Happenings and others acts at Lunds konsthall.
:
“The small stage looked like a battlefield after a wild party: a smashed violin, lots of sweets and confetti, large puddles of black ink and lakes of water, in which all this was floating around.”
The starting point for this publication is sheer curiosity about what happened at Lunds konsthall between 1965 and 1967, when part of the experimental international art scene centered in Paris, showed up in the city of Lund.
Katarina Wadstein MacLeod is professor in Art history. In 2006 she graduated from Lund University with the PhD thesis Lena Cronqvist: Reflections of Girls (Sekel förlag), a thematic study on images of girl figures.
Her research in art history intersects with feminist theory and critical cultural studies. Empirically her research is orientated around 20th century Swedish and Nordic art and visual culture. In her research she has dealt with representations of femininity and domesticity; bodies and gender; cultural heritage and value; narration of centre and periphery. In her latest book she discusses artistic interpretation of the home in Swedish art at two historical moments: the turn of the 20th century and the 1960s and 70
--- Swedish:
”Den lilla scenen såg ut som ett slagfält efter en vild fest: en sönderslagen fiol, massor med karameller och konfetti, svart tusch i stora pölar och sjöar av vatten, som allt detta flöt omkring i.”
Utgångspunkten för denna publikation är en nyfikenhet på det som utspelade sig i Lunds konsthall mellan 1965 och 1967, när en del av den internationella och experimentella konstscenen, då med säte i Paris, dök upp i staden Lund.
