Nick Cave Sojourn Branding and Environment
Art Direction ∙Branding ∙ Environmental & Exhibition Design ∙ Print ∙ Signage
The branding for Nick Cave's exhibition, "Sojourn," at the Denver Art Museum comprised several elements, all stemming from a digital interpretation of Nick's analog production process. To mirror this analog approach, a title wall was crafted, adorned with kaleidoscopic wallpaper, where the letterforms of the show title pierced through, offering viewers a sneak peek into the gallery. The logotype was also intricately die-cut into the cover of the exhibition catalog.
Following the immersive exhibition, "Second Skin," an interactive installation, provided viewers with a hands-on experience of Nick's artistic world. The room incorporated various elements from Cave's work, including kaleidoscopic wallpaper and pixelated FLOR-covering. The floor-to-ceiling felt wall, inspired by analog grade school activities, featured silhouettes of soundsuits that could be adorned with vibrant felt cutouts.
