Fear of the Object

This project comprises a three-year time span of work between Kjell Bjørgeengen and Chris Cogburn. The musicians include Ingar Zach, Aimée Theriot, Juan García and Judith Hamann—four generous people who gave their time to a concept, process, and way of working we ourselves were in various stages of knowing.

The edition is housed in a custom-made, 2-piece box of Gmundt Matt 23 Warm Grey Dark 1200g paper measuring 20cm x 16cm x 2.5cm. The box and interior elements are designed by Kjell Bjørgeengen and Salvatore Panatteri.

Each box contains:
— a double-sided, 6-panel accordion fold print featuring composite video stills taken from a Fear of the Object performance in Austin, Texas (2019) created by Salvatore Panatteri.
— 2-panel artist text print with writings by Cogburn + Bjørgeengen
— Special designed folding CD sleeve for each of the 4 CDs
— Japanese cotton inner-sleeves

The box and interior elements are unified through the use of the same Gmund paper. Text throughout each element is a pristine black foil debossing. Produced at Göteborgtryckeriet / GBGT Box, Sweden ).
