A K Dolven (Anne Katrine, born 1953) is a Norwegian artist. She works across painting, film, sound, sculpture and interventions in public space.

Recurring themes in her production are the representation of natural forces and their resonance with human sensibilities. Her work alternates between the monumental and the minimal, the universal and the intimate. Interpersonal relations and interactions are central to her practice, and many of her performance-based works involve collaborations with other people.

She lives in Kvalnes, Norway.

Life and work

Dolven was born and grew up in Oslo but left early to Lofoten, and then on to 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 went on to study at the National Academy of the Arts in Oslo.

She lived between Berlin and Lofoten from 1987 to 1997 after receiving the Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs grant to Künstlerhaus Bethanien. From 1997 to 2017, she worked between London and her home in Lofoten; in 2005 she established her Atelier Kvalnes, the base for her international practice. Dolven's photo and video work often shows motifs from this and other places north of the Arctic Circle. She has received media attention for her public sculpture projects and was the initiator of the outdoor sculpture project Artscape Nordland.

She was awarded the German Fred-Thieler Prize in 2000 and the Swedish Prince Eugen Medal in 2005.
