The exhibition is not presented in chronological order nor does it include only a selection of plastic works, but rather includes publications, photographs, films, as well as abundant documentary material, experimental publications and magazines. In addition, this exhibition also features the most in-depth study to date on the Scandinavian Institute for Comparative Vandalism (SICV). what?

An experimental art historical research project that Jorn undertook in the 1960s, with the aim of producing a series of photography books documenting '10,000 years of Nordic folk art'. Do not miss it because it is compared to the "Atlas Mnemosyne" by Aby Warburg or the "Imaginary Museum" by André Malraux.

There is nothing!
