On Balance was a co-commission with Brighton Festival 2014. The exhibition brought together two works by Swedish artist Jacob Dahlgren, reconfigured for Fabrica's unique space.

Heaven is a Place on Earth is a large floor work comprising 713 polished bathroom scales in candy-pop colours, ranging from turquoise and lime to cerise and black.

The Wonderful World of Abstraction takes its sculptural form from 1000's of metres of multi-coloured ribbon, which are suspended uniformly from a metal frame, to kaleidoscopic effect.

Peinture Abstraite - Every day since 2001, Jacob has worn a striped T-shirt and now has more than 1000 in his collection he works with a curator who guides what he will wear. The version of this project documented throughout his exhibition at Fabrica was, One Stripe = Three, curated by Daniel Eatock.
