and addresses current social and moral issues. While Holmström often starts out with very personal experiences, the essential element is the humane nature of social communication; the individual as a social and communal being remains at the core. Gun Holmström graduated in 1993 from Turku Art Academy in Finland. She is currently studying in a 2 year MA program in "Context and Media" at Valand School of Fine Art in Gothenburg. Her video works have been exhibited in several international solo and group exhibitions. Holmström is collaborating with an international artist group founded in the May 2003 residency while working with Gillian Wearing at the Atlantic Center for the Arts residency in Florida. http://www.createyourmindscreen.net, http://gunholmstrom.blogspot.com/
