Josefin Tingvall was born in 1993, Arvika, Sweden, and since 2019 lives and works in Gothenburg. She obtained her master’s degree in Fine Art focusing on textile art in 2017 from Konstfack in Stockholm. Tingvall holds a degree in craft and design from Linköping University, a Master's in Fine Arts from Gothenburg University, and has studied as a visiting student at the Royal Institute of Art in Stockholm.
Her practice is project-based and rooted in a poetic and material investigation of the dynamics, manipulation and boundaries of materials. Tingvall works between techniques such as weaving, embroidery, experimental dyeing and visual coding, and tends to develop, merge and re-contextualize craft as a navigator and exploratory tool in her projects. She explores themes such as environment, fragility and change, and the role of humans in a more than human world through contemporary textiles. In her latest projects, she mixes tapestry weaving with the building blocks of 3D materials which combines computer game environments with crafts. A recurring theme is the landscape and the revisited place; a metaphor for constant transformation and of crafts as actions and intertwinings between different wills and presences.
Recent solo exhibitions include Galleri Majnabbe (2025); Ahlbergshallen, Östersund (2023); Staffanstorp Konsthall, (2023); Galleri KC, Göteborg, (2022); Luleå Konsthall (2019) Tingvall’s past group exhibitions include Most Valuable craft on earth, Not Quite, Fengersfors (2024) Spånadslin, Slöjdgalleriet, Linköping (2022); Glokala Sammantrasslingar, Stationen, Svenshögen (2021); Connections, Gallery Noorus, Tartu, Estonia (2019); 100 Folk, Hemslöjden i Östergötland, Linköping (2018); Knitwear, Falkenbergs Museum (2015).
Tingvall is a recipient of Wettergrens Stiftelse Culture grant (2021) and was a finalist of Young Swedish form 2016. She has participated in the residences of Air Green, Norwegian Textile Artists (2022); IASPIS, Konstnärsnämnden Stockholm, april – september (2020); Luleå Ateljéstipendium (2018).
