Swe Den

Thomas Milroth discusses the interaction between Danish and Swedish artists in Denmark and Copenhagen leading to an early outburst of artists' books and printed matter in the 30s, the 40's, and today. He emphasizes the book art activity in South Sweden and Denmark as well as the story of the early thoughts about an alternative space for art.
