The 31-year-old Berlin artist has transformed the gallery\u2019s main space into his studio, creating unique objects existing in the frontier between do-it-yourself puzzles and enormous utopian constructions. The Konsthall has thereby been filled with playful, anarchistic sculptures.<\/p>\n

Michael Buetler has created new works specifically for Bonniers Konsthall which take the architecture of the building as their starting point. Using improvisation and detailed planning in equal measures he has, in collaboration with students of The Royal University College of Fine Arts, created a forest of pillars, made out of cardboard and wire, covered in different shades of wrapping paper.<\/p>\n

In conjunction with the new works, Bonniers Konsthall presents a selection of Beutler\u2019s earlier pieces; hand-built machines that are both art makers and artworks in themselves. They are ingenious machines, handmade implements with very specific purposes: one corrugates paper; another stretches plastic into large volumes; a third uses glue and cardboard to form large rings that are then stacked on top of one another. In the Konsthall\u2019s entrance hall, a machine puts household aluminium through a mangle to produce long, winding pathways that cover the floor. For each machine the artist has made a set of operating manuals that can be seen on the walls of the space. Here we find humorous, almost affectionate, instructions on how the artwork is to be used.<\/p>\n
