An immersive meeting of sound, light and emotion, where the human voice becomes visible.
About the project
Kunstsilo is a contemporary art museum located in Kristiansand, housed in a transformed 1930s grain silo on the island of Odderøya. The museum brings together the Sørlandet Art Museum, Kristianssands Picture Gallery, and the Tangen Collection, one of the world's largest collections of Nordic modernist art. With its bold architectural redesign and a mix of exhibitions, digital installations, and cultural events, Kunstsilo has become a dynamic hub for art, design, and community in Southern Norway.
Nonspace developed small exhibition identity for VOX by Icelandic artist Jónsi, The multisensory installation visualises Jónsi’s voice as light frequencies moving across LED screens, surrounding visitors in an atmosphere of sound, vibration and scent.
Created in collaboration with Tanya Bonakdar Gallery, the exhibition strengthens Kunstsilo’s Nordic profile and positions it as a destination for cross-disciplinary, sensory experiences.
The identity needed to echo Jónsi’s atmospheric world and “rock-star minimalism” while adhering to Kunstsilo’s design framework. The space itself, painted entirely in shades of black, demanded a visual language that could communicate presence without adding noise.
We designed a bold yet restrained exhibition identity centred around a black title wall with Jónsi’s signature as its focal point. White cut-out lettering and subtle contrasts created a sense of rhythm and vibration that mirrored the movement of sound and light within the installation.
The result is a clean, powerful visual experience that amplifies the intensity of VOX and reflects Kunstsilo’s ambition to offer transformative, multi-sensory art encounters.
