Expo (magazine)

Expo is a Swedish anti-racist magazine started in 1995 and issued by the non-profit Expo Foundation (Stiftelsen Expo). The magazine, issued four times a year, contains investigative journalism focused on nationalist, racist, anti-democratic, anti-semitic, and far-right movements and organisations. The people responsible for Expo make no connections with specific organisations or political parties, but work together with individuals and organisations that share Expo's platform. The chairman of the Expo foundation is Charles Westin. The magazine is headquartered in Stockholm.

The organisation has several parts. Expo Arkiv is an archive of far-right and anti-democratic events in Scandinavia. The archive is open to researchers, students, and individuals who need information. Expo Research is a research organisation whose members find and collect information on racist, anti-Semitic, and anti-democratic organisations in Sweden and Europe. The information comes from informants, defectors, public files, authorities, independent researchers, and so on.

The people responsible for Expo closely co-operate with Monitor in Norway and Searchlight in the UK. They also exchange information with groups and magazines such as Antifa Infoblatt in Germany, Reflexes and CRIDA in France, Tun Balalaika in Russia, and Nigdy Wiecej in Poland, as well as Institute for Research and Education on Human Rights (IREHR) and Center for New Community (CNC) in the United States.

Expo became widely known in Sweden in June 1996 following a string of threats and attacks directed against companies printing and selling the magazine, and organisations supporting it. The words "Inget stöd till kommunist-Expo" (No support for communist Expo) were painted on the wall of the Moderate Party headquarters. In response, leading tabloid newspapers Aftonbladet and Expressen printed and distributed the June 1996 issue as a free supplement, with a circulation of around 800,000 copies.

Financial pressures in 1998 forced the people responsible for Expo to cease publication of the magazine and replace it with a newsletter. In 1999, Expo was restarted as a part of the magazine Svartvitt. When Svartvitt shut down in 2003, Expo returned to publication as an independent magazine.

The editor-in-chief of Expo is Daniel Poohl. In 2014 the circulation of the magazine was 3,500 copies.

Expo (Stockhausen)

Expo, for three performers with shortwave receivers and a sound projectionist, is a composition by Karlheinz Stockhausen, written in 1969–70. It is Number 31 in the catalogue of the composer's works.

Expo (album)

Expo is the second album from the Robert Schneider solo project Marbles and is the follow-up to the 1997 release Pyramid Landing (And Other Favorites). Whereas Pyramid Landing was a showcase of experimental pop songs, Expo focuses more sharply on electronic pop music, similar to that of Gary Numan, one of Schneider's influences on the Expo. Other influences include Electric Light Orchestra, Brian Eno, Phoenix and The Cars.1 The liner notes for the album state a dedication to "Marci and Max". The album was released in 2005.
