Revolve moves between different locations, from the countryside to the city: the orangery, the art museum, the park, the street, the concert house, the bus and the theatre stage. The different spaces become active elements of the art event and the meeting between the artist and the audience.

Revolve aims at bringing together a richness of expressions and artistic strategies allowing them to enhance, affect and collide with one another – an intense festival, rotating and revolving around art as event, experience and gathering.

We celebrate this by inviting some of the artists that have visited us during these years to reconnect. The evening marks the beginning of konst_örbyhus_slott, an initiative that aims to create an engaged platform for art in North Uppland.
