This catalogue has been published on the occasion of the exhibition 'Õyvind Fahlström', hels at the MACBA, Barcelona, October 18, 2000 - January 8, 2001. Access to the artist's archives has given rise to a new interpretation of his oeuvre. It has also shed light on an important facet of Fahlström's artistry: his work as a poet. " Öyvind Fahlström" is structured in terms of three overarching topic: the artist as poet--the intricate nodal links between the artist's visual and poetic language; art and information--Fahlström's role as an observer, and as an explorer of ethical issues; and finally translation--the issues of language, hybridity, and geography raised by the arc of the artist's life, his relocation from Brazil to Sweden and then to the rest of Europe and New York.
