SUPERMARKET 2016 – Stockholm Independent Art Fair

Showcasing artists’ initiatives and offering new opportunities for new networks in the Swedish and international art scene, Supermarket 2016 is opening its doors to visitors in Stockholm this week. Developed from Minimarket, the independent art fair has been held yearly since 2007. Over the past years, the project has evolved into the international fair it is today featuring exhibitors from more than 50 countries.

Makoda Linde at Kulturhuset

Explore the world of humour, satire and references to stories and myths. Mekode Linde is using the power of art to reveal social injustice and repression. The ambiguity and cultural appropriation appearing in his artistic approach makes his work stand out of other representations of black people and the history of slavery.

Life itself at Moderna Museet

The work exhibited was inspired by the unsatisfactory attempts of philosophies and occidental sciences to answer key questions of life. Now it’s time for art to give answering it a try. The multi-disciplinary exhibition is now on view at Moderna Museet.

Julia Hetta: Out of Context

Julia Hetta sees the world in a special way. You now have the chance to get an insight to the way the photographer sees the world. With her unique ways of making images and using light, Julia Hetta is changing the face of photography. It’s no surprise she has become one of the most appreciated photographers of our time.

Stephen Willats: THISWAY at Index Stockholm

This is the first major exhibition of conceptual artist Stephen Willats in Sweden. Building on his previous attempts of engaging with communities for his artworks, Stephen Willats has worked closely with Index on this newly commissioned project, developed in collaboration with a group of residents in Stockholm.
