Gig: Jens Lekman Even if the outlook still looks
bleak for a full return to normality, at least concerts are coming back in some form. Fasching are hosting indie darling Jens Lekman in October, and adjusting to regulations by having two shows on the same day, at 18:30 and 21:00, with the audience restricted to the officially-approved 50-person limit for both. However, if you’re not lucky enough to get a ticket, the 21:00 show is being streamed live on their Facebook page.

Exhibition: Lyssna It’s another exhibition about climate change, but this one turns the spotlight onto how we talk and communicate with each other about the subject. Two films are being shown in the project room, Sophie Vuković’s Untitled Abisko, a love story set in a landscape undergoing dramatic change, and Jens Evaldsson’s 3-D animated film Axis Mundi and the Stomach Without End. Also included are educational works by Peter Lang. Visitors are invited to contribute their own thoughts and discussions about climate change, putting communication back in focus. The exhibition is a collaboration between Konsthallen Färgfabriken, Virserums konsthall and Skellefteå konsthall. Lyssna, Färgfabriken, on display until Nov 29 Exhibition: Trollbunden Around the start of the 20th century, traditional stories of nature and the mystical creatures of folk tales started to have a resurgence as an inspiration in the minds of artists. Central to this was John Bauer, whose rich, vivid world of princesses, ogres draped in the shadows of endless forest captured the imagination of the public through his illustrations for the Bland tomtar och troll collection of stories. He’s at the heart of this exhibition, but it also features the work of many other artists who danced with the same themes and subjects. Trollbunden – John Bauer och den magiska naturen, Prins Eugens Waldermarsudde, on display until Jan 2021 Gig: Klabbes Bank And another festival finding a way to survive corona is Stockholm Jazz Festival, who are also having limited-audience concerts as a means of making live music happen again. So you’ll have the chance to see the innovative jazz-electro sixpiece Klabbes Bank take over at Kulturhuset in October, along with 125 other programme events across various venues (check their website for the full line-up). At the moment, the ticket release for every show is 50, but there is the possibility for an increased release if conditions improve and the authorities allow bigger groupings.
