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] The subtitle of Quosego was Tidskrift för ny generation (Swedish: Journal for the New Generation).[2]

History and profile

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 magazine first published 28 May 1928.[1] Its publisher was Söderströms based in Helsinki.[1][2] The magazine was published in Swedish,[2] and its contributors were mostly Finland-Swedish expressionist and dadaist artists and writers.[1] Hagar Olsson was one of these contributors.[3] It frequently featured the poems by Gunnar Björling and those by Eino Leino.[1] The Swedish translations of the latter's poems were published in the magazine.[1]

The magazine ceased publication in April 1929 after producing four issues.[2]
