#65533;yvind Fahlstr#65533;m (1928 -1976) was unquestionably one of the twentieth century's most innovative and multi-dimensional artists. His incentive was to investigate economical, political and social issues and the production of meaning. Rather than developing a style, he worked with a variety of different media and techniques: poetry, theater, journalism, criticism, drawing, painting, film, television, happenings, radio, objects, graphic design, and installations. Asking questions such as: Can a work of art make you question the way you see the world? Can it change your concept of reality? Four historic works by Fahlstr#65533;m define the playing field for the exhibition, which takes place in three sections (reflected in the three volumes of this special publication). Manipulate the World: Connecting #65533;yvind Fahlstr#65533;m is a contemporary group exhibition examining what #65533;yvind Fahlstr#65533;m's ideas of manipulation and the theatrical might mean today. 25 artists respond to these questions with works that react and infringe on the world. This three-volume publication (in slipcase) is published on the occasion of the exhibition, Manipulate the World: Connecting #65533;yvind Fahlstr#65533;m, at Moderna Museet, Stockholm (21 October 2017 - 21 January 2018). Artists include: Lawrence Abu Hamdan, Detanico Lain, Economic Space Agency, Harun Farocki, Rivane Neuenschwander, Sondra Perry, Pratchaya Phinthong, Hito Steyerl, and Walid Raad, among others.
