Norwegian Crafts is pleased to announce Søren Krag as one of the selected grant recipients that will go to Haystack Mountain School of Crafts this year! 🎉
«The workshop I will participate in at Haystack is about various methods that bridge the digital and the physical, which fits my artistic practice very well. I have always taken an ambivalent interest the United States and am especially looking forward to connecting with people through working with art during my stay. I am excited about participating in this workshop and to learn many things that I can hopefully bring further into my practice!» Søren Krag
Søren Krag will participate in one of Haystacks’ Summer Workshops with support from the American-Scandinavian Foundation and Norwegian Crafts.
Søren Krag (b. 1987 in Silkeborg, Denmark) is a visual artist based in Bergen. Krag produces work that combines textiles with digital tools and images. An important part of his practice involves creating digital 'paintings' using relatively simple software. In this work, he seeks to use the 'limitations' of respective methods/media as an aesthetic starting point.
Krag attended the Jutland Art Academy and graduated with an MFA from the Bergen Academy of Art and Design in 2019. Recent exhibitions include participation in Artaspetry7 (2025), the 7th Riga International Triennial of Textile and Fiber Art (2023), and the solo exhibition 'Oligarchy Dopamine Rollercoaster' at SKOG Art Space (2024). In 2020, Krag was awarded the Lumen Prize for Technology: Nordic Award, and he won a 2020 Talente Prize in textiles. His work is represented in the collections of the Sogn & Fjordane Art Museum (Førde) and KORO – Public Art Norway.
