Norina Quinte
Concept development, management and art studies
Norina Quinte's work is based on multidisciplinarity and collective working practice. She deals with the development of new structures at the interface of theory and artistic practice – often with a critical view of institutions.
Norina Quinte familiarised herself with the art world and its market from various perspectives and gained experience in the off-scene, in the gallery system, as well as in an institutional and academic context. She studied art history, media theory and exhibition design at the Karlsruhe University of Arts and Design. She also learnt to adopt the artist's perspective through her private environment as the daughter of an artist couple.
In December 2019, Norina Quinte launched the ato project together with Hannah Klein, Adam Gawel and Andreas Hölldorfer.
