Trots finanskris och allmän deppighet över en förlorad högkonjunktur så har det nu blivit dags för en fjärde inter-nationell mässa för konstnärsdrivna gallerier och konstnärsinitiativ.

Det är lite av Alice i Underlandet när finanskrisen skrivit om den ekonomis-ka kartan på väldigt kort tid. I Sverige har vi sett finansministern, likt den Vita Kaninen, springa omkring på det ena tepartyt efter det andra för att skälla ut försiktiga bankdirektörer.

I världen har den Röda Drottningen ”Hugg huvet av allihopa!” Bush fått lämna över krocketklubban åt den be-tydligt mindre hetlevrade Obama. Likt Alice i sin blå klänning får Obama ta på sig den otacksamma frälsarrollen och städa upp i all röra som drottning Bush orsakat.

I den här historien kanske man kan se samtidskonsten som Cheshirekatten, som byter skepnad gång efter gång men ändå är den mystiska, gåtfulla varelse som alla försöker förstå men ingen vet vad den vill. Konsten har en förmåga att leva vidare, på konst-

närernas bekostnad visserligen, men vi fortsätter att bygga upp estetiska luftslott.

Konstnärerna är konstens största sponsorer med sitt obetalda slit och nu är det dags för den fjärde konst-närsdrivna mässan i Stockholm. I ny kostym visserligen, på Clarion Hotel denna gång. Ett häftigt ombyte från förra årets garagelokaler! Från råa betonggolv till softa hotellmiljöer. Supermarkets förmåga att byta skep-nad skulle inte minst uppskattats av Cheshirekatten själv.

I dessa föränderliga miljöer verkar samtidskonsten med en energi som vibrerar och rasar mellan väggarna, klangerna är olika, men pulsen och det myllrande kaoset detsamma.Vinet kanske är dyrare i år, men å andra si-dan är fåtöljerna mjukare och inbjud-er till längre och krokigare samtal.

I stort sett har 2008 varit ett bra år för den konstnärsdrivna scenen. Det är fantastiskt att se hur den växer och blir mer och mer tongivande. Vi konst-närer har kommit till den klassiska insikten att tillsammans är vi starka,

festen på Supermarket 2009. Så tysta som Eva Swartz och hennes sekreter-are har varit så kan man bara spe-kulera om vad som komma skall. Lite har läckt ut eller droppats från deras högkvarter. Kulturen ska inte längre vara en stoppkloss för kommersiella intressen, och hur detta kommer att förändra den klassiska konstnärsrol-len blir intressant att se. Borta är den bullriga rödvinskommunisten med sin hopplösa idealism och in kommer en rökfri lättillgänglig kommunikatör som initierar produktionsvänliga pro-jekt.

Jag har lyssnat på många debatter och seminarier, och deltagit på de ”visionära möten” som staten bjudit in till. Det är till slut alltid en röst som höjs bland debattörerna som säger att kulturen behöver fler idealister, riktiga eldsjälar!… Men dagen efter så pratar man återigen om entreprenörer. Det är inte riktigt samma ord.

Supermarketgruppen är en bunt eldsjälar som har fler bollar i luften än konstmässan och jag vill tacka gruppen för allt jobb de lagt ner på Supermarket 2009.

Tack alla volontärer för att ni har hjälpt oss att bygga upp Sveriges största konstmässa!

Jag vill tacka Clarion Hotel Stock-holm och dess personal för sitt stöd och engagemang. Ni har varit med och lyft mässan till nästa nivå.

Till sist vill jag bara lägga till …nu när molnen hopar sig och vi väntar på dåliga tider… när utstickare ska mar-ginaliseras och en generaliserande kultur ska ta över: ”It takes all sorts to make a world.”

Pontus Raudkonstnär och projektledare för SUPERMARKET 2009

och att vi kan ta tillbaka spelutrym-met från gallerister och beslutsfat-tare inom kultursektorn. Man ska inte vara rädd för förändring men det kan vara bra att kunna sin historia. För mindre än tio år sedan fanns några få konstnärskollektiv som verkade i utkanten, idag dyker det ständigt upp nya sammanslutningar både i Sverige och internationellt. När det ”händer” händer det ofta i dessa nya konst-närsdrivna sammanhang. Plötsligt är vi konstnärer med och styr fokus! Några av dessa nya gallerier ser vi här på Supermarket.

I Sverige bubblar kulturen på alla fronter och enligt statistiska under-sökningar är vi störst i Europa på att konsumera och producera kultur. Min stora konstupplevelse 2008 var Candylands kväll på Moderna Mu-seet. De lyckades fixa en upplevelse utöver vanliga. Deras performance utifrån Max Ernsts utställning var en färgsprakande visuell upplevelse och visade att Moderna museet har för-

mågan att leva upp till att vara en levande plats för samtidskonst.

Konstnärsdrivna aktörer i Europa visar att det nu är konstnärerna som vill börja styra upp konstscenen och inte längre lydigt följa i galleristers och institutioners ledband. Ett led i detta är att skapa en starkare iden-titet och att skapa möten mellan alla de konstnärsinitiativ som finns i Eu-ropa. Vi ser Supermarket som ett av dessa möten.

