Aron Agélii: A deck of cards
Aron Agélii´s A deck of cards (two works) is to be found in the corridor outside the auditorium. With a visual language that moves between architectural construction and origami folding, he zooms in on structural parts of his surroundings.
A little gift, a deck of cards, was carefully wrapped in printer paper.
We put our hands to work, we create something precious, we give it time.
An anonymous commodity becomes an expression of care.
Every crease, infused.
Bio:
Aron Agélii (b. 1993, Göteborg) is a visual- and sound artist based in Stockholm. He holds an MFA from the Royal Institute of Art, Stockholm.
Agélii combines sculpture and sound works in his installations. With a visual language that moves between architectural construction and origami folding, he zooms in on structural parts of his surroundings. Handles, windows, bridges, pillars, the glass wool insulation and the plumbing—that opens up, holds together, preserves and supports. The phenomenon that occurs where two parts meet — the acoustic beat, the shortcutting path, the creases in the paper, the thunderous applause that suddenly turns into synchronised clapping — highlighting the underlying systems that we all share and originate from.
It is about making visible a certain kind of static activity: the seemingly passive, intermediate points that are constantly at work.
