Formes ouvertes: Associated Programme

As always at the Institut suédois, the exhibition serves as the catalyst for a wide-ranging multidisciplinary programme of events. Like a guiding thread, the abstract art Olle Bærtling theorised and developed from the 1950s meets contemporary expressions in a series of encounters with visual artists and musicians.
