Erik Sæter Jørgensen is a Norwegian artist, writer and advisor based in Stavanger. They are the founder of Sæter Jørgensen Contemporary, an itinerant curatorial framework established in 2018 that operates through long-term collaboration and context-responsive programming.
Prior to founding the platform, Sæter Jørgensen worked in both commercial and artist-run contexts, including Galleri Opdahl and Prosjektrom Normanns, and served as editor-in-chief of the Stavanger edition of NATT&DAG. They have served as online editor of Nuart Journal, a peer-reviewed publication on art in public space, since its founding.
Sæter Jørgensen’s practice moves across photography, moving image, sound and installation. Since the early 2010s, their work has engaged erotic economies of power as one of several recurring frameworks through which questions of hierarchy, authorship and control are examined. Early projects developed through sustained engagement with the Norwegian metal band Purified in Blood, examining performance and collective identity. Subsequent bodies of work have addressed the political conflicts surrounding high-voltage transmission lines in Hardanger, queer subcultural networks in Berlin and Paris, and post-industrial identity in Carmaux, France.
Sæter Jørgensen has been an artist-in-residence in Berlin in 2012 and 2024, Linz in 2012, and Oslo in 2016. They have been included in the annual National Art Exhibition at Kunstnernes Hus in Oslo.
