Uppsala Art Museum is pleased to present Tobias Bernstrup's artistry in the separate exhibition Sing My Body Electric with both newly produced and older works. He has long had an international career as an artist and musician with a focus on different types of scenes; the art world, music scenes and fetish clubs. We want to both highlight his performative side and at the same time give an in-depth picture of his art in the exhibition "Sing My Body Electric", which is also the title of his latest album. Tobias Bernstrup performs as one of the highlights of Friction by Night at Uppsala Konsert & Kongress on Saturday 2 June. Friction by Night is part of the Friction International Performance Art Festival 31 May - 3 June in Uppsala, which is organized by Uppsala Art Museum and SU-EN Butoh Company.
