- The Swedish artist Öyvind Fahlström moved to New York in 1961, where he meet the Swedish engineer Billy Klüver, and became part of the international neo-avant-garde movement. Fahlström’s performance, New York 1966, part of Klüver’s performance series 9 Evenings, is my point of departure for an analysis of the role of migration for the neo-avant-gardes in the 1960s. As intermediaries, Fahlström and Klüver brought new ideas both to New York and Stockholm, thus challenging the established view that American art was exported to the periphery. In reality, the New York art scene grew out of ideas and experiences arriving with immigrating artists, who in turn often exchanged ideas developed in the New York melting pot with actors in their original artistic and cultural contexts.

- Avant-garde aesthetic movements react on and appropriate new technological media in a process of breaking down the boundaries between different media and different “arts," in an attempt to generate meaning from the sheer materiality of the artwork. Avant-garde artworks will therefore by necessity be marked by media in different ways, at the same time as these art forms are processual, performative and transgressive. One of the prime Swedish examples of this avant-garde strategy is Ake Hodell’s many realizations of his manuscript Lågsniff. The manuscript, written in 1963, was in the form of a text-sound-composition, which means that Lågsniff, already in this form, took many configurations with a plurality of genres and media modalities involved. Later the manuscript was realized as a series of performances, a TV-film, a book, and in 2002 as a DVD. For such a collection of art works, I would like to suggest the term “intermedial cluster.” The point of departure for my discussion is the DVD, a remediation of the TV- film from 1966, and I will focus on two of the juxtaposed discourses in the cluster that this DVD represents: the package tour and warfare, and on two thematic foci in the film: media and memory, and man as automaton.

Allt kan bli aktiverat och skapande liv : Öyvind Fahlströms processuella estetik
- 2023
-
Bok (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Poeten och konstnären Öyvind Fahlström (1928–1976) är en av ytterst få internationellt kända svenska konstnärer under 1900-talet. När han och hans fru, bildkonstnären Barbro Östlihn, flyttade till New York 1961 kom de att bli en naturlig del av det framväxande neoavantgardet, och Fahlström erövrade omedelbart en central position i rörelsen tillsammans med framträdande konstnärer som Robert Rauschenberg, Claes Oldenburg och John Cage. Parallellt fortsatte han att skriva i svenska dagstidningar och tidskrifter och hade på så sätt ett avgörande inflytande också över det svenska kulturlivet. I den här boken utläser Per Bäckström Fahlströms estetik genom att läsa vad denne skrev i sina artiklar, manifest och program. Han lyfter i polemik med en etablerad statisk syn på konstnärskapet fram det dynamiska, processuella och performativa i Öyvind Fahlströms estetik.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Performance art has been regarded as solidly rooted in the “Hierund Jetzt”, asserted by Walter Benjamin as the only remaining conditionfor the Aura. However, as Philip Auslander observes, every performancetoday is always already mediatized in one way or another,and still we might experience liveness and then also authenticity. Mediatizationis, therefore, a (necessary) condition for authenticity. Inmy discussion on the Swedish artist Öyvind Fahlström’s (1928–76) performanceKisses Sweeter than Wine 1966, I nonetheless argue that noteven the use of Verfremdungseffekts in avant-garde performance disruptsthe construction of authenticity, even though this effect is usedto attack the (presupposed) media-transparency believed to be necessaryfor an “authentic” experience. In his use of new technology anddifferent broadcasting media, Fahlström was a forerunner for mediaart. The intermedial intricacy can be fully understood and discussedonly in our own information age. His and other similar experiments inthe 1960s are important links in the genealogy of today’s networked,global and multiscreen world, since they constitute early confluencesof cybernetics, art and media. This is best seen in his performance,which was part of 9 Evenings. Theatre and Engineering arranged, in1966, by Experiments in Art and Technology (E.A.T.) at the 69th RegimentArmory in New York. Fahlström mixes performance on stagewith a plethora of mediated and mediatized events, which results ina show that is characterized by strong Verfremdungseffekts, yet stillgives rise to an experience of authenticity.
