Quosego was an avant-garde magazine which existed between 1928 and 1929 in Helsinki, Finland. Like its successor Ultra, it played a significant role in introducing the avant-garde movement to Scandinavian countries.[1] However, Quosego was much more inflential than its successor in terms of artistic and linguistic innovation.[2] The subtitle of Quosego was Swedish: Tidskrift för ny generation (sv|Journal for the New Generation).[1] [3]
The preparations to launch Quosego began in Paris in 1926 by a group, including Elmer Diktonius, Hjalmar Hagelstam, Yngve Bäck and Torger Enckell.[1] The first, Swedish language, issue was published on 28 May 1928 by the Helsinki-based Söderströms, with Cid Erik Tallqvist as the editor-in-chief.[1] Its contributors were mostly Finland-Swedish expressionist and dadaist artists and writers,[1] such as Hagar Olsson[4] and Olof Enckell.[5] The latter presented the reactions of the young Finnish-Swedish poets about the work by Vilhelm Ekelund.[5] The magazine frequently featured poems by Gunnar Björling as well as Swedish translations of those by Eino Leino.[1] Björling published his experimental poems in all issues of Quosego.[6]
Quosego ceased publication in April 1929 after producing four issues.[1]
