ANN IREN BUAN  — Around Us Surround Us Artist book & museum catalogue

Portraying the pastels work of the Norwegian artist Ann Iren Buan´s earlier work and documentation of her largest solo exhibition to date, at the Vigeland Museum in Oslo. She wanted a hybrid between an artist book and an exhibition catalogue. Made in collaboration with Thea Urdal and published by Uten Tittel.

Details
Screen print: 4 color layer screen print dust cover with her name embossed produced locally in Oslo
Japanese double pages, placed centered in the book, as a distinct section of documented works from the solo exhibition.
Colors used in the book have been picked directly from her art work, from soft pinks to dark, almost black greens, bringing light and atmosphere
Matte paper chosen to reference the paper she uses in her own work
