OYVIND FAHLSTROM
Öyvind Fahlström (1928-1976) was an artist, poet, writer, happening-maker, cinematographer, art and literary critic. His search for a total art explains his interest in hybrid forms and perhaps also the frequently fragmented aspect of his own art work.
This selection of essays is particularly varied in style: theater, reviews, journalism, socio-politico essays, comments on his own work...) and revealing of Fahlströms preoccupations.
As Ponthus Hulten once commented, « Ive never known another artist like him, capable of painting and watching television at the same time. »
