Sture Johannesson. Counterclockwise Circumambulation

In 1968 Sture Johannesson’s poster for a planned exhibition at Lunds Konsthall upset the Board of Directors so much they ordered all copies to be confiscated and destroyed. The show was cancelled, the Director resigned and an artists’ boycott kept the Konsthall closed for months. Now, after 36 years of internal exile from the mainstream Swedish art world, Johannesson has returned to the scene of the crime with Counterclockwise Circumambulation – both a retrospective and a première.
