CHART Talks Podcast: The Book as Artistic Practice

When the life of exhibitions extend into the design of artist books

Listen back to an insightful 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 from CHART Book & Print Fair 2025 exploring the book as a cultural, curatorial, and creative medium. Moderated by Louise Sidenius, founder of Sideniūs Studio, part of Forening for Boghaandværk featuring Cecilie Høgsbro, Head of Publishing at Statens Museum for Kunst; Anni Vestergaard, graphic designer and founder of design studio Anni's (Alberto Giacometti: Hvad øjet ser, Gold, SMK Forlag); Laura Silke, graphic designer at Stanza (Viscose Journal Vol. 06: TEXT, Silver, self-published); and Jacob Haagen Birch, founder and graphic designer at Spine Studio (Inuuteq Storch – Rise of the Sunken Sun, Bronze, Strandberg Publishing).

Featuring the award winning designers and editors behind Forening for Boghaandværk’s Best Book Design of the Year, the conversation reflects on artist books and catalogues as lasting extensions of exhibitions. Together, they discuss conceptual design processes, collaboration between artists and designers, material choices, and the evolving role of the book in both physical and digital contexts.