Ett annat möte tog plats i Tyskland i oktober. Art Swap utspelade sig i Berlin och var ett öppet samtal mellan inbjudna konstnärsdrivna gallerier/organisationer från hela Europa. Studio 44 (Stockholm), Form-verk (Eskilstuna) och Unten Drunter (Malmö) var de svenska initiativ som åkte dit. Alla medverkar på Super-market 2009 och vill säkert berätta mer om vad som hände i Tyskland.

Till sist så vill ödet att Kulturutred-ningen släpps lagom till invignings-

Despite financial crisis and general depression over a lost economic boom, the time has come for a fourth inter-national fair for artist-run galleries and initiatives.

It’s a bit like Alice in Wonderland how the financial crisis has re-written the economic map in such a short time. In Sweden we have seen the minister of finance, like the White Rabbit, run from one tea party to the next scold-ing cautious bank directors.

In the wider world the Red Queen “Off with their heads!” Bush, has had to hand over the croquet mallet to the much less hot-tempered Obama. Like Alice in her blue dress, Obama gets to take on the thankless task of cleaning up the mess caused by Queen Bush.

In this story you might see contempo-rary art as the Cheshire Cat, chang-

ing shape time after time, but still remaining the mysterious, puzzling creature that everybody is trying to understand but nobody knows what it wants. Art has a way of living on, at the artists’ expense admittedly, but still we continue to build our aesthetic castles in the sky.

With their unpaid toil, the artists are art’s greatest sponsors and now the time has come for the fourth artist-run art fair in Stockholm. In a new suit admittedly, this time at the Clarion Hotel. A dramatic change from last year’s garage venue! From raw concrete floors to soft hotel furnishings. Supermarket’s capacity to change shape would have been appre-ciated not least by the Cheshire Cat himself.

In this changeable environment contemporary art operates with an

ed artist-run galleries/organisations from all over Europe. Studio 44 (Stockholm), Formverk (Eskilstuna) and Unten Drunt-er (Malmö) were the Swedish initiatives that went there. They are all taking part in Supermarket 2009 and will surely want to tell you more about what happened in Germany.

Finally fate has seen to it that the Culture Inquiry will be released just in time for the opening party of Supermarket 2009. As quiet as Eva Swartz and her secretary have been, one can only speculate on what is to come. A little has been leaked from their headquarters. Culture shall no longer be a door stop for commercial interests, and how this will change the classic artist’s role will be interesting to see. Gone is the loud-mouthed red wine communist with his/her hopeless idealism and in comes a non-smoking, easily accessible communicator who initiates production friendly projects.

I have listened to many debates and seminars, and participated in the “vision-ary meetings” that the state has hosted. In the end there is always a voice raised

among the debaters saying that culture needs more idealists, real enthusiasts!… but the next day they talk about entrepre-neurs again. It is not quite the same word.

The Supermarket team is a bunch of enthu-siasts who have lots more things on the go than just the art fair and I want to thank the group for all the work they have put into Supermarket 2009.

Thank you to all the volunteers, for helping us to build Sweden’s largest art fair!

I want to thank Clarion Hotel Stockholm and their staff for their support and commit-ment. You have helped lift the fair to the next level.

Finally I just want to add …now that the clouds are gathering and we expect bad times… when those that stand out are to be marginalised and a generalised culture is set to take over:“It takes all sorts to make a world.”

energy that vibrates and rushes between the walls, the sounds are different, but the pulse and the myriad chaos are the same. The wine may be more expensive this year, but on the other hand the chairs are softer and invite longer and more winding conver-sations.

Overall, 2008 has been a good year for the artist-run scene. It’s fantastic to watch it grow and become more influential. We artists have come to the classic insight that together we are strong, and that we can claim back the arena from gallerists and decision makers in the culture sector. One should not be afraid of change but it can be good to know one’s history. Less than ten years ago there were just a few artist collectives that operated on the outskirts, today new constellations appear constantly both in Sweden and internationally. When it “happens” it often happens in this artist-run context. Suddenly we artists are part of directing the focus! Some of these new galleries can be seen here at Supermarket. In Sweden culture is bubbling on all fronts

and according to statistical surveys we are the biggest consumers and producers of culture in Europe.

My greatest art experience of 2008 was Candyland’s evening at Moderna Museet. They succeeded in creating an experi-ence above the ordinary. Their perfor-mance based around Max Ernst’s exhibition was a colourful and visual experience and it showed that Moderna Museet has the capacity to live up to being a vital place for contemporary art.

Artist run initiatives in Europe prove that now the artists want to start sorting out the art scene and no longer obediently follow gallerists and institutions’ lead. One part of this is to create a stronger identity and to enable meetings between all the artist initiatives in Europe. We see Supermarket as one of these meetings.

Another meeting took place in Germany in October. Art Swap was held in Berlin and was an open conversation between invit-

Abandoned Gallery was created in 2007 by artists Emma Pilipon, Kristian Körner and Robert Moreau. In February 2008 Art historian/curator Anna Norberg joined the group.

The idea of the gallery is that the spectators sees and experience the current exhibition through a glass door. This means that the gallery space only can be entered during openings – hence the name Abandoned Gallery. Speakers are placed outside the gallery space which allows sound to be heard even though the glass door is closed.

