Past
Ane Graff
Ane Graff lives and works in Oslo, Norway. She graduated from the Bergen National Academy of the Arts in 2004 and currently holds the position of PhD Research Fellow at the Oslo National Academy of the Arts.
Ane Graff's artistic practice is informed by new feminist materialisms and the ongoing reexamination of our material reality, where a relational and process-oriented approach to matter—including the matter of living bodies—plays an integral role. Within this framework, Graff focuses on the relationships between humans and non-humans, considering humans as part of a vast material network that extends both within and beyond our bodies.
