More information
”Den store Don Cherry”
"Cherry (1936-1995) bodde på 1960-talet i Gamla stan i Stockholm, sambo med Moki Karlsson Cherry, far till Eagle-Eye Cherry och styvfar till Neneh Cherry. Han var en avantgardistisk jazzmusiker som spelat med John Coltrane, Ornette Colman, Sonny Rollins, Lou Reed och andra. I Sverige blev han en apostel för ”världsmusiken”. Jag imponerades av hans spel på en så kallad fickkornett. Tonerna fladdrade och hoppade omkring, till synes fritt. Mina försök att imitera hans spel var förgäves, trots att jag skaffade ett likadant instrument."

Artist
Carl Johan De Geer was a Swedish painter, designer, photographer, and author. He studied from 1959-62 at Konstfack. He is one of the leading representatives of the boundary-crossing artists of the 1960s. Utilising the magazine “Puss” as his platform, De Geer and others satirically critiqued society and its representatives in a provocative style. In their exhibitions, which often take the form of entire scenographies, he works with all art forms. He has designed textile patterns, created paintings featuring kitsch and memories, made films, and written novels that blend modernism with pop culture.
