VON HAUSSWOLFF, C.M. (CARL MICHAEL) — Leech

“With his works the swedish artist carl michael von hausswolff takes interest in revealing and using accoustic, visual, social and cultural phenomena. for the cd leech he acts as a parasite on works by olafur eliasson, carsten höller, tommi grönlund/petteri nisunen and richard james. in the three first pieces he sucked energy/sound out from the electric functions of those works; sounds that normally can not be heard. on james' work he bruises the skin surface as leeches usually do before they penetrate the body. this is a new way of sampling; a reading of the un-readable in certain types of art works. it might be a "l'art pour l'art"-production but this was unavoidable as this "search for the real" continued. leech is the second release by carl michael von hausswolff on raster-noton.” [label info]
