Teresa Wennberg (born 30 December, 1944 in Stockholm), is a Swedish artist, also known as tee wen, who has been active internationally in several genres.
After having graduated Studentexamen and studied law, economy and languages at Stockholm University 1964-1968, Wennberg studied classical image painting in Paris at Académie de la Grande Chaumière and under Francis Harburger 1970-1974. Her debut exhibition was at Gaudi Hall in Barcelona in 1974.
She went on to explore the medium of video in New York and Paris, where she worked with Nam June Paik, Neal Slavin and video-art pioneer John Cage. Wennberg showed her first video work in 1978 in Paris at Centre Georges-Pompidou. Her audio composition Symphony for Three Ambulances was presented on the radio in Sweden by Sveriges Radio P3 in 1982. The next year, she began to develop computer graphics in 2D and 3D at CIMA of Paris 8 University Vincennes-Saint-Denis, in 1987 at Aoyama Computer Graphic School in Tokyo, and in 1990 at the Vasulka Studio in Santa Fe, New Mexico.
From 1990 to 1995 Wennberg worked on 3D animation at the GAMSAU School of Architecture in Marseille, continued in 1997 with virtual reality and for 15 years was Artist in residence at KTH Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm. From 1994 to 1997 she taught Art and New Technology at Aix-Marseille University Faculty of Sciences in Marseille, for a year from 1997 back in Stockholm at Konstfack and from 1996 to 2011 at KTH. She has received stipends from the Swedish Arts Grants Committee, IASPIS and the French Ministry of Culture to visit and study in France and Japan, where she has had several exhibitions, for example at the Hara Museum of Contemporary Art in 1987 and NTT InterCommunication Center in Tokyo in 2001. In 2023-2024 she is participating in the exhibition Sleepless Nights at Moderna Museet with video works such as their big installation Nuit Blanche.
Wennberg is also a sculptor, working traditionally as well as virtually, and additionally has worked on creating and restoring antique stained-glass windows for St. Martin’s Church in Corsavy, France. She is also a Haiku poet and has authored several books. She has had separate and collective exhibitions in many locations, such as Stockholm, Gothenburg, Norrköping, Aalborg, Paris, Madrid, Marseille, Lisbon, Tokyo and Barcelona, as well as Yanping Village, China.
