Erlend Peder Kvam – Tools of Encouragement

Humans have created many tools in order to make life better and more organised, such as languages, nation states and a lot of different objects. But who ever asked about their opinion? Eventually, everything that the creators have created – everything that they have imposed their own agenda on, has come to create a language of their own.

Erlend Peder Kvam (1994) is a Norwegian artist and illustrator based in Leipzig, Germany. He was formerly associated with the performative design collective Narves1biblioteket, and in 2020 he co-founded the zine label Foot Books.
