Beyond (Svinalängorna), Sweden's submission to the Oscar foreign language category, is showing at the Tricycle Theatre in Kilburn on Thursday 16th February. Starring Noomi Rapace (The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo) and Ola Rapace (Wallander), this gripping drama is beautifully acted and deeply moving.

Tricycle Theatre, Kilburn

Currently showing at Parasol Unit for Contemporary Art is 'Time and Memory', the work of two Swedish artists, Cecilia Edefalk and Gunnel Wåhlstrand.  Both artists have memory at the core of their works carving out haunting scenarios between past and present.  Often painted in series, Edefalk's paintings allude to and intensify one another.  Wåhlstrand's technically brilliant photo-realistic black ink drawings are a deeply personal and carefully reconstucted documentation of her personal history.  Well worth a visit!

Time and Memory runs at Parasol Unit until 12th February.

Currently showing at 27, Connaught Street, is Urban Perspectives, showcasing the works of four contemporary artists, two Swedes and two Brits.  The exhibition consists purely of paintings with an urban landscape theme running throughout.  Thomas Zornat and Peter Ern are both established Swedish artists (their works represented in major Swedish collections), while Will Martyr and Lucy Smallbone were shortlisted for the Catlin prize for emerging British artists, Martyr winning the Catlin commission.

Exhibition viewing

26th October to 6th November, 11am to 6pm or by appointment.
