In the winter of 1996-97, four Swedish and two British artists took part in an exhibition with Torbjörn Lenskog’s collection of 20th century products at the Swedish National Museum of Art. The collection was the result of a passionate design expert’s taste for the looks of industrial modernism. But it also provided a telling example of the difficultites of classifying design into styles, epochs, and ideals. In Reternity the artists themselves chose their particular approaches. Their works varied in focus, addressing everything from the mentality of collecting, through modernism’s ideologies of purity and cleanliness, to the cultural malleability of industrial products.
