Mondo Books is an independent, artist-run book platform that focuses on art publications, fanzines, and printed matter, mainly from young and newly established artists from North. We carry Animals, IMA READ, MONARCH, Torpedo Press, BBOOKS, Lubok Verlag, amongst many others. Alongside book distribution, we also host events, readings, performances and spatial installations. Mondo plays an important role in both the local scene as well as on the national level, since it is the only independent art book platform and distributor in the Northern region.

Mondo has received funding from OCA (Office for Contemporary Art Norway) Tromsfylkeskommune, Kulturnæringsstiftelsen Nord Norge, and has exhibited at several art festivals, such as the Supermarket Independent art Fair (Stockholm, 2012, 2013), Bergen Art Book Fair (2012, 2013) Lofoten International Art Festival (2013), What a Mess (Kunstmesse I Frederikstad, 2013) Reality/June exhibition (Kunsterforbundet Oslo, 2012), I Am Hot Forever, I Am Not Forever (Tromsø Kunstforening, 2013) Newseum (Tromsø Kunstforening, 2014), New York Art Book Fair (2014), and was the official bookstore for LIAF (Lofoten International Art Festival) 2015.

Mondo is run by Tanya Busse, Miriam Haile & Linn Horntvedt.

We are currently situated in Tromsø at the Tromsø Kunstforening, and we also have a small distro at the Nordnorsk Kunstnersenter in the center of Svolvær, Lofoten.
