Lena Katrine Sokki (b. 1980) completed her master's degree in visual arts at the Academy of Fine Arts in Trondheim (KiT, NTNU) in 2013 and received Trondheim municipality's cultural grants same year. She lives in Trondheim, from where she works widely within the field of art, both with her own art practice and art dissertation. For the last ten years, the artist duo Lena Katrine & Heidi-Anett has been the central part of her art practice, a duo who has explored the symbiotic and parallel sides of being two artists with a common artistic expression. Along with the other half of the duo, Heidi-Anett Haugen (born 1985), she has hosted a number of solo exhibitions at home and abroad as well as participated in group exhibitions such as the Høstutstilling, Vestlands Exhibition, Nordnorsk and Trøndelags Exhibition. The duo's work is represented, among other things, in the collections of the Trondheim Municipality and Haugesund Art Museum. www.lenakatrine.com

Marianne Bjørnmyr (b. 1986) lives and works as a visual artist in Bodø. In 2012, Marianne completed a Master of Arts in photography from the London College of Communication. In her practice, Marianne works with investigative art, through which she, through theoretical and practical investigations, challenges the photography as a document and image, and where the presentation of the photograph is based on our understanding, interpretation and generated perception of imagery. Marianne's work has previously been exhibited nationally and internationally, including the autumn exhibition, Nordnorsk kunstutstilling, Daniel Blau London, Kunstquartier Bethanien Berlin and Aldama Fabre Gallery, Bilbao. She has published the books An Authentic Relationship, Beneath the Salt and Shadows / Echoes, all of which have been exhibited at photo booths in bla. Tokyo, Paris, Amsterdam, London, Rome and Vienna. Marianne started in 2017 Atelier NOUA in Bodø in cooperation with Dan Mariner.
