When the life of exhibitions extend into the design of artist books
Listen back to a panel discussion from the Talks Programme at CHART Book & Print Fair 2025, recorded live at Charlottenborg.
In this episode of the CHART Talks Podcast, we share a panel discussion recorded at CHART Book & Print Fair 2025 that explores the relationship as well as the differences between the artist book and the institutional art publication. Moderated by graphic designer Claus Due, founder of Studio Claus Due, the conversation brings together artist Tal R and Lærke Rydal Jørgensen, Head of Publications at Louisiana Museum of Modern Art, to reflect on the different roles books play within artistic and institutional contexts.
The discussion considers the artist book as a personal, experimental and often democratic art form, alongside the exhibition catalogue as a lasting document of a temporary exhibition. While catalogues serve as permanent records that consolidate research, curatorial knowledge and editorial practice, they also offer visitors a tangible memory of the exhibition experience. Together, the speakers examine how printed matter can function as artwork, mediation and archive, and how artist books and institutional publications differ in process, intention and reach.
*The talk is in Danish.
