In 1968 Palle Nielsen approached the Modern Museet in Stockolm with a proposal for turnig the museum into an adventure playground. From 30 September to 20 October 1968 Modellen. En Modell for ett kvalitativt samhalle (The Model-A model for a Qualitative Society) was installed and children under eighteen were offered free access. The event attracted more than 35,000 visitors. Nielsens insistence on using the gallery space for his mass utopian model was precocious, prefiguring institutional critique and activist uses of the white cube. This book presents a selection of the material donated to the Museu dArt Contemporani de Barcelona (MACBA) by Palle Nielsen in 2009.
