Author: Wingren, Bo (Commissary)
Title: Sweden at the XIVth Triennale in Milan, 1968 - Brochure
Publication: [Stockholm]: The Swedish Institute; The Swedish Museum of Architecture; The Swedish Society for Industrial Design, 1968

Description: Single Sheet. Very Good.

44.5 x 26 cm. Single sheet of clear plastic, printed on both sides in orange and purple, folded once. Some offsetting from sheet being folded. 20 mm split to fold on left side of sheet. A few small tears in plastic at head and middle of sheet. As mentioned in the cataloguing for the portfolio above, the XIVth Triennale in Milan very nearly ended within hours of its opening. The Swedish entry was designed by the architects Sture Balgård and Jöran Lindvall. The exhibit was an unlit square room that held eight projection screens that were arranged in pairs along the diagonals of the room. Nearly three thousand photos from Swedish cities taken by Peder Björkengren, Carl-Johan de Geer, Walter Hirsch, and others were projected on the screens, while electronic music played in a non-stop loop. This exhibit aimed to show the development of the country while also highlighting the problems that stemmed from that development. This piece, which most likely would have been given out at the exhibit, spells out the intent of the group, with the English text printed in orange on one side, and the Italian text printed in purple on the other side. We have been unable to find any copies of this item on WorldCat or anywhere else for that matter.
