Hans Edward Hammonds (b.1983, NO) is a Norwegian and New Zealand artist, teacher and curator, with a Master of Fine Arts from the Elam School of Fine Arts (University of Auckland) in New Zealand. 

Hammonds has a multi disciplinary practice and works with sculpture, installation and participatory/relational projects.
