Bibliotek Nordica - a Library from the North
This collaborative book art project invited selected artists, designers, writers, and printmakers from the Nordic Countries to contribute with A6 format artist books to create a portable library. This 'library' (produced in an edition of 10) shows a dynamic selection of book works from the participating countries of Denmark, Iceland, Finland, Norway and Sweden. Bibliotek Nordica was launched at the Nordic focus of the Codex Book Fair in California, USA in Feburary 2019 and has been touring since then.
