About Ina:
Ina Hagen (b.1989, NO) is an artist based in Oslo, working across performance, text and printed matter, video and digital media, pedagogical forms, and communal making practices. She holds a BFA in Fine Art from the National Academy of the Arts, Oslo, participated in the Maumaus Independent Study Program, Lisbon in 2021, and has been awarded international research- and studio residencies at among others WIELS Contemporary Art Center, Brussels (BE); IASPIS–Konstnärsnämnden, Stockholm (SE); Capacete, Rio de Janeiro (BR); Bar Project, Barcelona (ES); and Q21, Museumsquartier Wien (AU).
In constructing performative situations and platforms for social thinking, Hagen merges situated histories, collaborative and participatory acts in situations of collective, critical reflection. She has exhibited at the 10th Nordic Biennale, Momentum (NO); Bergen Kunsthall (NO); Kunstnerforbundet (NO); Kunsthalle Wilhelmshaven (DE); Index—The Swedish Contemporary Art Foundation (SE); Kunstnernes Hus, Oslo (NO); and Kunsthall Charlottenborg (DK), among others. Hagen co-founded the discursive platform and exhibition venue Louise Dany in Oslo with artist Daisuke Kosugi, which ran from 2016-2020.
Hagen works intermittently as a writer, curator, critic, educator, and organiser. She is currently the course leader of Theory in Practice on the MFA program at the Academy of Fine Art, Oslo National Academy of the Arts, and is a founding board member of Kunstnerboligforeningen/The Artist Housing Association (2020). A vital strand of her work has been political organisation around the needs of young artists, both in her practice and as board member of UKS (Young Artist's Society), of which she served as deputy chair and interim chair for a total of 6 years. Her work is in the collection of the National Museum of Norway as part of Collection of Allocated Objects, performed at Tidens Krav, Oslo (NO).
