Tanya Busse is a visual artist working across mediums of moving-image, installation and photography. Her practice boasts the synthesis of nature often combined with an industrial, post-human presence. She is interested in deep-time, invisible architecture and how power is produced and articulated through material relationships and histories of place. She studied at NSCAD University in Halifax, Canada, and Kunstschule Berlin Weissensee in Germany, and holds a Masters degree from the Academy of Art in Tromsø, Norway.
Her works have been presented in a number of group exhibitions, including Let The River Flow at Office of Contemporary Art, Oslo; the 13th Turku Biennial; and On Circulation at Bergen Kunsthall. She’s had solo shows at Gallery 44; Center for Photography in Toronto; Mumbai Art Room, India; Podium Gallery, Oslo, amongst others. She is the co-director of New Mineral Collective, a collaborative practice that explores landscapes of extraction, and also Mondo Books, an independent book platform that publishes and distributes printed materials across the circumpolar north. She currently lives and works in Tromsø, Norway.
