Sigurd Bronger. Wearables
Description
Norwegian artist Sigurd Bronger describes his works not as jewellery but as wearable objects. The exhibition catalogue is no ordinary book – it is an archive filled with the more than 140 exhibits, a box, a reader, a visual, theoretical and individual consideration of his works accompanied by drawings depicted in three booklets integrated into the book … As a three-dimensional object, it becomes a transformer of language, giving rise to new titles when used: Wear Sigurd, Bronger Wearables, Sigurd Wear, Bronger able… a peculiar book object.
A number of characteristic features from Sigurd Bronger’s works were translated into a custom-made typeface. It is characterised by constructed glyphs with sharp, spiky details that provide the visual identity for the book and exhibition design – a transformation of the artistic language into the language of the typography exclusively for the artist: the “Sigurd” typeface.