In 2009 the concept has been developed further more, the focus is on video based art and events. Our idea is not complicated – Abandoned Gallery wants to create a relaxed atmosphere, a meeting place, for those interested in art and pop-culture.

ABC gallery opened in 2004 in Moscow. First there was the ABC (Art Business Consulting) group with three members. Office life was a main topic for our group. Later we decided to open a gallery and invite some artists of our generation with congenial souls. It was an idea of cross-fertilization, an artists’ trade union and an attempt to cover a wider sector of art life. New decorative elements and style, post-computer art, office and urban life are themes especially interesting to our practice. We have made shows every month in the last four years. Now it has been more than fifty. Our gallery is eight square meters plus a store room, but sometimes we invade the street, the roof and the common area of the staircase. We are located in the centre of Moscow opposite the Kremlin in the cultural centre Art-Strelka. The gallery collaborates with about fifteen artists. We make local and international shows and are in contact with artists from Germany, Israel, UK and Russia.

A unique artistic venue located in the centre of Jerusalem, Barbur, which means Swan in Hebrew, is a non-profit artist-run gallery devoted to artists and art that manifests an approach towards making and exhibiting art that is less professionalized, less marginalized and less dependent on existing hierarchies. Founded in 2005 Barbur has become an important part of the cultural fabric of Jerusalem. In addition to regular shows of the finest contemporary art in Israel Barbur also holds a variety of events including movie screenings, live music, lectures, poetry evenings and workshops, bringing together a variety of disciplines for the benefit of the heterogeneous community that congregates in and around the gallery. Barbur also collaborates with organizations that promote crucial issues in Israeli society to offer a vision of one possible future for Jerusalem, a city that embodies most of the challenges and hardships of living in Israel. It is a meeting point for artists and people who are interested in taking an active part in shaping Israeli society in the near future. It is our belief that people can and should have an influence on the society they live in and that artists in particular can and should have a strong and lasting influence on the world around them.

We refuse to give the ghost whatever it wants!

In the age of the first media, the idea of a “general public” who “wants” or has an opinion arose. The philosopher Sören Kirkegaard was one of those who, in early time, criticized this ghost that everybody nowadays wants to give whatever it “wants”.

What is happening when a mass medium develops? Concurrent with the first mass medium, the daily paper, something Kirkegaard called a Publicum, that not only should be translated to “an audience/the spectators”, arose.

The Publicum is the general public, the understood general view. Kirkegaard says: the Publicum is not the sum of all real living people’s opinions, not a people, not a generation, not an age in which we are living, not any certain people, but something else. He describes the Publicum as a phantom, an enormous abstraction, a delusion, an all-embracing “Something” that is Nothingness, a mirage. The Publicum is many people and contemporaneously no one.

Refuse to be a “general public”!

Centre for Visual Introspection (CIV) is an independent centre for research, artistic and theoretical production founded in Bucharest by Anca Benera, Arnold Estefan, Catalin Rulea and Alina Serban. The Centre is set up as a self-organizational platform and conceived as a laboratory for critical inquiry, which seeks to develop collaborative projects with a variety of partners, attempting to engage itself in a dynamic exchange with different local and international cultural producers. CIV strategy is to merge together knowledge production coming from political theory, art history and theory, design, architectural research and sound experiment, aiming to activate the cultural scene of Bucharest and to develop projects with direct social potential.Centre for Visual Introspection understands the notion of «introspection» as an open process through which specific aspects of contemporary social and cultural space can be questioned and re-framed. Through its different programs, CIV is interested to reevaluate the particular phenomena taken place in Romanian artistic production, reading it in the specific framework of Central and Eastern European social and political transformations.

CIV’s presence at Supermarket is kindly supported by Romanian Cultural Institute Stockholm, HP Romania and Romtelecom.

echo is an artist-run collaborative, based in Edinburgh, organising exhibitions in unusual locations and in-between spaces, with the aim to provide a stage for emerging artists and encourage new collaborations and exchanges. echo was set up by artists and co-curators Tonya McMullan and Paulina Sandberg a year ago. Since its launch echo has organised an exhibition with interventions in a hotel room, a film night showing artist films, a group exhibition with ten artists from Edinburgh and Glasgow in a large disused office building, and most recently a residence at the Edinburgh Collective Gallery.We have chosen not to have a gallery space and instead enjoy the freedom of non-traditional art spaces, as a way to promote experimentation and interventions. We are also working towards increasing international exchanges for Scotland, promoting emerging artists based in Scotland and building links with other art-spaces in Europe for future collaborations and exchanges.

Galleri 54 is an artist-run gallery in Gothenburg. Group 54, formed in 1954 as a reaction to the Gothenburg art climate that was considered confined and conservative, runs the gallery.The gallery has existed since 1959, and is run by a board consisting of 7-10 artists working in Gothenburg. The board members are replaced on a regular basis. Our primary task is to offer interesting and varied exhibitions showing local, national and international artists. Our aim is to offer artists a possibility to show their work and to formulate their ideas without the commercial pressure and influence.In addition to regular exhibitions, our programme includes Peepshow – a small window gallery outside by the street, Videoteket – a collection of video works accessible at the office in the gallery, and Andra Former - regularly evening events arranged as an alternative form of presenting and discussing contemporary art. We also mediate contacts and act to make artists working in Gothenburg more noticed nationally and abroad.During the autumn of 2008 we started up an educational program at the gallery focusing on both young people and adults.

