Ina Hagen

b. 1989 , visual artist, lives and works in Oslo, Norway.
Involving herself in the unclear relationship between something with a determined function, i.e. a service, and an aesthetic experience, she investigates different constellations of the artist role as communicator with a specific interest in overlapping authorships. The core of her artistic practice lies in the investigation of existing forms of thought and challenging these forms.
She finds encouragement in art projects that transgress the artist role, and formulates her mediating attitude as a hostess: committed to continuously question her own position and also allow for others to enter through various collaborative or conjunct efforts.
