From September 19, works by Per Olof Ultvedt (1927–2006) will be on display in Tengbomhallen. The exhibition presents four works from the 1960s and 1980s and provides an insight into Ultvedt's playful, mechanical and movement-based artistry.

In the center are three of Ultvedt's moving Sea from 1985, together with Black rig. Using simple materials such as fabric and plastic, Ultvedt creates works that move, sound and change before the viewer's eyes. They are at once humorous and serious – and demonstrate his ability to bridge boundaries between the beautiful and the ugly, the everyday and the artistic.

Also shown here Pepe Rhythmic from 1967, a mechanical figure that seems to repeat its movement endlessly – both entertaining and slightly absurd.

Per Olof Ultvedt studied at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts and became one of Sweden's foremost representatives of the moving arts. Together with Niki de Saint Phalle and Jean Tinguely, he created in 1966 She – a cathedral at Moderna Museet. His public works can be found, among other places, in the Stockholm metro.

Ultvedt was a member of the Swedish Academy of Fine Arts from 1966 until his death in 2006.

The exhibition is a collaboration between the Swedish General Art Association, the artist's son Fredrik Ultvedt and curator Andreas Bertman.

The Swedish General Art Association (SAK) is the country's oldest and largest general art association. Since 1832, the association's purpose has been to support and spread interest in contemporary art in Sweden. The yearbook about PO Ultvedt is included in the membership of SAK and is expected to be ready in November.
