ART: TIMOTHY WILSON
Timothy Wilson is a fast-rising Stockholm sculptor whose work has been exhibited at the Swedish Museum of Performing Arts, Söderdepån and more. Wilson’s work uses light design to cast his pieces in futuristic darkness. His new exhibition is called Monochromantic, and it opens at Belenius this weekend.
GIG: ALDOUS HARDING
New Zealand singer-songwriting Aldous Harding released her second album Party this year, a record that planted her firmly on the musical map, full of beautiful, soft-focus folk. This September she released a new single, Elation, that carries on where Party left off, and you can see her play it live at Bar Brooklyn on Sunday.
