Introduction
Even if Öyvind Fahlström had made no other contribution, his invention
of variable painting – which evolved from his earlier discovery of
concretism – would be enough to secure his place in art history.
But how do we best appreciate these stunning inventions, these fresh
ways of seeing the world? Younger generations now learn through different
means: a computer screen can be more appealing than a rigidly bound
book. To bring Fahlström’s ideas and inventions to the widest possible
audience, a consortium of institutions has come together to sponsor
the “translation” of his variable paintings and concrete poetry into
formats that can make a place for themselves in the contemporary world
of the internet.
The Öyvind Fahlström Foundation is pleased to lead this project and
is grateful to the many hardworking and committed collaborators whose
efforts can now be seen by all.
