The Kings Curve

from The Kings Curve by Leif Elggren

about

Leif Elggren's work is almost impossible to define in few words. Starting in the late 70' as a performer, visual and sound artist, he started to run the legendary Firework Edition in 1978, organising exhibitions and publishing sounds related items and prints. Co-creator of the schyzophrenic performative duo Sons of Gods with Kent Tankred in 1988, he's optionnaly proclaimed himself King of the expanding Kingdom of Elgaland Vargaland with Carl Michael von Hausswolff.

I really entered in LE 's work through his visual art and writings, actually not his sound works. When i red Genealogy, the theoretical bases of his work, the whole thing suddenly appeared to me. It was like hearing a voice telling me how to build my own path through his work. Don't think Genealogy will bring any piece of answer, it's only one more piece in a large puzzle made of dreams and obsessions that LE is trying to re-compose since 30 years. Part of Nordic Pavillon at the Venise Biennale in 2001, his prolific work has been regularely exhibited and published worldwide (recently at Palais de Tokyo in Paris and Niklas Belenius in Stockholm).

The Kings Curve is a thirty minutes insinuous and intimate spoken word : a unique sound piece from a unique artist, a vocal journey rewinding to the origin.*
