Uddenberg was the recipient of the Hector Kunstpreis, 2022 and Overbeck-Preis für bildende Kunst, 2023.
Through the feedback loop of consumerist culture, Uddenberg investigates how body culture, spirituality, and self-staging are intertwined with the mediation and production of subjectivity by new technologies and forms of circulation. Her practice is a space for reflecting on taste/class, appropriation, and sexuality, which integrates earlier approaches to gender theory while pushing these questions into new and intensively material territories.
Uddenberg joined Black Cube's Artist Fellowship program in 2020.
