ys pop, but always a band. Now, pared down to a duo after the release of their dark 2016 album Camp Echo, Ingrid Helene Håvik and Trond Bersu are embarking on a new adventure. The debut single of the new era, 5 Million Miles indicated that they were aiming down the throats of pop’s mainstream, and the big sound and choruses of their follow-up singles confirmed it. The latest, I Call Bullshit, takes their sound in a softer direction, and it’s the start signal for an autumn tour. They come to Stockholm in November. Highasakite, Obaren, Nov 15 Exhibition: Moderna Exhibition An exhibition that only comes around every four years, the Moderna Exhibition aims to capture something of the essence of Swedish society in 2018, looking back on the history and the events that have led to where we are now. Artists present their views on Sweden past, their experience of living in present-day Sweden and their hopes and visions of the future. Joa Ljungberg and Santiago Mostyn have curated the exhibition, and they’ve painstakingly collected the works of almost 40 artists from the Swedish art scene. A book will also be released around the exhibition in association with Konstnärsnämnden. Moderna Exhibition 2018, Moderna Museet, on display until Jan 6 2018 Theatre: Who’s Afraid Of Jenny Wilson? An album that deals with heavy themes like illness and sexual violence, Jenny Wilson’s new album Exorcism will stand as one of the starkest and most powerful records released this year. Wilson says: “This is the most difficult thing I have ever done, on so many levels. […] I ended up at a crossroads: to keep silent – or to speak. It wasn’t an easy decision. I didn’t want to speak out. I hadn’t the strength to speak out. I was forced to speak out”. And she’s not backing down now. Wilson takes her story to Dramaten for a new performance Who’s Afraid of Jenny Wilson?, on which she’s collaborated with artist Hanna Kisch and director Py Huss-Wallin. A trip through the darkness, through nightmares and dreams, it’s subtitled ‘We’ve stopped staying quiet now. We’re an army and together we’ll take back the night”.
