CFHILL presents Martin Wickström’s first solo exhibition, OSLO. Rooted in superrealism and a poetic visual language, Wickström captures still moments where time seems to pause. Drawing on film, photography, and media imagery, the exhibition moves between the concrete and the suggested, inviting the viewer into a state rather than a narrative.

At Själagårdsgatan 19, where the Jewish Museum is housed, a synagogue once stood. The synagogue served as a centre of Jewish life in the city and across the country. For nearly a century, from 1795 to 1870, the Jews of Stockholm gathered here to take part in community life and to seek guidance and support from the rabbi. The people who prayed, lived, and worked here were pioneers of Jewish life in Sweden. This exhibition tells their story and the story of their Old Town shul.

There is something mysterious about Hannes. Although he is now a household name, his artistry remains light years from that of the polished pop star. His music feels more like a serious game – soulful, free in form and with an imperfect perfection that feels both disarming and deeply human.
