Muhammad Ali, ‘Silent Alienation’, 2018 Rezan Arab, ‘Out of Time and Space’, 2018 Nisrine Boukhari, untitled, drawing, pen and golden paper, 2018
AllArtNow, Syria’s first venue for contemporary art, was co-founded in 2005 by artist Nisrine Boukhari and curator Abir Boukhari. It promoted Syrian artists through local and international events including exhibitions, residencies, talks and workshops. In 2012 it gave its building in Damascus old town to refugee families and became nomadic. AllArtNow continues to create opportunities for artists and has been selected to participate in many international events. In 2011 it produced the first contemporary art festival in Damascus and organised an informal school for contemporary art. In 2019 it opened a temporary space in Stockholm and launched AllArtNow Lab. Here we are developing new partnerships, planning for the future, and investigating issues of mobility, displacement and exile.

Ayanda Mabulu, ‘Infant Democracy’, oil paint and gold leaf on canvas, 235 x 175 cm, 2017 Ayanda Mabulu, ‘Unmasked Piece of Shit’, serigraph on original World War II Nazi flag, 320 x 180 cm, 2018 Juliana Irene Smith, ‘Hello Pussy’, 2014. Part of the zine ‘You Are So Boring’.
Ayanda Mabulu walks into Juliana Irene Smith’s Safe Space. They discuss through open holistic communication strategies and a gun war… Kalashnikovv Gallery and Alma Marfa It can be argued that Ayanda Mabulu is interested in firing shots at institutions and leaders oppressing black people in South Africa. His work, depicting satirical versions of powerful South Africans, has prominent politicians to question whether Mabulu should be censored. Intimidation, armed men entering his studio, death threats and the removal of his paintings from art fairs have not stopped Mabulu from producing and exhibiting in his native South Africa. Juliana Irene Smith works with post-trauma in her art. For the past few years she has been working on a project called ‘Access Intimacy’ which serves as a guide to creating safe spaces. Both artists challenge the current patriarchal hierarchy, one by confronting the viewer and the other by comforting: they are equally important. 8

Alternative Art Guide (The Naked) during Marrakech Biennale 2014 presenting Roy Villevoye
The largest guide to alternative art spaces around the world. The Alternative Art Guide is a new tool to discover art spaces that are often difficult to find. With over 1,200 worldwide listings it is the largest online overview of non-profit, artist-run and independent   art spaces. The interactive map makes it easier to get the most out of visiting a new city, or to find what is around the corner. The Alternative Art Guide provides insight into local conditions for contemporary art with a collection   of articles. These are contributed by artist-run spaces and curators in the field, raising questions about locality versus globalisation and how different art practices take shape around the world. The guide is continually updated with new spaces, and keeps track of spaces when they move or close.

Berlinskej Model Prague, Czech Republic Pplk. Sochora 9, 170 00 Prague, Czech Republic berlinskejmodel@ gmail.com | www.berlinskejmodel.cz
Berlinskej Model is a non-profit gallery based in art district Holešovice, Prague. It was founded in 2011 and is known as a meeting point for the contemporary art scene, crossing borders of local districts, genres and generations. The gallery organises workshops, discussion panels and concerts, and issues an magazine called RAJON. It focuses on contemporary art with overlaps in political and social activism. Probably the most interesting thing about the gallery is its concept of day-long exhibitions (every Wednesday) – a vernissage/dernissage with dinner made by exhibiting artist. At Supermarket Berlinskej Model presents: Lenka Balounová, lenkabalounova.tumblr.com Alžběta Krňanská, alzbetakrnanska.tumblr.com Radek Brousil, www.brousil.name/rade Vít Svoboda, Instagram: #Weed_svoboda 10

BiteVilnius AiR (mainly active in Denmark and Lithuania) focuses on art, art meetings, learning, mentoring and research across borders. The BiteVilnius Artist-in-Residency idea is built upon six years’ experience of BiteVilnius projects for Nordic and Baltic collaborative artistic practices. It is Lithuania’s first artist-run residency focusing on performative pedagogy and has the aim of building networks of Nordic and Baltic artists. The programme is in picturesque natural surroundings historically connected with the first Lithuanian festivals of happenings and actions AN88 (1988) and AN89 (1989). The residency building is a unique 19th century farm with a large garden which may be used for events. Site-specific large scale projects, process-oriented work and interdisciplinary events are encouraged. 11

Bunkern is an artist studio collective providing two gallery spaces focusing on young visual arts. Bunkern started in 2015 as a platform for young contemporary artists in the Örebro region to work and exhibit; it also is an opportunity to showcase artists from other parts of Sweden. Our aspiration is to make Örebro a good and vibrant place for young artists to live. Apart from exhibitions and studio space Bunkern have organised art festivals, workshops, and curatorial work as well as one-off art events and happenings. This year we are exhibiting Henrik Jonsson, a local artist who just graduated from the Royal institute of Art in Stockholm. 12

