Modern Fuel travels to Sweden in February for the SUPERMARKET Art Fair at the Kulturhuset in the centre of Stockholm. SUPERMARKET is a showcase for artists’ initiatives from all over the world that creates opportunities for new networks in the Swedish and international art scenes. The last exhibition presented more than 70 artist-run galleries and similar initiatives from 25 countries. In addition to the exhibition, the event includes a seminar programme, a performance art stage and a meeting programme for networking.
