En Modell för ett kvalitativt samhälle (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. Nielsen´s 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 d´Art Contemporani de Barcelona (MACBA) by Palle Nielsen in 2009.
