Museum Tinguely’s Party for Öyvind, which is to open on 16 February and run until 1 May 2022, is an exhibition centred on the life and work of Öyvind Fahlström (1928–1976). In the course of his all too short career, he created an oeuvre that overstepped boundaries in every respect. Starting in the 1950s, he built up an international network of friends and fellow artists, over eighty of whom are also represented in the show. Their works in disciplines as varied as poetry, art, music, dance, theatre, performance, and film reveal just how mutually inspiring their biographical and artistic trajectories and the connections between them were. Fahlström was working at a time when change was in the air, when a young generation began to venture along new paths in the political, social, and personal spheres and to actively oppose the colonialist, patriarchal politics of the preceding generations. Fahlström and his friends belonged to an avant-garde whose ideas, actions, and art all turned on this quest for the new.

Yours sincerely,
