Nordic Centre For Artists’ Books Oslo, Norway

Established in 2005, the Nordic Centre For Artists’ Books (NCFAB) exists to facilitate the production, commissioning and the exhibition of artists’ books within the Nordic countries.

NCFAB is committed to the promotion of this genre as an art form and an educational resource, to provide the general public, educational institutions and other outside agencies with services and programming involving contemporary artists’ books.

We will continue to develop funding initiatives for our open submissions policy – focusing on interdisciplinary contemporary art projects, internet based publishing and online educational programmes – relating to conceptual bookworks, the livre d’artiste and craft-orientated bookmaking.

Research of artists’ bookworks in the Nordic countries (ongoing) and developing NCFAB.ORG as an informational resource will be the main focus from summer 2005 to late autumn 2006.

NCFAB aims to facilitate knowledge of artists’ books in a mission to aid cultural self-reflexivity to challenge, enrich and alter Nordic identity.
