Summary
  • Öyvind Fahlström und Carl Fredrik Reuterswärd - dessen Werk ist durch eine großzügige Schenkung des Künstlers in der Sammlung des Sprengel ­Museum Hannover prominent vertreten - gehörten zu einem Kreis innerhalb der schwedischen Kunstszene der 1950er und -60er Jahre, der sich in der Begeisterung für Marcel Duchamps Werk ebenso einig war wie in der heftigen Ablehnung des ­abstrakten Expressionismus. Nun treffen in der Ausstellung, insbesondere aber auch im Buch GEGEBEN SIND, die Arbeiten dieser drei so unterschiedlichen Künstler aufeinander. Dabei zeigen sich zahlreiche Verbindungs­linien zwischen ihren Werken, sodass mehr und mehr angesichts der Konzepte und Spiele, ihres Wortwitzes und ihrer Ironie das ihnen Gemeinsame hervortritt. Zu Carl Frederik Reuterswärds bekanntesten Arbeiten zählt die Skulptur Non Violence±: jener Revolver mit dem verknoteten Lauf, der vor dem UNO-Hauptquartier in New York platziert und gleichsam zum Sinnbild der unmöglich scheinenden ­Aufgabe dieser Institution geworden ist, den ­Weltfrieden zu bewahren. Mit dieser international an 16 weiteren Orten installierten Skulptur reagierte Carl Frederik Reuterswärd seinerzeit auf die ­Ermordung John Lennons.
  • Öyvind Fahlström and Carl Fredrik Reuterswärd--his work is prominently represented in the collection of the Sprengel Museum Hannover through a generous donation by the artist--belonged to a circle within the Swedish art scene of the 1950s and 60s that was united in its veneration of Marcel Duchamp and an enthusiasm for his work, yet also in its fierce rejection of Abstract Expressionism. The exhibition, and especially the book GEGEBEN SIND, brings together the works of these three very different artists, revealing numerous connecting lines between their works, and gradually, in their concepts and games, in their wordplay and irony, one realizes what these artists have in common. Among Reuterswärd's best-known works is the sculpture "Non Violence," the revolver with the knotted barrel placed in front of the New York headquarters of the UN, which has become a symbol, as it were, of the that institution's seemingly almost impossible task of preserving peace. The sculpture, which has been installed at sixteen other locations around the world, was Carl Frederik Reuterswärd's response to the assassination of John Lennon.
