Palle Nielsen The Model – A Model for a Qualitative Society 1968
© DACS 2013

"Palle Nielsen: The Model is the most comprehensive display of archival material from Danish artist Palle Nielsen’s (born 1942) groundbreaking social experiment The Model – A Model for a Qualitative Society 1968. The display includes sound recordings, documents and photographs from the original project.

The Model – A Model for a Qualitative Society transformed the Moderna Museet, Stockholm, into an adventure playground. Over the course of three weeks in October 1968 The Model saw more than 20,000 children make use of the jungle gyms, climbing ropes, water chute, foam rubber ‘diving pool’, theatrical costumes, carnival masks, LPs and turntables, swings, and many other elements that comprised the playscape. The project remains one of the most ambitious museum interventions to date, yet is still a relatively unknown episode in art history."
