Ane Graff
Ane Graff (b. 1974, Bodø) lives and works in Oslo, Norway. Her artistic practice is grounded in feminist new materialism, which rethinks our material world and engages in a relational and process-oriented approach to matter, including that of living bodies. Within this framework, Graff focuses on human and non-human relationships, viewing human beings as part of an expansive, material network, stretching inside and outside of our bodies. She often collaborates with scientists to incorporate experimental materials such as bacterial pigments, hair dye, meat glue, phytoestrogens and SSRI antidepressant medications.
She is a 2004 graduate of the Bergen National Academy of the Arts and currently holds a position of PhD Research Fellow at the Oslo Academy of Fine Art. Recent exhibitions include the Liverpool Biennale 2020 (curated by Manuela Moscoso); “Weather Report – Forecasting Future”, at the Nordic Pavilion at the 58th Venice Biennial (curated by Piia Oksanen and Leevi Haapala, KIASMA) and the Art Encounters Biennial 2019 (curated by Maria Lind & Anca Rujoiu).