“I det andra rummet”,exhibition at Hallwyl Museum 11.2–10.4 2009,photo: Kenneth Pils.

On the 11th of February, the exhibition “In the other room” opens at The Hallwyl Museum in Stockholm. 33 artists from FAS – Fiberartsweden, make an artistic revision of the collections at the museum. The museum is a preserved upper middle class home and frozen in time, it documents the everyday life in the beginning of the last century. The owner prepared his home for the general public, to be used as an ethnologic, artistic, social and economic object of study. www.hallwylskamuseet.nu

During Supermarket 2009 FAS is presenting the sketch works that preceded the exhibition. Short texts, notes, sketches and photographs and in the centre, the catalogue of the exhibition. Our aim is to throw light upon a course of events where two eras meet the artists’ first intention and by that create a dialogue within and together with the visitor.

Fiber Art Sweden, FAS, is a network with 38 artists whose platform is textile. Since the start in 1998 a series of activities have taken place, such as workshops, seminars, courses and exhibitions.

There is also the possibility of the partaking of non-associated artists. The space opened in Rosa Luxemburg Platz, Berlin in September 2008. The exhibition “More than Color” examines the position of color in visual art: how it can balance a piece, bring it to life, and even act as a structure to the imaged entity at hand.

Huuto is a Finnish word for “a shout”. It is also an artists’ collective with two gallery locations in Helsinki. It can be realised anywhere in a form of various events, projects and touring exhibitions.

Huuto was founded in November 2002 when a group of 25 young artists decided to establish their own exhibition space free of middlemen and hierarchical structures. Since then over 40 new members have joined the collective. Exhibitions are organised by members and non-members alike. Huuto is particularly aimed to be a forum for young and experimental art.

Huuto does not promote any specific school, style or concept of art. Commitments to manifestos are not expected from the members. Freedom and independence of individual artistic thinking are the core values according to which all conditions are arranged. On the other hand, to participate in Huuto requires an interest to collaborate with other artists, as many functions are maintained by voluntary work.

ID:I is an artist-run gallery where twenty-three members jointly rent the exhibition space and manage the activities. In addition to select open exhibition periods, each respective member is responsible for a three-week exhibition period every one and a half years.

Our exhibition agenda includes both solo shows of member artists and guest artists as well as various types of project exhibitions. Our member roster consists primarily of individual artists from Stockholm and Göteborg, but also artist-run galleries and projects.

ID:I does not apply for external financial support. Instead, it is the members themselves who finance the gallery. Individual members can, however, on their own behalf apply for financial aid for various purposes. Although the members themselves finance the gallery, they remain at the same time open to initiatives that can lead to broadening the Stockholm art scene.

Outdoor life is the first exhibition where all eight artists in Koncentrat bring their art together.The idea of Outdoor Life originates from the way people in general look upon nature. When asked why they live in this northern part of Sweden the most common answer is the nature and the variety of quality outdoor life. And what does it mean to us artists who are active in this region? Is this the reason we have chosen to live and work in Laponia? What are our thoughts about outdoor life and how does it affect us? Maybe the vicinity to nature is of importance.What do the words outdoor life really involve? We have chosen different approaches and show creations and interpretations from different techniques like embroidery, animation, painting and installations.

Koncentrat – Centre of Art in Kiruna, Sweden It all began with four artists who originate from Kiruna situated in northern Laponia, Sweden. We took the initiative to start a business cooperative in order to create a platform to work together, act upon and improve our business situation in our artistic careers. Our collaboration today has grown and we are now eight professional artists, all connected to this northern geographical area of Sweden: Agneta Andersson, Britta Marakatt-Labba, Lena Ylipää, Lena Stenberg, Anita Ylipää, Victoria Andersson, Anita Mikko and Anna Sofia Mååg.

Galleri Konstepidemin is an artist-run art scene which consists of several spaces with different characters. The main gallery shows contemporary art in a gallery space of 155 sqm. Two other rooms offer an atmosphere that calls for experimental and site specific artworks. Bergrummet, the Cave room, is a vault with stone walls and Pannrummet, the Boiler room, is a cellar room. We also have the outside area with a lot of possibilities for experimental art to grow. Important for the exhibition programme is diversity. Konstepidemin was established in 1987. In the beginning 1875–1886 it was an epidemic hospital area in the central of Gothenburg. A group of artists and architects formed the organisation with the goal to support and inflict the culture in the society. Today Konstepidemin has about 100 studios in 10 buildings, hosting 130 artists in different fields. In the area there is also a theatre, jazz club, and restaurant, spaces for rent and guest studios. We cooperate with Iaspis and Peja. Konstepidemin is a member of Res Artis and Trans Europe Halles.

