About this audio guide
This guide to Röda Sten Konsthall in Gothenburg is about the building itself: a boiler house from nineteen forty beneath the Älvsborg Bridge that once fed heat to the factories of Klippan. It follows the decades the fires were out, the ravers and graffiti writers who moved in, and a businessman, an architect and a shipping magnate who took an interest in the ruin. Best heard standing outside, facing the painted walls.
