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”.

Unique Stockholm Restaurants With A Great Wine List

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.

    Gustav Adolfs torg 22, 111 52 Stockholm, Sweden
    new year's eve in Stockholm fireworks norrbro castle

    The city of Stockholm itself will not be setting a display of fireworks as previous years, instead it will invite us to a great pyro-musical New Year celebration at Norrbro and Gustav Adolfs Torg. By focusing on music and by choosing fewer big fireworks the celebration will be more sustainable. This year’s New Year celebration has changed character since last year with fewer roads closed to traffic. Instead, a pyro-musical will be set at Slottskajen, and you can watch it from Norrbro and Gustav Adolf’s square. Music with Swedish artists, ranging from classical to house, pop and rock, synchronised with colourful pyrotechnics will create a breathtaking show. A map over the area and more information about availability and roads closed for traffic can be found here. It starts at 23:30 and entrance is free!

    Opening in the presence of the artists
    Thursday January 16, at 5–7pm

    Jarl Ingvarsson: FABRICAE

    Ingvarsson’s artistic work stem from curiosity and an exploration of painting as a media, but also of the material that he works on. In the exhibition at Galerie Forsblom in Stockholm, Ingvarsson has painted on different kinds of textiles; sheets, fiber cloths, sun-blinds and more. Liberated from the traditional stretched and framed canvas, Ingvarsson’s paintings are unobstructed. With lightness he moves freely between figurative expressionism and abstraction.

    Ingvarsson (b. 1955) has been exhibited extensively in museums and galleries. His works are represented in collections such as Moderna Museet in Stockholm, Borås Museum of Modern Art, Gothenburg Museum of Art, Malmö Art Museum, Sweden and in private collections.

    Tuukka Tammisaari: Ricochet

    Tuukka Tammisaari’s paintings include references to art history, personal events, memories and observations of nature at large. With an assembly of naïve art, neo-expressionism and playfulness, the motifs and the mixing of color, are equally important in his artworks. The title of the exhibition ‘Ricochet’ is about immediacy, unintended effects and consequences.

    Tammisaari’s work is represented in collections at the Museum of Contemporary Art Kiasma, Helsinki, the Leiden University Medical Center, Netherlands, and in private collections. The artist (b. 1984) is based in Helsinki, Finland.

The big 60th anniversary will take place in August, but already the celebration starts with an exhibition about the table settting through the years – “6 decades of table settings”. A unique exhibition with porcelain that shows every decade’s typical style, curated by stylist Cecilia Tivar.

     

    Unique guest exhibition
    Marabouparken Konsthall and Klippan merge under Formex and launch in a joint booth two plaques by textile designer Wanja Djanaieff. The booth also shows pictures of Wanja’s designs and a sneak peek of the art gallery’s upcoming exhibition “Wanja’s life” this summer.

    One of Romania’s most wanted duos is in Stockholm for some nifty b2b action. COSMJN and LIZZ both pay careful attention to the craft of production and are accompanied by a slick style of track selection. When these two team up, it means some serious business on the floor. Better get ready for an intoxicating and trippy pilgrimage into the minimal void.

    The loose groove. The ability to find it in the myriad of influences from mainly soul, funk, disco, gospel and jazz. The ability to make the music sound at home but luxurious. Ability to connect underground impulses with commercial pop art at all. If Adam “Kindness” Bainbrige has any extra clear signs, it should be these.
