Inger Johanne Grytting was born in Svolvaer in 1949 and has roots in Tromsø. She moved to New York City in 1972, where she has been living since. Grytting’s studio and home in Manhattan have been a natural gathering place for visiting Norwegian artists for many years.

He is a former art editor for Plaza Magazine (2007-2011), curator of the Festival of North Norway (2012-2015) and was until recently general manager of Art Centers in Norway. Between 2012 and 2014 he ran The Boiler Room, an exhibition space for contemporary art in Oslo. Borda-Pedreira has participated in a large number of publications on art and design in Norway and abroad.
