Lives in Bergen (NO).

Scott Elliott is a graduate of the Master in Fine Arts programme at Kunsthøgskolen in Bergen, Norway, where he currently works as a writer, artist, publisher and curator. Elliott is the co-director of Weekend Server, a Bergen / Johannes­burg based curatorial platform that creates alternative contexts for the circulation of art. His first award winning artist's novel, The El Dorado Commission is the recipient of the Scorpion and Felix Award from Publication Studio Vancouver. His publishing house, Coda Press works with artists that have text as a central medium in their studio practice. Coda is dedicated to promot­ing art writing as a cata­lyst for critical discourse and knowledge production in on an equal plane to one’s visual practice. The press aims to promote an argument towards art writing as being something different to academic musings, exploring metafictions and intertextuality, and seeks to highlight a growing medium that is still in its early stages of recog­nition within many artistic circles.
