Among the participants of Utopics, the 11th Swiss Sculpture Exhibition in Biel/Bienne, Switzerland, the Kings Carl Michael von Hausswolff of Vargaland and Leif Elggren of Elgaland annexed the language boundary in Biel/Bienne. Biel/Bienne is bilingual, a French and German speaking city, called Biel in German and Bienne in French. To announce the assimilation of the language boundary, the Jugenorchester (youth orchestra) Biel/Bienne performed the National Anthem of the Kingdoms of Elgaland-Vargaland.
