Graphic design incl. exhibition catalogue, posters and banners for an exhibition with Kristian Blystad at Vigelandmuseet. The exhibition celebrates Blystad’s contribution to contemporary sculpture through a visual identity that balances institutional heritage with a contemporary perspective. Working within the museum’s established framework, the design elevates and extends the existing profile through a modern grid system, composition and interplay between typography and imagery. The font Gustav Display (developed for Vigelandmuseet) is paired with Oslo Sans (Oslo municipality font) creating contrast. A muted red, taken from the exhibition’s main gallery and repeated across the exhibition plinths, is used as the color of the visual profile. The color adds character while keeping the overall expression elegant. Modernity meets dignity.
