Malin Hedlin Hayden Professor

Malin Hedlin Hayden is Professor in Art History. My research has primarily concerned art from the 1960s to contemporary art, especially sculpture and video/moving image art. I have a particular interest in theoretical issues, historiography, and display practices.

I received my PhD in 2003 with the dissertation Out of Minimalism: The referential Cube. Contextualising sculptures by Antony Gormley, Anish Kapoor and Rachel Whiteread, Department of Art History, Uppsala University.

Since 1995 I have been teaching art and art theory at art schools as well as universities. I have developed courses on all levels, for example the master course Exhibition spaces in 2003; several versions of ground courses in contemporary art and theory, reading courses at PhD level; and as Senior Lecturer in Art History at The Royal Institute of Art, 2005-2009, Stockholm, I made various courses including e.g. Art as archive, documentation and memory, Academy and drawing, and “Homo surrealismus” as well as generative courses focusing academic writing and research application.

In 2009 I began working at the Department of Art History, Stockholm University, as Assistant Professor, before becoming Senior Lecturer/Associate Professor and then Professor. Amongst my previous assignments I have e.g. been Director of Studies in Art History as well as Head of Art History, both at the Department of Culture and Aesthetics.
