events What’s on in Stockholm Stockholm, 16–18 November Moment—Moki Cherry Date: 16–18 November Opening times: 10:00–18:00 Wednes- day & Thursday | 10:00–20:00 Friday Venue: Moderna Museet, Skeppsholmen www.modernamuseet.se With a mixture of original works, music and stage photos, the museum of modern art in Stockholm is hon- ouring Swedish artist Moki Cherry (1943–2009). Her artistic practice was inspired by experiments such as counter-urbanisation, subsistence farming and children’s projects. Visi- tors can follow Cherry’s journey be- tween life, art, pop, jazz and politics through her colourful and vibrant art. The exhibition includes works made from 1967 to 2007, but high- lights particularly her 1970s crea- tions. The museum is located on Skeppsholmen, an island in central Stockholm that can be accessed by foot, bus and boat. For the last, take the Djurgården ferry from Slussen and enjoy a 5-minute panoramic ride before entering Moki Cherry’s eclec- tic world. Autechre Date: 16 November Start time: 21:00 Venue: Kägelbanan, Södra Teatern, Mosebacke Torg 1–3 www.sodrateatern.com One of electronic music’s most exciting and critically acclaimed acts, British duo Autechre will be perform- ing on Wednesday night at Kägel- banan. However, those of you inter- ested in the spectacular gold and red velvet setting of the Södra Teatern, Stockholm’s oldest active theatre, constructed in 1856, will be disap- pointed: The concert will be performed in total darkness in order to convey the “classically pitch-dark mind-warp- ing audio affair” that is an Autechre live experience. Presenting their lat- est album, elseq 1–5—a 4 hour-long electronic music feast in five pieces— Manchester natives Sean Booth and Rob Brown will be supported by Russell Haswell and Andy Maddocks in Stockholm.

Christmas market in the Old Town Date: 19 & 20 November Opening times: 11:00–18:00 Venue: Stortorget, Old Town of Stockholm www.stortorgetsjulmarknad.com Visitors extending their stay to the weekend should make sure to experience the medieval charme and Swedish delicacies sold at the Old Town Christmas Market that opens on Saturday. Held for the first time in 1523, the market is the oldest one in Sweden and one of the oldest Christmas markets in Europe. During the four weeks before Christmas, select vendors sell local specialities, such as smoked sausages and rein- deer meat, candy floss and glögg (mulled wine), as well as a range of Swedish handicrafts and decorative arts of high-quality workmanship. Put on some warm winter clothing to brave the crisp November tempera- tures and immerse yourself in the magic of a Nordic Christmas.
