Jørgen Nash

He has exhibited at: On 10 February 1962, Nash voted with the majority of the Central Council of the Situationist International, for the exclusion of the Spur group.

[1] Nash rebuked those responsible for Spur, was initially in favor of them publishing a retraction, but stopped short of demanding an exclusion.

Surprised at not being unanimously followed and at finding himself countered on the spot by the partisans of the SI majority — Jeppesen Victor Martin, who immediately circulated a definitive repudiation of his imposture — Nash at first feigned astonishment that things had gone to the point of a complete break with the situationists; as if the fact of launching a public surprise attack full of lies was compatible with carrying on a dialogue, on the basis of some sort of Nashist Scandinavian autonomy.

[1] The SI stated that this was confirmed by the fact that Nash's new Swedish "Bauhaus", which consisted of two or three Scandinavian ex-situationists plus "a mass of unknowns flocking to the feast", immediately plunged into "the most shopworn forms of artistic production".

Do Not Lean Out,[3] Nash, with Ansgar Elde and Jacqueline de Jong, stated that although there may be grounds to criticise the Spur group (Ervin Eisch, Lothar Fischer, Dieter Kunzelmann, Renee Nele, Heimrad Prem, Gretel Stadler, Helmut Sturm and Hand-Peter Zimmer), the way they had been expelled, and the SI itself, were totalitarian.

[citation needed] On 24 April 1964 Nash with other members of Bauhaus Situationniste decapitated the statue of The Little Mermaid in Copenhagen harbour.
