Pixies @ Cirkus
Cirkus, Djurgårdsslätten, Stockholm, SwedenWhen the band was formed in the mid 80s out of the punk era, no one could have imagine that now, thirty years later, they would be accounted as one of the most important acts of the late 20th century. Without Pixies no Nirvana, no Blur, no Weezer, maybe not even a Radiohead. What a sad world we would have lived in. Now the band is getting ready to release their seventh full-length album.
My Dad Wrote A Porno
Berzelii park 9, 111 47 Stockholm, Sverige“It will leave you crying with laughter” – GQ
Their critically acclaimed HBO special is a hit with over 180 million viewers and their previous world tour sold out everywhere. Now the gang behind the podcast “My Dad Wrote a Porno” is back with a brand new live show.
Imagine how you would react if your dad wrote an erotic novel. Many would had probably stopped their heads in the sand and never ever utter a word about it. Jamie Morton did the opposite and started a podcast instead. With him on this embarrassing journey, he has his best friends James Cooper and Alice Levine. For all of us who are not in the same situation as Jamie, it is hysterically fun to listen to how they go through chapter by chapter and break down daddy Rocky Flintstone’s (which of course is a pseudonym) work to understand how he could imagine it was a good idea to write the book “Belinda Blinked”.

Opening: Anna Camner / Toni R. Toivonen / Ann-Sofie Claesson
Karlavägen 9, 114 24 Stockholm, SwedenAnna Camner / Toni R. Toivonen / Ann-Sofie Claesson
Galerie Forsblom Stockholm
October 4–November 10, 2019Opening in the presence of the artists
Thursday October 3, at 5–7pmAnna Camner: A Plague I Call a Heartbeat
Anna Camner’s paintings invite reflective contemplation. They are precise close-up studies of materials, textures and surfaces, but it is difficult to determine just what these materials are; natural, or fabricated, alive or dead. The paintings are usually small and to perceive their details, they must be seen up close in an intimate encounter with the artwork. With technical brilliance, Camner uses the possibilities of painting to create pictures that could hardly be achieved with a camera.
Camner (b. 1977) graduated from the Royal Institute of Art, Stockholm, in 2003. Her work has been exhibited internationally in solo shows in London and New York and recently in a group show in Mumbai, India. In conjunction with the award of the prestigious annual Beckers Art Award in 2017, her work was exhibited at Färgfabriken, Stockholm, Sweden.
This is Camner’s first exhibition at Galerie Forsblom.
—Toni R. Toivonen: The Last Presence
Toivonen’s work stem from a physical process of decay where deceased animals like dogs, hares, cows and horses, are transformed into artworks. Toivonen places the animal onto a sheet of brass and when putting it to its final rest, the procedure becomes a burial. By time, the animals decompose into a nature morte, a still life, where they are captured in their last presence.
Toni R. Toivonen (b. 1987) graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts, Helsinki, 2016. He has been exhibited extensively in Finland as well as internationally in Berlin, Vienna, London, and New York. His works are included in public collections at the Kiasma Museum of Contemporary Art, the Sara Hildén Museum of Art in Finland and at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Kraków, Poland. In 2019 Toivonen received a grant from the Greta and William Lehtinen Foundation.
—Ann-Sofie Claesson: One Life
Ann-Sofie Claesson’s artistry is anchored in universal themes such as time, memory, identity and family. At Galerie Forsblom a new series of paintings is presented, based on black and white photographs that pays an homage to her grandmother. The surface of the paintings has a texture reminiscent of organic patterns. Fleeting moments and memories linger in Claesson’s works along with the transient nature of time and life.
Claesson (b. 1992) graduated from the University of the Arts Helsinki, 2018. She has exhibited in the studio at Galerie Forsblom in Helsinki and in group exhibitions including Liljevalchs, Stockholm, Borås Museum of Modern Art, Sweden and Amos Andersson’s Art Museum, Helsinki, Finland.
Opening Reception: Peter Blake
Västra Trädgårdsgatan 4A, 111 53 Stockholm, SwedenWetterling Gallery is proud to present the exhibition ‘Joseph Cornell’s Holiday’ by Sir Peter Blake. The American artist Joseph Cornell (1903- 1972) has been a great inspiration for Peter Blake. Cornell is sometimes referred to as Americas first surrealist, working with shadow boxes in which he arranged fragments of found objects. He also made films and collages. Joseph Cornell lived a rather isolated life taking care of his mother and disabled brother, basically never leaving the New York City area.
In the exhibition ‘Joseph Cornell’s Holiday’, Peter Blake sends out Cornell on a travel through Europe. In a large number of paper collages Blake lets Cornell visit places he couldn’t travel to in his own life.

Chromatics recently released the single Time Rider, a metaphor of the bridge between the future and the past. Now you can finally experience it live.
