Crispy leaves rustle at our feet and the first fresher winds are announcing that winter is coming soon. Life starts retracting indoors, but not only homewards… This is also a time for indoor music and film festivals, dining out at cozy restaurants or attending fairs like the Baking and Chocolate Fair. Oh yes, this is also the time we like to dress up like ghosts and pumpkins and go trick-or-treating. Let us guide you to some of this months event highlights, things to see and do in Stockholm.

Chelas – There’s a New Mexican in Town
Located at the trendy Hornstull neighbourhood of Södermalm, at Verkstadsgatan 4, you’ll find Chelas, Stockholm’s newest Mexican restaurant. Chelas opened its doors in July of 2019. The name comes from the Mexican slang word for beers and a phrase the Mexicans use when they want to socialise with friends and family: “Saca las chelas”. Literally translated it means “Bring out the beers”, but it can actually be better interpreted as “Let’s have some beers and hang out”.
The wine culture in Sweden is expanding, especially with the increase of vineyards in Skåne in the south of the country. In fact, 42% of all alcohol sales in Sweden consist of wine, and this is very different from brännvin, the traditional Swedish drink that translates as burn-wine. You can of course buy wine from the state owned Systembolaget. However, the only other place that you can buy wine and enjoy a glass is in licenced restaurants and bars that serve food. There are some great restaurants in Stockholm that unite their food and wine menu in perfect harmony, taking equal consideration to both.

Opening Reception: Love Lundell & C-print
Västra Trädgårdsgatan 4A, 111 53 Stockholm, SwedenOpening Reception, November 7, 6 – 8 PM
WG.102
Love Lundell
Sentimentally Yours, The Red ForestThis autumn Love Lundell will present a new series of work in the exhibition Sentimentally Yours, Red Forest at Wetterling Galllery. The series is about times of transition, the period between childhood and adulthood. Memories of sexual awakening and places connected to these memories. Or the emotion of being trapped in this stage of transition.
Love Lundell’s collaged paintings, drawings and prints unfold in their own world. Dreamlike, mystical and surreal, yet also anchored in the everyday, his evocative scenes draw the viewer in and hold them back simultaneously. Employing a collage technique, Lundell creates his intriguing wonderlands by sampling images from various sources and recontextualizing them to suggest a hallucinatory inner reality. He draws on his childhood memories, dreams, books and the internet for inspiration. Where his early works were densely packed with detail, calling to mind a curio shop, his recent series comprises more pared down, atmospheric compositions imbued with intense colours. Lundell was born in Stockholm in 1981 and attended Trondheim Academy of Fine Art, Norway. He lives and works in Stockholm.
WG.Project 21
Curated by C-print
All Disco Dance Must End In Broken BonesWith a wry and darkly humorous title lent from Whale’s 1998 indie album, All Disco Dance Must End In Broken Bones, presents as a group exhibition about gaining traction and accelerating to live your “best life”. Be it that this need for speed is to go ”all in” to pursue your intrinsic urges and desires hedonistically, or question being rather of truthful self-realization to be who you are and want to be, at the end of the day. Possessing often an immediate depictive quality, the works are layered, connoting directly to one thing at face value, while each being informed by a specific narrative of their own that go beyond what is seen at glance.
Participating in the group exhibition are Gethin Wyn Jones, Seroconversion, Philip Dufva, Carla Garlaschi, Karon Nilzén Jonsson and Theodor Ander. The group exhibition is curated by C-print.
Elder Island @ Obaren
Obaren, Sturehof, Nybrogatan, Stockholm, SwedenThe trio from Bristol ELDER ISLAND delivers a fantastic mix of dream pop and techno where mpc beats meet a myriad of synth, guitar, bass and cello.
They released their debut album The Omnitone Collection in February this year and are finally coming to Stockholm on their world tour.

Unique film screening on ice in Kungsträdgården
Jussi Björlings allé 5, Stockholm, SwedenStockholm Internatinonal Film Festival is arranging a Winter Cinema at an ice screen in Kungsträdgården, during the weekend November 9-10. The actress Rosanna Arquette opens the Winter Cinema, November 9th at 4:00 pm, as the sun sets over Stockholm. The event is free with the purpose of screening quality cinema to the wider audience. The ice is harvested from Torneälven in Jukkasjärvi and weighs 6 tons.
– Ten years ago, we created an unforgettable moment for the Stockholmers when Susan Sarandon visited the festival and opened the world’s first ice screen at our 20th Anniversary. This year, we treat everyone on a sparkling cinematic experience, and my only worry is that the ice screen will melt because of all cinema-love that will be spread by the audience in Kungsträdgården, says Git Scheynius, Festival Director at Stockholm Film Festival.
November 9-10 the fountain in Kungsträdgården will transform into a movie theatre with lined up benches that the public can enjoy the screenings on. The films that will be screened is After Hours (1985) and The Nightmare Before Christmas (1993). The audience is encouraged to bring warm clothes and blankets to sit on.
The 6 000 tons heavy blocks of ice have been transported 1227 kilometers, from Tornälven in Jukkasjärvi. The construction of the ice screen starts November 9th, 5:00 am.