Centrala is a Birmingham-based creative space focusing on socially-engaged art and artists from Central and Eastern Europe. For Supermarket Centrala is collaborating with Short Circuit, an international platform for digital media and moving image. The booth represents a metaphorical screenshot of the expanded exhibition, ‘The Digital Diaspora’ in situ at Studio 44, Stockholm until 7 April 2019. Based on the topics of unity and division this timely project lays particular emphasis on Europe marking 30 years of the fall of the Berlin Wall and the opening up of Eastern Europe. Contrastingly taking place during the British Exit from the EU, the exhibition explores the themes of migration, borders and identity realised by artists Tamara Kametani, Anna Jochymek, Jens Masimov and Zoë Aiano. 13

Documentation of the first annual group exhibition ‘cx I’, Centre of Urban Culture, Perm, Russia, 2018
cx is the abbreviation of the informal union of artists, which appeared a year ago in Perm, Russia, as an alternative to the conservative union of artists, whose ideals and methods have not changed since the USSR. In the absence of a clear hierarchy system, our union has a flexible structure and is horizontal organisation. For non-metropolitan cities in Russia it is the one way for artists to survive in the absence of a developed system of contemporary art. In the framework of Supermarket, we plan to set up a tent for a few ‘surviving artists’ to present their works inspired by a ‘survival kit’. Each of them will be a document, instruction or some kind of survival tool. We plan to erase the line between intervention, performance and conventional exhibition space. 14

Founded in 2009, Durden and Ray is comprised of artist/curators who work together to create exhibition opportunities at their downtown Los Angeles space as well as in concert with artist groups and gallery spaces around the world. Durden and Ray concentrate on small, tightly curated group shows at the space, organised by the members, as well as the hosting of international artists as part of their commitment to global exchange and alternative networks. The Durden and Ray model expressly overlaps multiple strategies, including the commercial potential and visual identity of a gallery, the democratic structure of an artists’ group, and the shared fiscal support of its programmes by group members and project partners similar to a non-profit organisation.

Ed Video is delighted to return to Supermarket in 2019 after a five-year hiatus. Curated by Angel Callander, Ed Video’s booth features video, sculpture, and photography by four young women who are rapidly gaining attention in Canada and internationally – Ivana Dizdar, Sophia Oppel, Xuan Ye, and Becca Wijshijer. Presented together, the work examines the entangled and accepted structures of politics, technology, education, business, and global economics. Referring to the Supermarket’s theme, the unspoken rules that artists choose to adhere to (or reject) are redefined by a new generation with bold proposals about the future of contemporary art.

FFTN (fifteen) is a non-commercial art micro-space of 4.5 m2 in the center of Saint Petersburg. It was launched in the end of 2017 by Irina Aksenova and Ilya Grishaev as a “room for happiness” which means a freedom of expression and tender support for artists and art workers. Since then the space has become one of the key art places in the city. FFTN presents from two to four projects every month. One of the frequent formats of work is an individual tour, when a visitor takes keys to a secret spot and enjoys the art in a private atmosphere. FFTN exhibits both young and well-established artists, hosts cultural events and works as a temporary shelter for art workers in need.

Galleri Gotland in Visby is run by The Gallery Association in Gotland which consists of about fifty artists and a board of six representatives. We aim to show interesting contemporary art and encourage cooperation and exchanges with local, national and international artists, collectives and organisations. During Supermarket two members from the gallery will exhibit and represent Gallery Gotland. Oedipus x 2 - the living complex? What is taboo today? When we live in a society where people accept more and more things from one day to another, we must go into the depths and find the most banal thing we can to find today’s taboo. We go to the core of time and the past to find a taboo that is universal, as current today as it was yesterday – and that is Oedipus. 20

Interface is a non profit studio space and residency programme on the West Coast of Ireland. Our mission is to provide catalysing opportunities for artists-in-residence to engage with other international artists and local people through a unique platform, within an area of outstanding natural beauty, that explores the intersections between scientific research and art. Jasmin Märker’s work ‘My Immortals’ is a silk wall hanging reminiscent of a Thangka painting featuring a Mandala as centrepiece – both a microcosm and a symbolic representation of the cosmos. Instead of using paint or sand the patterns are made up of images of the microbes Jasmin has cultured from her own body (ear, armpit and gut) and her environment (dog, shower, sinks, fridge, soil) as well as slime-mould and mushroom cultures. 24

‘The Mistake of Paul Klee Repairs’, Kropotkina 11, 2018
Kropotkina 11 is a space for different practices with a pre arranged death date (18.7.2019) that work with social, cultural and political events from across time as a way of rethinking the present and its continuity. It is an artistic project, where critical theory, aesthetics and community practices merge, forming a transversal hole that produces a proximity beyond friendship, a possibility of research beyond institutions, and art outside the museum infrastructure. We dedicate time to slow irregular work with communities, marginal practices, mistakes, as well as tentative, contemporary, obsolete and timely historical layers and characters. It stems from a group reading ‘A Thousand Plateaus’ (Guattari) that continues on its path of deterritorialisation and wonders: what is possible to do right now?

