It’s time again! SUPERMARKET art fair offers you a festival of painting, sculpture, video, performance, talks... and, naturally, you can also expect the unexpected....
From established names like Bill Drummond (the man who became a pop star with KLF in the 90s and then burnt the profit of one million pounds sterling) to the stars of tomorrow from the experimental art scene: R.E.P. from Kiev sells off the Ukraine on the cheap; Artillerie from Berlin shows a captured contemporary artist; Stockholm-based Candyland shows Bob Dylan. Those who want to be active and musical can Sew a Synth at Fylkingen or go to an audition at Galleri Syster or try out an electric guitar at Skånes konstförening.
SUPERMARKET’s fourth year involves more than 60 exhibitors from different parts of the world. 20 countries are represented, including France, Iceland, Canada, Serbia, Turkey, the Ukraine and the US. In a short time SUPERMARKET has become one of the world’s largest art fairs for artist-run galleries. And the driving force is not money: “Artists helping artists is an old concept and one could say that our fair is held together by this sense of companionship”, says founder Pontus Raud. “It is a form of idealism which is the fundament of free culture in Sweden”.
