Art talk: Klas Barbrosson

Klas Barbrosson (b. 1976) is an artist known to question the concept of culture and to challenge the widely held belief that there are two types of culture: one more important type catering to the highly educated upper middle class, and one superficial, wear and tear-culture for the young and uneducated.

Barbrosson is perhaps most well-known for the way in which he works with sports-culture in his art, and especially the world of 1990s football. One of his public artworks in Gothenburg is a pizza called En Nolla - First Klas, available to order at Odins Pizzeria.
