Carl Boutard

Angelika Knapper Gallery, Stockholm

Knäpper Sprach Experimente is Carl Boutard’s second solo exhibition with the galley. Boutard (b. 1975) graduated from the Malmö Art Academy in 2007. His works make part of private collections, as well as the collections of The Museum of Sketches in Lund and Malmö Art Museum. He recently participated in exhibitions at Lunds konsthall, Lund Sweden and at The Living Art Museum in Reykjavik, Iceland. As of January 2013 Boutard’s sculptural decoration Into the Wild, made possible via The National Public Art Council Sweden, will be installed at the department of Architecture at Lund University. Boutard lives and works in Malmö.

Carl Boutard writes:
The exhibition Knäpper Sprach Experimente show a language construction made out of wood and bronze. Pieces of plats, acquired from my everyday environment, have been put together to create larger units. During the design process the parts have been bent, cut and linked, as though they were characters, words and meanings within the written and spoken language. Braches have been sawed and the parts reunited to shape a new outcome. A unity has developed from peanuts, fennel and leaves in bronze. Sometimes these processes have come to an end before I thought they would. At the moment leaves and nuts transform into bronze I have had to allow for the process to stop. At this point the works consist of one form, as well all the assisting network of channels that the bronze, air and ach has run through. In the case I have decided to merge these forms further the creation resembles that of words that inhabit, for example both large notions and modest dimensions. By using this logic my selections of objects and materials could be compared with the poets choice of words within a poem. The used parts, as well as the way in which they have been merged, determine the character of my own language.