The aim of Kultivator is to establish a meeting and working platform that especially consider issues around food production, farming, rural versus urban lifestyle, ecology and trade. To do this, Kultivator has a guest atelier/project room where artists and others can work, (apply with specific projects), a café/library and outdoor and indoor exhibition spaces. Next to these permanent features, Kultivator initiates and hosts work meetings, short workshops, exhibitions and screenings, at the location on Öland. Kultivator’s founders also work as an artist/farmer collective performing works for public spaces, art institutions or organisations outside Öland and Sweden. At Supermarket 2009, Kultivator shows works from the founders and we are also proud to present the innovative works of farmer Oloph Fritzen and the documents from inside food factories by Nick May, UK.

Laundry is an association of multi-disciplinary artists. We make art, projects and other stuff happen. What interests us is: the nature of collaborative work, how to utilise different styles of participatory practice, and developing international partnerships.

While we each have our individual interests and projects, we support each other in developing our artistic practice through experimentation, shared knowledge and experience. We join together, in different combinations, to develop common projects.

microwesten is a dynamic artists’ network. We try to connect spaces, cities and people. The basic idea is that artists can support each other to gain publicity. By inviting other artists we broaden our own views and create a comment on art production of our time.The core of the constellation microwesten consists of a fistful of artists. Over the years of the group’s existence, a dynamic artists’ organisation has developed, whose personnel changes slightly or intensively with every event. The thematic approaches of the exhibitions relate to each particular venue.Each exhibition is organised by the artists who are local residents. They use their contacts within the art scene in situ to expand the group temporarily by inviting other artists to take part in the show. The artists profit from the exchange of views and can get into discourse with each other. They may reflect the new influences and integrate them into the ongoing project.

Nest is a contemporary artist-initiative with a 300 sqm. exhibition space.It is part of the DCR, a building that also houses a theatre, experimental sound and dance studios, three guest studios and 36 studios for artists and designers. Each show at Nest focuses on a specific theme that is being investigated by local, national and international artists.Nest projects not only look at the artists and their work, but also the role of artists and their artwork within the social and functional context of society. A sub-program of Nest, called Nestarchy, looks for more experimental ways to deal with presentation and collaboration.

P/////AKT makes use of the specific size and characteristics of its exhibition space by initiating and producing large scale solo projects. Artists are given the freedom and (physical) space to work out their ideas and create something exceptional: an unusual collaboration, a new development or simply an experiment of which the outcome is still insecure. The programme is based on the unique language of visual art. From its own intrinsic value and history connections with “the here and now” are made.

Between Dark and White (a trilogy about Mental Space) at Supermarket Stockholm summarizes a project that was organized during the fall of 2008. Erica van Loon, Erik Olofsen and Anami Schrijvers were invited to subsequently create their mental space inside the physical space of P/////AKT. Each solo production was combined with small contributions – like footnotes – by the other two participants. As a whole the project, through shifting constellations and perspectives, probed the representation of mental space, on the edge of the internal experience and external mediation of reality.

Project Space 1646 is an artist-run space based in The Hague, The Netherlands. Born in 1994 as an independent podium for contemporary art, 1646 has been run by four practicing artists from Italy, Holland, Sweden and Spain for the last four years. 1646 supports the production, research and presentation of contemporary art, it also places younger generations of artists into an international network, promotes exchange, and brings the audience closer to the practice of art. Three of its most important issues are: experiment, process and intuition, with which 1646 wants to disconnect art from logic and strict contemporary terminologies. It wants to bring art back to being an experience and a direct form of communication.After a remarkable renovation of its space in 2007-2008, 1646 consolidated what has been a gradual growth of its organization on different levels. Firstly, 1646 achieved an extended regular international program of exhibitions, artist in residencies as well as a video program. Secondly, 1646 placed itself in a unique situation by offering artists a ‘museum-like’ exhibition space with the experimental qualities and dynamics of an artist-run-centre. At Supermarket in Stockholm 1646 presents a video installation by Dutch artist duo Alexandra Werlich & Matthijs Rensman.

Space Poetry was founded as a publishing firm in 1980.A feeling of being outside the “real art world” was some young artists’ stimulus to start publishing art books (first one published 1980) and the art magazine Pist Protta in 1981.They did not become famous or even well known but they continued, and they discovered that the art book and Pist Protta was a new space to show art, like a portable small gallery.Pist Protta changes the format every time a new issue is published. The typography, the binding, printing techniques etc. could also change.Until now Space Poetry has published 62 issues of Pist Protta, made by the three main editors: Jesper Fabricius, Åse Eg Jørgensen and Jesper Rasmussen.Space Poetry is better known now and has also published many different art books by different artists.

The Exhibition Space Spanien19C is a non-profit artist administrated space in Aarhus showing a high quality contemporary art. The space was established in 1998, and has 8 shows a year, presenting both Danish and international artists.Because of its location and interior The Exhibition Space Spanien 19C gives an atmosphere, which calls for experimental productions. The place is as such a catalyst for experimenting and space specific art, as well as performance and avant-garde sound and music productions, which has given the possibility to show new and challenging productions before they appear in the established art world.The exhibition space is a challenge, demanding the artist to identify him/herself with the space, to be new and contemporary, which also gives the possibility for experiments that would not happen in other places. With this in mind it is important for the Exhibition Space Spanien19C to work as an intermediary for experimental, space specific art, which cannot necessarily be reproduced and to give this form of art a place to unfold itself.Spanien 19C is not only an exhibition space; it is a platform to cultivate new thoughts, a place where subculture and the established art world can meet.Feel free to call.

