“The Spiral and the Square” has its starting point in the Brazilian writer Osman Lins’ cult novel Avalovara (1973), but an exhibition that encompasses the meeting of cultures inevitably and obviously will embrace the world, finding its way finally into Swedish art history. The winding themes and structure here echo the novel’s structure, in which a mysterious palindrome appears in a square drawn on top of a spiral.
“The Spiral and the Square” features work by internationally established artists of different generations and with many different expressions. Along side the exhibition Bonniers Konsthall, in collaboration with Södertörn University and Albert Bonniers Publishers, is arranging seminars, performances and screenings in which Brazilian culture take center stage.
