Petter Buhagen (NO) is a visual artist and the artistic leader of the artist-run gallery BABEL in Trondheim. He holds an MFA degree from Oslo National Academy of the Arts (2008) and a BFA from The Arts Institute at Bournemouth, England (2006). In parallel to working on his own artistic practice, Buhagen was part of establishing and operating the artist-run exhibition space Noplace in Oslo from 2011 to 2021. 

As a curator, Buhagen has a strong belief in artistic freedom and the artist’s autonomy. At BABEL, he works to cultivate and promote the unique characteristics of the artist-run gallery, where the exhibition space should be an ideal place to show high-quality art without an explicit conceptual framework for the exhibition program. In this way, he aims for BABEL to be a free space, open for experimentation, where artists can realize their own visions without unnecessary curatorial interference.