Sprinkler is a space for and an activity through contemporary art, started in 2007 by the artist Bengt Olof Johansson. The ambition is to show art with a specific relation to the site. I.e. a former pigsty sharing the same barn as Näsby Café in the old village of Näsby, in a sparsely populated area economically based on farming and tourism, in a landscape of extreme natural and cultural features, on the island of Öland in the Baltic Sea. The gallery space has two connected rooms; one dedicated to the moving image and one for plastic works and meetings, in total approximately 60 sqm. In a critical and aesthetic way, Sprinkler wants to promote dialogues based on art as means to be precise in the understanding of the world we might share. Inviting locals and visitors equally.

Exhibited artists 2007-08: Tuija Lindström, Bo Melin, Magnus Bärtås, Oscar Guermouche and Conny Karlsson.

Studio 44 was founded in 2002 by a group of Stockholm-based artists with the aim of creating an independent, non-commercial space for contemporary art. The gallery first opened in 2003, funded by the Swedish Arts Grants Committee. “Kapsylen”, the building in central Stockholm where Studio 44 is located, is an economic association co-owned by the artists, musicians, architects, photographers and writers who are based there. Studio 44 shares a large space with CFF (Centre for photography). Studio 44 is a dynamic organisation, characterised by its openness to different forms of expression. We are around 30 visual artists who manage the space together and show our own work, as well as inviting other artists to participate in exhibitions, seminars and discussions. This process is organic and democratic, allowing for different approaches to exist side by side. We work together in focused groups to run all the different operations of the gallery, allowing all members a chance to be actively involved. In this sense Studio 44 can remain a democratic platform, profiting from the strengths of its individual members.

Looking to the future, we aim to develop our curatorial focus further and engage with a wider artistic community, both within Sweden and internationally. We believe that it is crucial to remain open to discussion and experiments.

Galleri Syster strives to be a meeting point for contemporary art in Luleå and Norrbotten in the north of Sweden. Our focus is to bring the local artists and the local art public closer to the national and international contemporary art scene. We live and work in a remote place and we find it essential to vitalise our art world with the new impressions we get from meeting and working with the artists we exhibit. Our small gallery space is challenging and inspires the artists to experiment with new ideas. We always combine our openings with an artist talk and a party!

TEGEN 2 – project place, scene and exhibition space spanning from art to political actions. Seeking the burning/turning point in the broader field of artistic expressions, the marginalized perspectives and the forgotten issues. By acting as artists, curators, coordinators, and political activists TEGEN 2 creates a multi field of cultural, social and conceptual complexity and confrontation.

Selected exhibitions: 2006 – “Pro Longing: Made in China”: mating songs from 108 living male crickets from China, images from Chinese factories Gunilla Sköld Feiler in cooperation with Lars Fredriksson. 2007 – “Colored areas”: David Reeb, an Israeli artist dealing with the Israel and Palestine conflict/complex. 2008 – “If I wasn’t muslim”: Damir Niksic, a Bosnian artist intervening in the repetitive European need to redefine its identity by purifying itself of non European elements. 2009 – “Screenings”: the Israeli artist Boaz Arad is another example of an intervention, but here in a specific Israeli context: In a national culture in which, as historian Moshe Zimmerman puts it: “representations of the Nazi genocide are required to conform to official memory: they are limited to depictions of a moment of victimization by absolute evil, within a mythifying and recuperative narrative movement from diaspora to nationhood, powerlessness to power” (Gene Ray: Terror and the sublime in art critical theory).

Artists’ Association Arte has its own artist-run gallery, Titanik, at the very heart of Turku, the oldest city of Finland. The gallery was established in 1988 to introduce contemporary art and to act as an alternative choice among local art-life. Since 2006 Arte has offered international new media artists 1–3 month long residencies in its Artist’s Residency, Sumu. Among international residencies Arte concentrates on Nordic co-operation by inviting to Sumu media artists from Nordic countries. In addition, Arte Association organizes many projects, workshops and events, not just in the gallery space but often outside in the city as well.

V8 Plattform für neue Kunst off-space gallery / artists’ co-operative gallery

The V8 Plattform was created at the end of 2004 by students of the Academy of Fine Arts Karlsruhe as an off-space gallery for contemporary art.Since 2005 the V8 Plattform has become one of the most attractive and constantly working off-space galleries for contemporary art in Southwest Germany. Up to now we have realized over 37 exhibitions, off-space art fairs (Berliner Kunstsalon 2005, Tease Art Fair Cologne 2007) and projects.

The V8 Plattform is managed by the resident artists themselves and completely independent. The show rooms are used as studios for the resident artists between the exhibitions. For the shows, the studios are quickly transformed into show rooms. The shows last 5 days respectively.

The ambition of the V8 Plattform has always been to present young and innovative art shows. Therefore we are running approximately 10 shows a year.

The project “Colouring the North” that we show at Supermarket was a result of an open call for drawings to make a contemporary colouring book.

