A curator for contemporary art and literature, currently heading the Gislaveds konsthall; a municipal art gallery with an international programme, and chairing the publisher Anti based in Malmö.

With a background in Art History and Business Law – specialising in exhibition architecture and intellectual property respectively– Svensk's practice has focused on bending space and context around art. “the text is not what fits between the covers, the artwork is not made to suit the frame...”. The material and immaterial circumstances that surround an artwork or text should be developed alongside that work and new spaces created around artistic expression.

Past and continuing engagements include heading Moderna Museet Malmö's programming and friends, research for TateEtc in London, and work on the board of trustees for Hedlandet Residency. Emphasising the collaborative creation and curation of new platforms Svensk has co-founded: the publisher Anti, H. Bergdal Gallery; a nomadic non-profit, KHM x MMM; a platform between Malmö Art Academy and Moderna Museet, Kontext; a collaborative workspace and nightclub in Malmö.
