Carl Richard Söderström works primarily with ceramic sculpture. In his artistic practice, craftmanship is central both to the process and to the finished object. He navigates between absolute control and sudden impulses as he challenges and experiments with the material.

We are pleased to present Andreas Glad’s third solo exhibition at Berg Gallery. The exhibiting brings together a new series of paintings depicting geografically diverse yet thematically interconnected locations—Hollywood Hills, Crete, Lomma, and Tokyo. The human figure is consistently absent, and the exhibition revolves around different forms of habitation, both temporary and permanent.

Billy Cobham, 81, is widely regarded as one of the greatest drummers in the fusion world. He broke through in Miles Davis’ fusion ensemble in 1970 and co-founded the Mahavishnu Orchestra the following year. In 1973 he released his debut album Spectrum, which has become a cornerstone of fusion history. Now he comes to Fasching with his quintet for an evening of explosive, virtuosic drum-driven fusion.
