Karl Holmqvist - Profile |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Renowned both internationally and in Sweden, this exhibition high-lights Karl Holmqvist's artistic practice in performance- and text based art since a fifteen year period. The term 'total installation' was first coined by Danish architect and interior designer Verner Panton in the early seventies, from a desire to provide inspiration for people to make use of his textiles and furniture designs to create entire environments in their homes. Based on this idea, Karl Holmqvist has created his own 'total installation' letting the black and white Panton 'Geometry' pattern provide background for a selection of texts from, amongst others, Gertrude Stein, Patti Smith, Kakuzo Okakura (The Book of Tea) and William Blake put together according to the 'cut-up' method first invented by beat writer William Burroughs. The text excerpts that are taken from Karl Holmqvist's most recent book 'I ON A LION IN ZION' are also to be found in a reading on DVD rolling across a TV-screen in synch with the drawn-out pace of Holmqvist's voice. In Study Center 1991-2006, a specially commissioned new installation work, Karl Holmqvist has gathered a selection of his artist's books, writings and graphic design posters published over the past 15 years, several of which have never previously been shown in Sweden. Finally, also included is a wide selection of films, such as the anti-pollution epic 'CARS KILL' or the just recently finished 'Black Mountain College' made in collaboration with French artist Loris Gréaud. This will be the first in-depth survey of Holmqvist's deliberately eclectic artistic output and his first one-person exhibition in Stockholm since 8 years. Graduating from the Stockholm University in 1987 with a B A in Literature and Linguistics, Karl Holmqvist first turned to video as a way of combining his interests in language experimentation, text and live performance. The act of reading has been central to Karl Holmqvist's artistic practice, both as a 'live' element creating atmosphere and situations of exchange in the moment and as the basis of extensively undertaken research projects involving various forms of human communication, language in all its aspects and the state of things in the world today.
