NEVVEN (SE/IT)

NEVVEN is an international non-profit hybrid art project, with gallery spaces in Göteborg, Sweden and Bologna, Italy. At the meeting point between a diffused kunsthalle and a multinational art gallery, NEVVEN promotes an intersectional perspective on the contemporary art scene and curates a diverse output of exhibitions, disseminative events and contents in partnership with different public and private institutions. Founded in Sweden in 2015 as an experiment in exhibition making by curator Mattia Lullini and artist Alina Vergnano, NEVVEN still has its main goal in looking for new answers and forms to access visual culture, both structurally and ethically.

Curated for
CHART

For CHART 2024, NEVVEN presents a duo booth featuring works by Norwegian artist Sigve Knutson and Danish-Vietnamese artist Minh Ngọc Nguyễn, juxtaposing two of Knutson’s signature-style series, his playfully colourful ceramics presented on top of his wood carved sculptural stools, together with an installation of Nguyễn’s thought-provoking and enticing photographic works. A design- and craft-originated art practice, exploring surfaces and spatiality in such a unique way that it transcends contemporary art definitions, meets one of the most exciting new young Danish photographers right now.

Sigve Knutson (NO)

The broad array of sculptural objects masterfully created by Sigve Knutson are driven by his exploration of tools and materials in their unique nature and histories, where the intuitive and the spontaneous are given space in the process of making. Deeply motivated by a drawing mentality, his works often naturally call for an interaction with the very materials, as much as a connection with our collective creative memory. And there grows an ever-evolving vocabulary of forms and shapes developed by Knutson, that straddles worlds of design, craft and art.

Sigve Knutson (b. 1991, Lillesand; NO) lives and works in Oslo, Norway. The artist was a recipient of the Scheibler Foundation Prize in 2023. Recent exhibitions include: NEVVEN (Bologna; IT, and Gothenburg; SE), OUTPOST (Copenhagen; DK), Sørlandets Kunstmuseum (Kristiansand; NO), Design Museum Gent (Gent; BE), and Van Abbemuseum (Eindhoven, NL) among others.
