Brazilian-born, Swedish multimedia artist Öyvind Fahlström attended the University of Stockholm. In 1952, Fahlström produced ‘Opera’, a room-sized felt drawing, and in 1953, wrote a manifesto for concrete poetry. He studied in Italy and France before moving to New York in 1961 where he began the 'Sitting…' series. Fahlström represented Sweden at the 1964 Venice Biennale, and went on to paint, write and produce radio and television documentaries on the anti-war movement.
