Patrik Aarnivaara
Born 1977. Lives and works in Malmoe, Sweden.

In his sculptures he stages narratives or propositions that reflect on the relationship between political ideas, art and architectural theories and geometrical shapes. The sculptures are made of assorted objects, texts, models and images displayed on table-like triangular supporting structures. By including research material and text that discuss different interpretations of the objects and images he makes or finds in the final result, he tries to create a space for reflection. In this way he directs attention to and showcases the production of and the relationship between ideas and objects in the very subjects he refers to in his pieces.
A Monument Which Needs a Shape, Which Needs a Story, Which Needs a Text, Which Needs Letters, 2010  
Throughout the two gallery spaces and in between a red and a blue light, Aarnivaara arranges a sequence of sculptures, images, texts and collages – elements that could be seen as parts of an inquiry into the textual, material, mythical and temporal aspects of a monument.
