In his work, Holmstrand combines traditional handcraft with a fascination for horror films and burlesque popular culture. The works reference his own family history, mental health, the trans identity, drag and gay culture, and provide a visual shape to the chaotic through large-scale sculptures and performances. The exhibition gathers together a large number of works and also includes Holmstrand\u2019s artistic reference library with works by those who have inspired him.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading is-style-body-heading\" id=\"h-den-queera-kroppen-och-en-upplosning-av-genus\">The queer body and a gender dissolution <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>There is literal thread that runs through Leif Holmstrand\u2019s extensive artistic practice. He knits and crotchets objects, coverings and costumes, wrapping objects and bodies in cords, yarn and rope. His works are often characterized by a grotesque and confined corporeality and a dark relationship to sexuality and the external world. Fundamental themes include the queer body and a gender dissolution where the cultural and biological boundaries of the body are challenged. The materials remain central \u2013 the textiles, the black bin bags and prams. The boundaries between what is material, sculpture and performance are in flux, many sculptures begin or end as performances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading is-style-body-heading\" id=\"h-inspirerad-av-stold-amp-termiter\">Inspired by theft &amp; termites<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201dThe Life of Termites: The End\u201d is the finale of a major art project, and the exhibition will be accompanied by several performances, programmes and events. The title is taken from the Belgian author Maurice Maeterlinck\u2019s book \u201cLa Vie des Termites\u201d (The Life of Termites), 1926. The content of the book was revealed to be stolen from the South African poet and naturalist Eug\u00e8ne Marais. The theft, an author\u2019s obsession with a material and the life form of the termites \u2013 neither human nor animal, both individual and collective \u2013 fascinate Holmstrand, whose knitted structures resemble termite mounds. In the exhibition we see works that compare the collective creativity and individual characteristics of termites with human relationships.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading is-style-body-heading\" id=\"h-collage-skulpturer-och-teckningar\">Collages, sculptures and drawings<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The exhibition gathers together sculptures, costumes, collage and drawing that are rooted in personal stories. Underlying themes include the ritual, the violent, the transformative, the failures of the bodily and the queer body that exists beyond all norms, but also a deeply empathetic understanding of the human condition. Many series of works are new, including \u201cFamily Flight\u201d where Holmstrand has crocheted together beds and armchairs from his deceased parents\u2019 home, and \u201cCephalopods and Other Creatures\u201d where Holmstrand has drawn over pages from &#8220;The Life of Termites&#8221;. The series of works \u201cHow an Insect Society is Organized\u201d, which consists of twelve large handwoven banners with text, highlights Holmstrand&#8217;s parallel role as an author. During the exhibition the audience gets to meet Leif Holmstrand in his many different roles \u2013 or rather, in his singular combined role as artist, author, art collector, performer, musician and curator. &#13;\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading is-style-body-heading\" id=\"h-inkluderar-sin-konstsamling-i-utstallningen\">Including parts of his art collection in the exhibition<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to his own works, Leif Holmstrand displays parts of his art collection in the exhibition and also presents borrowed works from relevant artistries as a personal, visual reference library. Japanese contemporary art, characterised by craftmanship and a fearlessness to blend together forms, materials and expressions, is an important part of the collection. Other artists exhibited in the exhibition are Hans Bellmer, Leigh Bowery, Chim\u2013Pom, Nan Emb\u00e4ck, Oscar Guermouche, Majd Abdel Hamid, Lisa Jeannin, Lunga Kama, Sachiko Kazama, Lawrence Lemaoana, Anna-Maria Neum\u00fcller, OLTA, Pyuupiru, Meraj Sharifi, Lieko Shiga, Lotta Smed, Fredrik Strid, Per Wiz\u00e9n, Sakiko Yamaoka and Jonas \u00d6rtemark.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/malmokonsthall.se\/en\/guest-artists-of-the-exhibition\/\">About the guest artists of the exhibition<\/a><br\/><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/L4QC6pD-ycg?si=71CdVkw4iGdNJnzD\">Malm\u00f6 Konsthall&#8217;s interview film with the artist<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-style-information-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:33%\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-malmo-konsthall-accordion block-accordion-container active\"><button class=\"block-accordion\" type=\"button\" onclick=\"handleAccordianClick(this)\" aria-controls=\"accordion_content_a3828442-2c23-4a1f-b72f-e9de7ddecf3f-1702389832783\" aria-expanded=\"false\" id=\"accordion_content-container_a3828442-2c23-4a1f-b72f-e9de7ddecf3f-1702389832783\" tabindex=\"0\"><span class=\"accordion__title\">About Leif Holmstrand<\/span><svg width=\"14\" height=\"14\" viewBox=\"0 0 14 14\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"accordion__icon acc_plus\"><path d=\"M14 8H8H6H0V6H6H8H14V8Z\" fill=\"black\" class=\"stroke\"><\/path><path d=\"M6 14L6 8L6 6L6 -8.74228e-08L8 0L8 6L8 8L8 14L6 14Z\" fill=\"black\" class=\"stroke-minus\"><\/path><\/svg><\/button><div class=\"accordion__content\" role=\"region\" id=\"accordion_content_a3828442-2c23-4a1f-b72f-e9de7ddecf3f-1702389832783\" tabindex=\"0\" aria-labelledby=\"accordion_content-container_a3828442-2c23-4a1f-b72f-e9de7ddecf3f-1702389832783\"><div class=\"accordion__text\">\n<p>Leif Holmstrand, born in 1972 and living in Malm\u00f6, is an author, artist and musician. In 2002 he made his debut with the poetry collection &#8220;Stekelg\u00e5ng&#8221; (Hymenopteran Path), the same year he graduated from the Malm\u00f6 Art Academy.  Since then he has published around forty literary works, most recently \u201cKartritartornet\u201d (2023). During the exhibition at Malm\u00f6 Konsthall, Holmstrand will also release his extensive poetry book entitled \u201cCommunity\u201d, the result of 25 years of work, this time through his own publishing house Pa-Parant. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Previous solo exhibitions include \u201cUr djupet\u201d (From the Depth) at Marabouparken in Stockholm (2021) and notable performances include \u201cGoing Like Elsie\u201d at Kiyosumi Teien, Tokyo, Japan (2019) and \u201cNonsense Translation\u201d at Zarya Center for Contemporary Art, Vladivostok, Ryssland (2018). In the autumn of 2023 he will have an exhibition titled \u201cTermiternas liv: B\u00f6rjan\u201d (The Life of Termites: The Beginning) at Galleri Thomas Wallner.