The artist-run gallery Verkligheten is situated in an old tram-factory on the east side of Umeå, in between BildMuseet and the Art Academy. The gallery started in 2001 by 6 local artists as a way of increasing local artists’ influence on the Umeå art-scene. We felt that Umeå needed a space that was not so fixed and clean, a space for artistic experiments.

One strategy of ours is to mix local art with national and international, the un-established with the well known and to support the artists as much as possible, both economically and practically. We exhibit art that we are curious about, art that we want to see ourselves. We do not, however, exhibit our own work.

Verkligheten collaborates with galleries abroad and the different art institutions in Umeå and is a part of the Umeå Iaspis group. There is always one member on the committee that is a graduating student at the Art Academy. After finishing school he/she is offered a one-year employment at the gallery.

The act of suicide has a symbolic power like few other phenomena in our world. Not even death itself can compete with its spellbinding nimbus. Is it a gesture, a ritual or the logical end to a series of inevitable occurrences? Is it dependent on religious and cultural beliefs and traditions? Can it be something more than just the end?

In the first issue of 2009 Tema självmord Hjärnstorm takes a closer look at the act of suicide as a catalyst for myth building and production of meaning and as a starting point for philosophical and artistic considerations.

Beside our own activities we are also pleased to present Nordic Performance Art, a new organisation and network that federates more than 20 organisers of performance art events in the Nordic countries. During Supermarket it will proceed with its 2nd meeting since its constitution in october 2008 which was organised the days preceding Live Action 08.

Nordic Art Association, NKF, is an independent networking organisation for visual artists in the Nordic countries, with sections in each of them. We work to strengthen nordic art life and to contribute to a feeling of nordic kinship. We want to broaden the awareness of Nordic art and illuminate the artist’s conditions.

SUPERMARKET 2008 relocated to larger premises at the old industrial space Enskilda Galleriet. As part of a growing international trend of artist-run galleries, project spaces, artist collectives, independent curators and publications, it featured 35 exhibitors from Canada, Germany, Poland, USA, the UK, and, of course, Sweden and the neighbouring Nordic countries. SUPERMARKET Talks included panel discussions, video screenings and performance.

For the next year SUPERMARKET was offered an even larger venue, the Clarion Hotel Stockholm. SUPERMARKET has already grown past the concurrent art fair Market. Now that Art Sthlm, once the major art fair in Sweden has been cancelled, we are proud to announce that SUPERMARKET 2009 is the largest art fair in Sweden!

Nurope Turku Finland

Nomadic University of Art, Philosophy and Enterprise in Europe is a joint initiative by the European Cultural Parliament, Åbo Akademi University and Cittadellarte Fondazione Pistoletto in cooperation with other actors in Europe. During its two year existence the Nurope Nomadic University has travelled to different locations in Europe (Åbo,

Biella, Kassel, Ljubljana, Istanbul, Stockholm, Copenhagen). During intensive four-day sessions at each location the participants, comprised of artists, curators, scholars and entrepreneurs, have taken part in workshops, lectures, panel debates and art events. The aim of each session has been to interact with the local communities and local perspectives.

The Aim of NUROPE is: • to contribute to the cultivation of the complex formation of identities in a changing transnational Europe where art and culture function as resources both for growth and for identity constructions in open communities • to share experiences and develop creative models for education and research in social and cultural as well as economic entrepreneurship.

In February 2006, Minimarket, a precursor to SUPERMARKET was held at Konstnärshuset in reaction to the new commercial art fair, Market. The artist-run galleries in Stockholm got together and made a small-scale spontaneous art fair in an old changing room, using the small toilet and shower booths. It was at this point that the idea of a larger manifestation was born.

The following year, SUPERMARKET 2007 occupied the entire building at Konstnärshuset. 17 artist-run galleries from Norway, Denmark, Scotland, The Netherlands, France and Germany exhibited and turned it into an international art fair. SUPERMARKET Lounge with 25 participants was the precursor of SUPERMARKET Talks and the presentation booths. 2007 was also the first year of the SUPERMARKET catalogue.

The SUPERMARKET History

Bastard Gallery

Bastard Gallery is an artist-run, non-profit art space in Stockholm dedicated to the promotion of a cross-cultural concept of art. The initiators have a background in art schools, the commercial sphere and other cultural institutions. Since the start in 2006, the gallery has produced more than thirty exhibitions and events. Whether presenting site specific works, happenings or cross- and counter-cultural events, Bastard Gallery uses the gallery space as a communicative tool. Bastard wants to highlight and communicate our interest for perfor-mative acts and gestures. We see performance as an inherent and present aspect of contemporary society. Through creating different characters, or alter egos on the internet, in films, in front of us, it defines our own personalities in today’s social structures.

