What is the Monochrome Symphony? It’s an exploration of the impact of explorations in monochrome in art, built around Kazimir Malevich’s 1915 painting Black Square. It delves deep into the artform, examining the use of monocrohome by artists in art, design, fashion and music.

English singer Alice Russell will come to Kägelbanan for what will be her first performance on Swedish soil. One of her most notable collaborations was an appearance as a guest vocalist on ‘Men Will Do Anything’ from the Fatboy Slim and David Byrne concept album, Here Lies Love. Her most recent album, 2013’s To Dust, was given a three-and-a-half star rating by Rolling Stone, who said it “works Russell’s exquisite taste for beats and atmosphere into some of her strongest songs”. Don’t miss her this Friday

Saturday marks their second outing in their new home.
