Jørgen Nash, Lis Zwick and Drakabygget – the Workshop of Freedom

19 Feb - 21 May 2000

The exhibition presents works by Jørgen Nash (born 1920) and Lis Zwick (born 1942) as well as a large number of artists of various nationalities who are attached to the artist community Drakabygget in Sweden: Lars Hård, Ansgar Elde, Hans Krøyer, Asger Jorn, Mette Aare, Tom Krøyer, Carsten Nash, Henrik Pryds Beck, Hans Oldau Krull, Heimrad Prehm, Ottmar Bergmann, Thomas Niggl, Armin Saub, Yoshio Nakajima, Roberto Malquori and many others. Drakabygget was and is an international artist co-operation. From 1960 to 1977 it functioned as a commune where the artists both worked and lived. They were actively supporting the international efforts of the time regarding a new artistic practice involving, among other things, the art of poetry, pictorial art, music and theatre as central elements. The exhibition includes junk sculptures, paintings, graphics, sketches for decorations, enamel work, sets of books, installations as well as a documentary section about Drakabygget - the Workshop of Freedom. On 1st April a Nordic poetic symposium will be held.
