Grete Kvaal’s photo exhibition in Café Cora portrays people and milieus in the two popular establishments – Gjøa Pub and Fram Mathus – just before they closed their doors. The artist tells how this photo project came about:
Grete Andrea Kvaal was born and raised in Tromsø. As a photographer, some of her work involves abstract landscape photography. She is also solidly anchored in the documentary black-white genre. She has contributed with both photographs and text for the book project “Karen Anna og hennes siida” (Karen Anna and Her Village), which deals with Sami women in reindeer farming.
The last large project Kvaal participated in is the film “Dagbok fra en avskjed” (Diary from a Farewell) from 2003.
