Marius Moldvær is a visual artist, writer and educator with a BFA from The National Academy of Art, Department of Photography, Bergen, Norway, and a Master ́s degree in Critical Theory and Creative Research from The Pacific Northwest College of Art, Portland, OR. His work is conducted on the intersection between practice and theory through mediums such as textile, photography, sculpture and writing, and formats such as exhibitions, lectures, and publications. Between the different parts that make up his practice there are no set boundaries or constraint, but the different mediums and formats blend into each other to construct paradigms that cut cross multiple disciplines and ideas. Both through, and within these paradigms Moldvaer interfere with, or disrupt linear narratives and set history, where knowledge, experience, and landscape continually osculates between personal stories, history, and collective memory.