For 2009 Bastard Gallery is expanding, both as space and concept. In collaboration with the Berlin based museum32; a new project room and residency program for artists and musicians in Berlin, Bastard Museum, will open. The gallery will also start Bastard Academy, which is a mobile lecture- and workshop series. It will offer visitors to take part in discussions with international guest speakers, focusing on current issues related to contemporary art and cultural policies. www.bastardgallery.se

Art of TomorrowI Supermarket Talks är årets tema Framtidens konst. Vi kommer att belysa framtidens konst genom sam-tal och performativa konstupplev-elser. Hur kommer framtidens konst att se ut? Vi ska försöka svara på den intrikata frågan.Framtiden är intressant då vi rimligt-vis inte kan veta något om den, Det finns möjligtvis historiska och samtida tendenser som gör att vi kan förutse vad som kommer att hända men in-get är säkert. Ambitionen är att ändå försöka ta ett grepp om framtiden och frammana bilder och visioner om det ännu okända. Vi kanske till och med kan bestämma över framtiden och styra över det som ska komma.Om konstens ekonomi (som sam-manfaller med den globala ekonomi) förändras, hur kommer i sådana fall framtidens gallerier och konstmässor att se ut? Om förutsättningarna för handel med konst som vara försvin-ner, hur kommer det då att se ut?Supermarket Artfair är sprungen ur en lek med den idén. Projektet är ett nollsummespel som vänder sig till konstnärer och producenter på den konstnärsdrivna scenen som sällan

eller aldrig går med vinst. Det är det den inkluderande kvaliteten som är fundamentet inte den exkluderande. Konstnären, besökaren och utstäl-laren blir alla en del av verket. Ett förhållningssätt på den konstnärsdriv-na scenen är att arbeta med konst som har en större verkningsradie än den kommersiella eller institutionella. En konst som ligger bortom de kvalitets begrepp som vi vanligtvis rör oss med när vi tycker något om konst.Kanske kommer framtidens konst att vara av den sort att vi med dagens redskap och bedömningsskalor inte kan avgöra om det är konst vi möter? Vi får lära oss att möta konsten med hjälp av andra intellektuella redskap än de vi är vana vid, lite som att lära oss att uppfatta en fjärde dimension.I år samarbetar Supermarket Talks med Bastard Gallery med programmet. Vi har bjudit in konstnärer och kul-turproducenter med olika bakgrunder för samtal och handling. På program-met har vi samtal om konst, screen-ings och performance.

Dream Market – a shop of dreams Workshop for children aged 4–14.

Dream Market is a space where children can create some-thing of their own, during the art fair. They are invited to create a dream-product; packages containing anything from green peas to feelings or ideas.

Using recycled materials such as tins and boxes, we build a shop. It all grows into an installation.

The children also have the opportunity to make their own adverts on video and the videos will be shown in the space as a projection.

The idea of the workshop is to allow children to utilise their own impressions, but also to reflect on what con-temporary art can be, how it can inspire new thoughts, creations and ways of acting. Concept and realisation: Maria Saveland och Anna Selander.Collaborators: Lotta Döbling och Erik Sigerud. With support from Stockholms stads Kulturförvaltning.

Bildkonst Upphovsrätt i Sverige Sweden

Visiting / Postal address:BUSÅrstaängsvägen 5 B, 7 tr.SE-117 43 StockholmSweden

Web:www.bus.se Email:[email protected]

Tel:+46 (0) 8 545 533 98

Upphovsrätten är en tydlig och viktig byggsten i den process som medför att konstverk skapas och visas! Den ger bildkonstnären inflytande över resultatet av sitt eget arbete genom bestämmanderätt över hur, när, var och till vilka villkor konstverket skall visas. Konstnärens upphovsrätt kan liknas med en av/på funktion eller ja/nej möjlighet. Upphovsrättslagen garanterar därför konstnären självbestämmande över sitt eget arbetsresultat, hur verken används.

De som idag kritiserar upphovsrätten vill ofta att konstnären skall avsäga sig sin upphovsrätt.Det gynnar sällan konstnären utan oftast den som har eget intresse av att använda konstverk, oftast någon som inte vill betala för användningen. Om man avsäger sin upphovsrätt är den borta och effekten blir att man försvagar sin egen position på konstmarknaden. Samtidigt försvagar man även sina kollegors position genom att pressen på dem att avstå sin upphovs-rätt ökar.

Konkret fördelar BUS årligen ca 55 miljoner till svenska konstnärer och deras efterlevande ochca 5 miljoner till utländska med upphovsrätten som grundval. Om konstnärerna avsäger sin upphovsrätt försvinner också ersättningarna.

BUS är en förening bestående av ca 7 000 i Sverige verksamma konstnärer och efterlevande.Genom medlemskap i BUS får man ersättning när ens konstverk återges i tryck eller på webb, BUS betalar också ersättning för fotokopiering, utsändning i TV eller per kabel, ersättning när konstverk vidaresäljs och individuell visningsersättning (IV). Genom medlemskap i BUS blir det lättare för dem som vill använda konstverk att få relevanta tillstånd till etablerade tariffer och använda konsten rätt.

Det kostar inget att gå med i BUS, det ger ekonomiska fördelaroch det är en solidarisk handling. Om du inte redan är medlem, kontakta BUS och bli en!

BUS operates under the copyright legislation with the objective to ensure that creators of artworks receive remuneration when works are used in different media, i.e. press, commercials, TV, on postcards, in books, on the internet - in Sweden and abroad. BUS also helps to develop the legislation for the benefit of the visual creators.
