Nick Cave Sojourn Branding and Environment
Art Direction ∙Branding ∙ Environmental & Exhibition Design ∙ Print ∙ Signage
The branding for Nick Cave's "Sojourn," at the Denver Art Museum, translated his analog production process into a digital system. A title wall wrapped in kaleidoscopic wallpaper let the show's letterforms pierce through, giving visitors a glimpse into the gallery before they entered. The logotype was die-cut into the exhibition catalog cover.
"Second Skin," the interactive follow-up installation, pulled visitors into Cave's world directly — kaleidoscopic wallpaper, pixelated FLOR flooring, and a floor-to-ceiling felt wall inspired by grade-school craft activities, where soundsuit silhouettes could be dressed in felt cutouts.

The inspiration for the wall pattern comes from the first piece you see as you enter the exhibition.
Letters are cut into the wall to give you a glimpse into the show.
The die-cut letters are carried through into the exhibition catalog.
Second Skin, the immersive experience following the gallery show uses analog materials.
Viewers can create their own sound suits from felt cutouts.
