Event

Conor Klein, the newest artist in residence at the SVA Visible Futures Lab introduces himself, his work, and his plans for his seven-week residency. Klein, a designer and maker based in New York City, holds a BFA in furniture design and collaborates with designers and artists to create furniture, objects, and installations. During his time at the Visible Futures Lab, he will explore the role of text in three-dimensional design, researching, collecting, and documenting the written/designed world to better understand how and why functional objects feature written language. In conjunction, he will develop a body of work examining the relationship between text and products. Consisting of drawings, material investigations, and finished objects, the work will explore conventional uses and new possibilities of words and form.
