Parts and Pieces

Exhibition Gallery ad hoc, Stockholm 2004

When I came back from Moscow I had met Alexander Pankin and he had been showing me his mathematical work on the aesthetic of Kazimir Malevitj. Yes, he tried to find an objective formula on the aesthetic of Malevitj. Naturally it was a stillborn idea but his exhibition had some real interesting angles. It was like a bridge from modernism to postmodernism and he had found a very sterile aesthetic with its geometrical forms and figures.
Three years later I was working with an exhibition named “Parts and pieces” where I was incorporating Malevitj work with Pankins mathematical figures into my work.
I did imagine the square forms of Malevitj in a three-dimensional way. (This is a very easy thing to do.) I put the cubes and other bulky forms in empty rooms. 
I was mixing styles in my pictures but in a way that made it clear what I did try to get away from.
