Volt presents The Shape of Things to Come at the House of Foundation, an exhibition by the Swedish author, musician and artist Johannes Heldén from Stockholm. The exhibition presents installations, watercolours and video works by Heldén, as well his literary works in the bookshop.

House of Foundation is a recently established collective/culture house in Moss. Its exhibition projects focus on the area between literature and visual art. What happens to visual art when it approaches literature or when literature adopts visual art strategies? House of Foundation invites different curators to carry out projects on its premises, and Volt has been asked to curate the first exhibition project following its opening in November 2009.
