Marit K. Flåtter graduated from Bergen National Academy, dep. of Fine Art in 2005. She works within a social discursive art practice in which the non-linear and cognitive bi-effects of texts and 'forced' reflection is a performative medium. Since 2010 Flåtter has been working as writer editor in the editorial staff at the artdiscourse initiative and knowledge distributor Trondheimkunsthall.com. Her recently curated projects include the ongoing text series 'Artistic Compromises in Public Space', for readers of the website, with contribution from, among others, Dag Wiersholm, Niels Henriksen and Simon Harvey.