Land404 is an artist-run residency and curatorial platform based in a farmhouse on the coast of southern Sweden. The premise of Land404 is to create a dialogue between rural and urban spaces. Each year we invite a small group of artists to live with us and build a site specific exhibition in the area through a collaborative, experimental and intimate process. They explore ideas of the rural, the urban and people’s relationship to nature. Once the residency is closed we continue to work with the artists to adapt the exhibition and show it in urban spaces. This way the artworks mimic the depopulation from rural areas to cities and open a parallel path of interpretation: one that asks both how we are affected by the spaces we inhabit and what we win or lose in the process.

DIY artist-run space managed by three local artists. Since 2017 it has been following an ongoing mindset of shaping its know-how along with its collaborations – most of them being presented in the form of group shows. Underlying the necessity of being in touch with the conscious form of artistic practice and research, the space is coagulating its purposes by drawing a thin border between aesthetics and content. Essential for the space is getting in touch with the principles which drive an artwork to be produced, so here is where a dialogue can be set. The space is meant as a tool for research into local contemporary art in order to establish connections with bright minds who have something relevant to say about the world. 30

Data Bosma, ‘Poes’, installation, 2017
Nieuwe Vide presents Data Bosma. Her work researches human aspects of technology and the web, using the digital platform to analyse people and herself. The work is about desire or obsession, shown in offline sculptures and installations. We are an exhibition space, artists’ studios and project space. Studios are rented by designers, animators and illustrators. We work with these artists and creatives whenever possible and are a launch pad for artists’ careers. The project space is used for workshops and gatherings. True to our squatters roots twenty years ago, we are socially engaged. We operate on a community level with a weekly soup lunch for artists and local residents, each year we offer a professional art course for teens, and we have a film club for people with non-western backgrounds. 31

Three artists from Nulobaz gallery are joining in the spirit of Josef Kowner (b.1895), a prolific painter who survived the holocaust and after the war immigrated to Sweden. He continued making art in Kalmar until his death in 1967. Each artist will be dealing with their personal take on the subject of immigration as well as estrangement. Avi Levin is a photographer who examines the Israeli society and its multi layered character. He focuses on immigration and the dreams behind it. Rakefet Viner Omer is a feminist, interdisciplinary, bad painting painter. Her feverish artistic world looks upon human whims with an amused, forgiving air. Elyasaf Kowner is a multidisciplinary artist who specialises in painting and video art. He often focuses on transformation. Josef Kowner was his great uncle.

Ormston House is a meeting place for the arts in the heart of Limerick City. We opened in 2011 as a Cultural Resource Centre to welcome audiences seeking more maverick and experimental projects. As an agile organisation with an alternative ethos, Ormston House offers an intimate experience with direct access to and interaction between artists, participants and staff. The three pillars of our programme are artistic ambition, professional development and public/community engagement. Our core question is: How can we better support artists? For Supermarket, we present work by Joy Gerrard. Drawing on themes of protest and urban space, Gerrard remakes media-borne crowd images from around the world. Recent work documents Brexit protests in the UK and the Repeal the 8th movement in Ireland.

Patara (meaning ‘small’ in Georgian) is an artist-run gallery in a tiny shop window beneath one of Tbilisi’s many underpasses, surrounded by small kiosks and Persian night clubs. Our intervention in the place of an ‘unpleasant’ smell and content provokes art that looks for reality – that bears a real sense of ‘real’. Looking for honest or political, sweet or rude, cheerful or unconventional, stupid or wild, or ‘all together’ works and nice people, we give a rotating cast of artists the chance to create installations that people can stumble on as they navigate the city. At Supermarket we will present three completely different artists, each of them will design their own wall in our booth and present their works as they desire. We give them total freedom just as we give it in our gallery. 34

Established in 1973, the artist-run centre SAW supports politically and socially engaged art, focusing on performance and media arts. Many of the world’s best-known artists have exhibited at SAW early in their careers. In 1981, the centre founded SAW Video to support video artists and documentarists. At this time Club SAW was also initiated, which became the most important multidisciplinary space in the region. With an audience of over 40,000, SAW aims to be a premier artist-run centre in Canada and the world, engaging in innovative programming, outreach and exchange initiatives. Set to reopen in July 2019, SAW triples its size to 15,000 square feet with expanded exhibition spaces, a state-of-the-art live performance venue, a new circumpolar artistic research space called Nordic Lab and an outdoor courtyard. 35

