Produktbeschreibung
A Cultural History of the Avant-Garde in the Nordic Countries 1950-1975 is the first publication to deal with the postwar avant-garde in the Nordic countries. The essays cover a wide range of avant-garde manifestations in arts and culture: literature, the visual arts, architecture and design, film, radio, television and the performative arts.
It is the first major historical work to consider the Nordic avant-garde in a transnational perspective that includes all the arts and to discuss the role of the avant-garde not only within the aesthetic field but in a broader cultural and political context: The cultural politics, institutions and new cultural geographies after World War II, new technologies and media, performative strategies, interventions into everyday life and tensions between market and counterculture.

Rezensionen
"The subseries' emphasis on cultural history, rather than a narrower focus on art history, [...] is particularly apt in a Nordic context, where a distinct set of model welfare states emerged in the twentieth century that helped generate funding, space, resources, and networks for, and public debates on, experimental arts, as these were deemed vital to the health and welfare of a modern democratic society.
[...]
While the scope and heterogeneity of the volume is imposing, its thoughtful organization into seven coherent sections makes it an accessible, dynamic, and useful scholarly reference work for anyone with an interest in avant-garde movements in, from, and including the Nordic region."
- Ursula Linqvist, Gustav Adolphus College , USA in Recherche Littéraire/Literary Research , 2017 pp. 193-198

"Serien A Cultural History of the Avant-Garde in the Nordic Countries er utrolig viktig, både i seg selv og som en del av en økt oppmerksomhet rundt nordisk modernisme. I dette andre bindet, som strekker seg fra 1950 til 1975, får vi essays om nordisk kunst fra Öyvind Fahlström til den alternative Melodi Grand Prix. Blant de 85 (!) essayene beskrives Galleri Køpcke i København, Pistolteatern i Stockholm, De skandinaviske situasjonistene (selvfølgelig), Morten Krohgs periode som intendant på Kunstnernes Hus i Oslo, Lene Adler Pedersen og Bjørn Nørgaards kvinnelige kristus-performance på Børsen i København, Kjartan Slettemarks passprosjekt med portrettet til Nixon, og enormt mye annet. Når de to siste bindene foreligger vil vesentlige deler av det 20. århundres nordiske avantgarde være beskrevet i dette bokverket.

Den virkelige revolusjonen kommer imidlertid når dette blir pensum for kommende kunstnere og kunsthistorikere. Da vil endelig den Paris- og New York-sentrerte fortellingen om modernismen kunne erstattes med en bredere, global fortelling, der også Norden inngår."
