Presented at Sven-Harrys Konstmuseum during Stockholm Design Week, Sculptures from the Factory explores the intersection between industrial production and artistic expression. The exhibition, created in collaboration by Massproductions founders Magnus Elebäck and Chris Martin, poses a central question: where does design end and art begin? Through seven sculptural works and thirteen industrial processes, the show unpacks the hidden poetry behind everyday manufacturing.
The exhibition design echoes the mechanical aesthetics of the factory floor, showcasing tooling and fragments of the production process. A modular podium system, built from concrete blocks, aluminium H-beams, and glass sheets, is developed to frame and support the manufacturing narratives — stretching up to six meters in length and carrying weights exceeding 450 kg. Materials and components usually hidden within the production process are brought into view and paired with more sculptural gestures such as a looping conveyor belt, automated welding enclosures, and a six-meter-tall animated chair.
