Erik Sæter Jørgensen is the founder of Sæter Jørgensen Contemporary, a non-profit gallery for emerging and underrepresented art, a nomadic curatorial platform and studio practice.
Sæter Jørgensen Contemporary was established in 2018 to provide a platform for artists to realise untraditional projects while receiving the comprehensive, long-term support associated with a traditional gallery model. Before founding their current enterprise, Sæter Jørgensen was gallery manager at Galleri Opdahl, a leading contemporary art gallery in Scandinavia. Before that, they were co-curator at the project space Prosjektrom Normanns in Stavanger, Norway and an editor at NATT&DAG, a monthly urban magazine based in Norway covering music, movies, fashion and visual arts.
As an artist, Sæter Jørgensen has been an artist-in-residence in Berlin, Germany (2024 and 2012); Linz, Austria (2012); and Oslo, Norway (2016) and has been included in the annual National Art Exhibition at Kunstnernes Hus in Oslo. They are a member of the Young Artists’ Society and the Association of Norwegian Visual Artists.
They divide their time between Stavanger, Norway and Senouillac, France.
