Petrine Vinje

Petrine Vinje is a Norwegian visual artist whose work navigates the intersections of temporality, spatiality, and materiality. Based in Oslo, her practice spans sculpture, installation, and interdisciplinary projects, with a focus on the transient and immaterial aspects of cultural memory.

Vinje’s work has been presented in a range of prestigious national and international exhibitions, including solo shows at Fotogalleriet, Oslo (2018), the Museum of Cultural History at the University of Oslo (2014), and in work for public space. Her commissions for KORO (Public Art Norway) include major works for institutions such as the Research Council of Norway and the Norwegian Defence Estates Agency.

Her artistic output also extends into publishing, and her 2018 publication Anthology – Anatomical Theatre reflects her collaborative, research-based artprojects. This volume documents a program she curated, featuring contributions from artists and scholars, centered around a sculptural installation: a replica of the Nordic anatomical theatre in Uppsala (1562-64), commissioned for the Norwegian Sculpture Biennale in 2013. Vinje`s latest publication, F-U-þ-A-R-K, was produced under her newly founded publishing house, O.

Vinje holds a Cand Mag. in Fine Art from the Oslo National Academy of the Arts (KHiO), where she completed her studies at the Institute of Colour in 2005. In 2023, she concluded her PhD research project Surfacing Solids, further deepening her exploration into the material and conceptual dimensions of memory and meaning.
