BENGT CHRISTERSSON – electrographer (1942 Lund, Sweden)
5–24 November 1971

The exhibition is dedicated to my mother

"Starting from two basic themes,
architecture and music,
I have sought to create a series of images
which as a whole are in harmony with these themes."

----------------------------------------------------

BENGT CHRISTERSSON, the fourth exhibitor at the new Galerie S:t Petri, was born in 1942 in Lund and also lives there.

He calls himself an image-maker or electrographer, as he often experiments with an EEG machine at Lund Hospital.

Electronic music, as practiced for example by John Cage, Bo Nilsson, Stockhausen, and Xenakis, gives him many impulses.

His work is of significance for all who engage with contemporary visual art. The style, which can be called concretism, is characterized by an “anthropological quest,” in such a way that it is simultaneously an analysis and a synthesis of humanity’s relationship to the technological world.

The exhibition is surely of interest to those with a philosophical orientation.
