About This Item
Örkelljunga.: Bauhaus Situationiste., 1962-1984.. 11 issues bound in five volumes as issued. Original lithographed wrappers.. Each issue (24 x 18.2 cm), with final issue slightly different size (24.6 x 17.5 cm).. pp. 64; 98; 96; 192; 192 Profusely illustrated throughout. A complete set of the magazine founded in 1962 by Jörgen Nash and Asger Jorn, centred on Drakabygget, a farmhouse in Southern Sweden. Drakabygget was the organ of the Bauhaus Situationiste group. Following an internal strife which led to his exclusion (and that of several other members of the International Situationniste, including the entire SPUR group), Jorgen Nash instigated a movement that also came to be known as the Second Situationist International, based out of Skane in Sweden. The title of the magazine was directly borrowed from the name of Nash's farm, which by then had been turned into a kind of artists' commune. The magazine was subtitled Tidskrift for konst mot atombomber, påvar och politiker (""Magazine for art against atomic bombs, popes and politicians”). With contributions from the editors and Asger Jorn, Patrick O'Brian, Göran Johansson, Wwerner Haptman, Hans Lyngby Jepsen, Jens Jørgen Thorsen, Bent Irve, Henry Miller et al. The first issue is complete with the single-sheet insert “Nicht Hinauslehnen ! Ne pas se pencher au dèhors ! Danger! Do not lean out !” - this infamous flyer, dated 13 February 1962, was the first public manifestation of Nash, de Jong and Amger Elde’s displeasure at Guy Debord’s expulsion of the SPUR Group from the SI and their founding of the “Situationist International” as a retort. Sets of the magazine rare with this insert. Triple issue 6-7-8 is inscribed by Jörgen Nash’s son Carsten. [Ref. Le Fonds Paul Destribats. Une collection de revues et de périodiques des avant-gardes internationales à la Bibliothèque Kandinsky, no. 650].
