In the autumn of 1987, a battle hit the art field which altered the art world and the critical landscape. Well-established concepts were challenged by the new postmodern perspective, and much was at stake. This was a battle of legitimacy and interpretive benchmarks \u2013 not least of all regarding which art was the most relevant of the time. Practically speaking, this had to do with the possibility of working as an artist or a critic. The situation provoked simplified descriptions from both camps, and winners and losers remained on the battlefield. Defined by its opponents, art from the post-war modernist period was sidelined. Alternative expressions and ideals, as well as new players, came to characterise the artistic scene over the following decades.<\/p>\n

Thirty years have now passed since this time, often described as a paradigm shift, occurred. The current art scene is a different place, and an interest in the past has been awakened. Just how did contemporary art really look before postmodernism hit the scene? What were the burning issues and desires of the day? And who were the trend-setting artists? This summer\u2019s exhibition at Bonniers Konsthall presents many of the artists who formed the art scene during this period, from the arrival of constructivism in 1947 to the shift which took place in 1987. Their work represents a wide variety of material, testifying to the time\u2019s overriding impulse to experiment. Artists expressed a longing to plunge into the expressive channels offered by painting, in addition to exploring the interplay between image and word, stage and screen, and the two- and three-dimensional. The relationship between the image and the world generated artistic work of both a linguistic-philosophical and political character, something that occasionally created intense friction, and also included the question of purism and realism.<\/p>\n

When approaching this paradigm shift from the other side, a number of alternative stories begin to emerge, different from those that have otherwise dominated the history books. The telling is enrichened and new questions arise, such as how the all-encompassing changes were truly experienced, and if the time appeared differently to artists than it did to critics and curators.<\/p>\n

Bonniers Konsthall and Albert Bonniers F\u00f6rlag will publish a book entitled Bokf\u00f6rl\u00e4ggaren och konsten <\/em>(The Book Publisher and Art<\/em>) alongside the exhibition. This book considers the life and work of art collector Gerard Bonnier (1917\u20131987), delving into his role in the Swedish art world from the early 1940s to the late 1980s. Offering a look at art in Sweden through the eyes of an impassioned collector\u2019s working life, the book touches upon the contexts and individuals who contributed to forming the art scene. The story is told through the use of unique archive material and photographs. Particular focus is devoted to the collection Gerard Bonnier compiled for Albert Bonniers F\u00f6rlag, which will be on display at Bonniers Konsthall. Currently on show at the publishing house\u2019s headquarters on Sveav\u00e4gen in Stockholm, this collection serves as a reflection of Gerard Bonnier\u2019s impressive efforts to make art accessible to a wide community.<\/p>\n