It is a non-profit project space based in Izmir and opened its doors in December 2017. Every year in its activities in May and December, Shelter creates a place for contemporary art events where artists can express themselves in an interdisciplinary communication environment. It opens its structures to project partnerships and event recommendations to strengthen its identity as a contemporary art space. In the ‘All about the Benjamins’ project we analysed how the economic crisis in Turkey impacted on artists and culture managers – the economic difficulties, overcoming these difficulties, and the transformation in art production. 36

Polish Tropical Pavilion is a mobile art space in a traditional Polish caravan Niewiadów n126a run by Swojskie tropiki (Karolina Włodek, Adam Martyniak) with Joanna Kobyłt. Inside it, under the tropical epidermis, a multi-dimensional exhibition of several Polish artists will blossom, showing some native Polish phenomena with a note of sentiment for the exotic. Swojskie tropiki (homely tropics) is an artistic project focused on longing for the exotic, which often materialises in free creativity manifested as ‘intimate semi-public places’ or more private ones. Swojskie tropiki is about affirming such free creativity as universal activity and common for every single person. 39

Ta·da is an exhibition space, run by Rikke Goldbech and Anne-Louise Knudsen, currently located in a laundromat in Copenhagen, Denmark. The exhibitions always consist of nine A3 formats placed above the washing machines. In addition, the exhibiting artists, both local and international, have interacted differently with the space; showing live streamed performances, film screenings, sculptural objects and launching a newspaper, to mention but a few. The laundromat breaks with the notion of a traditional exhibition space, being a public space usually stripped of any information not relating to laundry – at Ta·da art interacts with the daily life of the laundromat. The project is community-based and relates to the local site, this vision is more important than a fixed space for Ta·da. 40

Jean-François Caissy, ‘Exposition agricole’, video 17:09 min, 2017
In this single-channel video installation, Jean-François Caissy presents the particular yet ordinary world of agricultural fairs in rural Québec. Beyond the document’s anthropological aspect, ‘Exposition agricole’ covers highly aesthetic issues, perceptible, for example, in the two-part rhythm that animates this series of tableaux vivants, as the stillness of the frames contrasts with the movements of the animals, machines, and humans that cross them. A contemporary musical score by Julien Bilodeau lends an emotive element to the film and offsets the filmmaker’s distanced posture. Established in 1971 in Montréal, Vidéographe is an artist-run centre dedicated to the research and the dissemination of experimental moving image practices. 45

Detroit Stockholm is a non-profit organisation – a free platform for artists, with 24 studio spaces and gallery in central Stockholm. Representing the gallery at Supermarket is Zahra Zavareh (Iran). In this work she battles the notion of detachment and death anxiety. Through installation and technology Zavareh explores the questions – What connections are real? Which connections are fake or augmented? Mats Petersson, ‘Firewatch’, photograph, 2018
Candyland’s dynamic programme is the result of each of the founding members being free to invite any artist without the consent of the group. United by their common interest in promoting a wide variety of contemporary art they have produced more than 160 exhibitions since 2004. For their exhibitions at Supermarket the Candylandians make collective decisions and this year they invite Mats Petersson, a photographer who has been following controlled burns of forests in South Sweden. A controlled burn, also known as hazard reduction burning, is a wildfire set intentionally for improving wildlife habitat and short-term fodder for grazing; it also controls tree disease and perpetuates fire dependent species.

Galleri Majkens is a women artist-run gallery, producing feminist‑themed exhibitions and events in Stockholm. The gallery aims to interrupt the male-dominated cultural scene by highlighting artists with feminist, queer and critical practices. The show UNRELIABLE NATURALISTS* presents artistic positions that challenge the idea of a profound separation of nature/culture, theory/practice and magic/science. *The title uses the name of the concept and framework by featured artist Beth Savage, which she develops as part of her PhD at Teesside University England.

With the blazing colors of Risograph prints, from BABYMETAL to Japanese technical and material sensibilities. These aesthetics, minimalist and maximalist at the same time, have left their indelible impressions on both artists. Come make a rubber stamp of their work for yourself!

Professional Networking Participants 2019
First launched in 2016, the Professional Networking Participants (PNP) programme was introduced to provide a designated meeting place for Swedish and international art professionals to expand their networks beyond the limitations of an exhibition space. Our objective is to facilitate exchange of knowledge and experience, increase mobility for artists and artist‑run organisations worldwide, and strengthen the network of artist-run galleries and self‑organising artists’ initiatives. Although PNPs do not exhibit in the art fair, they are invited to Supermarket Forum, Meetings programme, Exhibitors party and special discussion seminars, and have access to the VIP Exhibitor lounge. We have focused on inviting artists and art professionals who act as exhibition organisers and other influential members of artistic communities across the world to meet and exchange experiences and strategies, enabling the possibility of new international collaborations.
