Galleri Lars Palm is an artist-run gallery situated in a former worker’s house in the industrial town Sandviken, Gävleborg, Sweden. The gallery is a part of the Backbeatbolaget cultural association – a space of cultural cohabitation for art, music, theatre and subculture. The gallery is devoted to contemporary art and is a place that urges experiment, as well as offering a creative space for artists.

For Supermarket 2021 we present Abigail Janjic, an artist based in Geneva and engaged in the residency program Optic Art Residency, a collaboration between Picto Association (Geneva), Galleri Lars Palm and local associations in the Gävleborg region. Through the Optic Art Residency program we want to create opportunities for artists in Sweden and Switzerland to experience and contribute to an exchange between our places.
