ip Much-lauded Stockholm craft brewer Omnipollo has finally, after a three-year search, found a place to call home. A church in Sundbyberg, already functioning as a small-scale brewery, will be increased in capacity five-fold and transformed into Omnipollo’s experimenting workshop. Their idea is to also invite brewers from all across the world to their new home, as a kind of return gesture after they themselves have been well-looked after during their ten-years as so-called ‘gypsy brewers’. The first drops, brewed under the watchful eye of the lord, will reach thirsty consumers in April, just in time for Omnipollo’s opening of summer haunt Omnipollo’s Flora in Humlegården. We are the robots Say cheese Time is about to run out, the blockbuster exhibition exploring the 500-year story of humanoid robots and the artistic and scientific quest to understand what it means to be human is on its last legs at Tekniska Muséet. As well as being an incredible journey spanning several centuries with robotic artefacts from around the globe, the exhibition also showcases recent developments and raises pressing questions about our future. With over 100 humanoids the exhibition is the largest collection of such robots the world has seen. If you want to meet, and perhaps even interact, with some of those human-like machines, now is your time. It’s fascinating, frightening and possibly even more things beginning with an f. Anyway, time’s running out, better hurry. Robots, on display at Tekniska Muséet until March 15 Fotografiska has become a cultural institution in Stockholm over the course of the last decade. The idea of a museum dedicated to photographic art has now been exported to New York where they have opened in the historic Church Mission House building on Park Avenue South and 22nd Street. “We feel proud, not only as the founders but also as Stockholmers and Swedish entrepreneurs, that Fotografiska is now opening in New York. The aim from the beginning of Fotografiska was to create the world’s best meeting point dedicated to photography. After almost ten years this goal has been achieved in Stockholm with the help from extremely passionate and committed co-workers and photographers”, says Jan Broman and Per Broman, founders of Fotografiska. Fotografiska NYC will host about 20 exhibitions annually and combine this with an ambitious range of events and a high-profile restaurant and cocktail bar. 6 Photo: Anna Gerdén Photo: Patrik Lindén Photo: Adrian Gaut
