Margrethe Iren Pettersen (NO) is a florist, has a BA from the Academy of Contemporary art in Tromsø and an MFA in Art and Public Space from Oslo National Academy of the Arts. In her practice, she often works site specifically, investigating ecosystems and their complexities. By drawing attention to the characteristics and coexisting life of plants and organisms of different places, she aims to challenge the modern perception that divides culture and nature.
Her Sami roots and the oral tradition of knowledge production in the north, are themes she has brought into her work and research recently.
Pettersen participated in Residency 17, Climata developed with Lasse-Marc Riek and the Goethe Institut.
