Rita Marhaug, Imi Maufe and Randi Annie Strand run Codex Polaris.
CODEX POLARIS ble etablert i 2013 - og er en kunstnerbok-gruppe basert i Bergen. Formålet er å skape muligheter og utstillingsplattformer for kunstnere som jobber med bøker i Norden. Ved siden av utstillings aktivitet inviterer Codex Polaris gjestekuratorere og organisatorer til å jobbe med ulike nettverksprosjekt. Flere skribenter har bidradd med tekstproduksjon. Prosjektene og tekstene fokuserer på kunstnerboken i spennet mellom det lokale og det internasjonale perspektivet. Codex Polaris er drevet av Rita Marhaug, Imi Maufe og Randi Annie Strand.
