Exhibition “LOG SCRIBER”

After the residency experience, Sigve Knutson’s project, “Log Scriber,” was showcased in a solo exhibition at NEVVEN Gallery in Götheborg. Knutson’s design explores intuition and unpredictability, yielding uniquely original outcomes that challenge the boundaries of mass production while embracing the potential of crafting one-of-a-kind objects. It comprises two distinct collections: a series of standing wooden sculptures and a wall-mounted ‘inhabited structure’ housing small, organic-shaped symbolic artifacts. The latter, inspired by the theme of Metamorphosis Signals during the IN Residence’s residency, symbolizes an inhabited entity—a sheltering architecture not just for safeguarding but also for unveiling precious presences.

With reference to the theory of proxemics – a discipline dedicated to the study of the use that individuals make of social and personal space – the workshop questions the different modes of action, the processes, the devices or the artefacts useful to encourage the emergence of relationships of positive proximity. By observing the increase and intensification of “human flows” and resorting the tool of design, which mutations in the dynamics of relationship between individuals can we propose, influence or facilitate?
