// Öyvind Fahlström’s World Map from 1973 is a complex, densely illustrated silkscreen print that offers a unique, interpretative vision of global geography and socio-political commentary. This limited-edition piece intricately combines fragmented, cartoon-like figures, text, and symbolic imagery that represent various global issues, cultures, and historical references. Fahlström’s style, rich in detail and satire, invites the viewer to explore and decode the relationships between different regions, icons, and themes presented on this unconventional “map.” His work challenges traditional cartography by using visual metaphors to address the complexities of political and cultural dynamics worldwide, making each exploration a layered, thought-provoking experience.

What is Happening?
A Happening is a term used to describe artistic and theatrical events held by artists in the 1950s and 60s. These events were typically staged in gallery installations or planned environments and often involved audience participation, along with elements like lighting, sounds, and slide projections. Happenings were a precursor to performance art, which later included the active participation of the artists themselves.
