Nanna Debois Buhl: The Artist’s Book as Mycelium

A research based exhibition curated by Anne Elisabeth Toft and Nanna Debois Buhl
The exhibition presented the artist’s books by Danish visual artist Nanna Debois Buhl in a show that displayed all her works in book format.

The book is one of several formats that Debois Buhl explores in her artistic practice; a practice that revolves around history writing, representation, and material investigation. Buhl considers her artist’s books as mycelia—the root-like underground network of fungi—as networks of roots that nurture her artworks. Yet, created with great attention to material, font, layout, and structure, the books are also artworks in and of themselves. They serve as spaces that allow for dwelling on some of the materials, ideas and conversations that inform her work; they can explore adjacent ideas and further expansions of the subject matter.
