	Biography Nina Torp is an artist living in Oslo and Berlin. Her interdisciplinary practice draws on the ideas and practices of archaeology, architecture and museology, and foregrounds issues of collective memory and the perception and presentation of cultural history. She studied at the Royal College of Art, London, Kent Institute of Art & Design, Maidstone and the École des Beaux-Arts in Toulouse. From 2015 to 2018 she ran the interdisciplinary project SITUATIONS at Oslo's Museum of Cultural History, working with archaeologists, researchers and museum staff and visitors. Her work is often site-specific and has included projects located at Karl-Marx- Allee in Berlin, and Carl Berner underground station in Oslo, plus a number of European archaeological excavation sites. She has recently exhibited at the Museum of Cultural History, the Vigeland Museum, Gallery ROM, Tenthaus, the Norwegian Sculptors Society and QB Gallery in Oslo, the North Norwegian Art Centre in the Lofoten archipelago, Rogaland Art Centre in Stavanger, and Scotty and Galerie im Turm in Berlin. Upcoming projects include a large-scale work for Oslo Sculpture Triennal and a residency at The Watch in Berlin. She currently holds a three-year working grant from the Norwegian Government.
