Poul Gernes and art historian Troels Andersen founded in 1961 an alternative to the Academy of Arts, the so-called Ex-school. For the Founders the Academy represented an outdated, elitist view of art, and they introduced an art school free of entrance examinations and constricting traditions. There was still taught, among other graphics and materials science, but the didactic teacher was replaced by collective expression. Segregation between high and mass culture - exhibition space and urban space - should be repealed and art had to admit on its social function in society. Ex-school was thus a learning by doing approach to the creative process, and this experimentation and curiosity challenged the idea of the artwork as something subjective, exalted and forever.

The festival to celebrate Asger Jorn’s centenary, namely the exhibition “Expo Jorn- Art is a Festiva!”, the catalogue, the presentation of Jorn and even the efforts of the Museum Jorn to establish a new Museum Jorn in Silkeborg have all been designed to strike a chord with Jorn’s maxim that “art must be produced by everyone”. With this sumptuous catalogue, the museum invites everyone to join in the artistic festival. Not as a passive aesthetic experience, but as a collective, creative artistic acknowledgment of Jorn, his age, his thoughts, and his world as well as the works he created. One of Jorn’s most generous acts was the donation of his collection numbering almost 5,000 works of art to the Town of Silkeborg. Over time, this collection eventually came close to 20,000 works supplemented by a wealth of material about Jorn’s life, his works, writings, collaborations, conflicts, and much else. This catalogue of Jorn’s work reflects the enormous collection; the catalogue is profusely illustrated and includes numerous articles on different facets of Jorn’s life, work and ideas by experts in the field.

Moving from one place to another, constantly changing countries, and always living as a foreigner allows for an expressiveness that is inaccessible to the sedentary artist. In that same sense, travelling to marginalized or peripheral territories can result in an unusual representation of the world. This is the situation of Fahlström, who used his work as a keen cartographic instrument to measure the planet’s geopolitical and geopoetic changes. His work–ranging from islands to peninsulas to continents and planetary maps–take the language of the comic to its logical conclusion. Through that the artist filters historical and cultural information, encouraging an ethical understanding of how the globe is represented. His maps are an amorphous representation of the flow of power over territory.
