Reissue ! Under the motto: “Manipulate the world – take care of the world”, Fahlström set up a variety of meeting-places in which participants were invited to take part in an interdiciplinary game of purposeful discovery. He introduced elements of popular culture into his work early on and made substantial contributions to a critical assessment of the “medialisation” of art. In this, the most extensive book about Öyvind Fahlström to date, Teddy Hultberg charts the artist’s predominant lines of creative development and shows how his cross-genre endeavours were based on a few central ideas: character forms, signs, games and life materials.
The present study focuses on two innovative and extraordinary compositions for radio: “Birds in Sweden” (1963) and “The Holy Torsten Nilsson” (1966). These works can be heard on the two accompanying CD records and are also included here in written form. Some unique and hitherto unpublished visual and textual material, the result of several years of research by Teddy Hultberg, is also included in the book. All text material in the book is written both in English and in Swedish.
