Eva Rowson is an artist, curator and Managing Director of Bergen Kjøtt (Bergen, Norway), a non-profit creative production house and cultural venue. Rowson’s curatorial work is rooted in hosting, maintenance and collaboration – focusing on how different types of work are valued, and with what consequences. This is at the core of her ongoing maintenance work at Bergen Kjøtt #AdventuresInConcrete as well as curatorial projects including: 38b - the living room exhibition space (with Luke Drozd, London, 2010-18), Como imaginar una musea? - a Catalan-Spanish-English imagining of a feminist cultural institution (BAR Project, Barcelona, 2017-19), and Who’s doing the washing up?, a curatorial programme on the politics of institutional re-imagining (Re-Imagine Europe, Bergen Kunsthall, Norway / Lighthouse Brighton, UK, 2018-19).
Eva curated with eyes closed, call me, the final exhibition of the Master’s Programme in Fine Art of the Art Academy (KMD), University of Bergen (Bergen Kunsthall, 2019) and since 2020, she started and leads the module Collaborative Practices on the Fine Arts Masters programme. In 2021, Eva co-founded GRIP – to train and empower more women, non-binary and transgender sound technicians.
