Life and work

Dolven was born and grew up in Oslo but left for France in 1972 to study art at École des Beaux-Arts in Aix-en-Provence, and then École nationale supérieure des Beaux-Arts in Paris. She returned to Norway in 1982 to study at the National Academy of the Arts in Oslo.

She lived between Berlin and Lofoten from 1987 to 1997 after receiving a DAAD Scholarship. From 1997 to 2005, she worked between London and her home in Lofoten; in 2005 she established her Atelier Kvalnes, the base for her international practice. [2][3] Dolven's photo and video work often shows motifs from this and other places north of the Arctic Circle.[4][5] She has received media attention for her public sculpture projects[6][7][8][9] and was the initiator of the outdoor sculpture project Artscape Nordland.

She has been described as one of Norway's best-known living artists,[4][10][11] and has exhibited widely including Bergen Kunsthall, South London Gallery, Temple Bar Gallery and Studios Dublin, Philadelphia Museum of Art, Kunsthalle Nürnberg, Kunsthalle Bern, Nordnorsk Kunstmuseum, Sørlandets Kunstmuseum, Henie Onstad Kunstsenter, Moderna Museet Stockholm and Platform China. She was awarded the German Fred-Thieler Prize in 2000 and the Swedish Prince Eugen Medal in 2005.[12][13]

A monograph of her work, A K Dolven: Please Return, edited by Gaby Hartel, was published by Art / Books in February 2015 to coincide with a solo show at Ikon Gallery in Birmingham.[14]
