ANE GRAFF Born 1974, Bodø, Norway. Lives and works in Oslo. Ane Graff’s practice is informed by feminist new materialism: a re-thinking of our material reality, in which a process-oriented approach to matter plays an integral part.

Recent exhibitions include the 58th Venice Biennale (IT) and Kiasma Museum of Contemporary Art (FI). Upcoming exhibitions include the Liverpool Biennial of Contemporary Art 2020 (UK), the Rhizome/New Museum/Stavanger Kunsthall collaboration 7x7 (NO).

ANNA BJERGER Born 1973, Skallsjö, Sweden. Lives and works in Sweden. Anna Bjerger bases her paintings on forgotten photographic originals, and her work describes a balance between extremes. It contains the psychological content of the image and the physical aspects of the painting. The narrative evolves, arriving at new meanings through the language of painting. What
rests in darkness is brought back into the light and through this, the perishable moment is extended. Recent exhibitions include Gl. Holtegaard (DK) and Le Manoir (FR). Work by the artist is included in collections such as Moderna Museet (SE), Stedelijk Museum (NL), Louisiana Museum of Modern Art (DK), and SMK National Gallery of Denmark. Anna Bjerger is represented by Galleri Magnus Karlsson in Stockholm and Galleri Bo Bjerggaard in Copenhagen.

ANNA DANIELL Born 1978, Norway. Lives and works in Oslo. Anna Daniell’s artworks explore the human importance of art and objects in our time. She creates staged situations between the audience and her art to turn the accustomed perspective that objects are merely something we, as humans, create and use—and not something that influences, helps, and shapes us. Daniell is currently working on a permanent site-specific commission for Oslo City Hall. She has previously exhibited at the Norwegian Sculpture Biennial (NO), Manifesta 11 (CH) Kunsthall Trondheim (NO), and Stavanger Kunstmuseum (NO).
