16.20 PERFORMANCE
THE DOOR WAS RIGHT HERE
Jasmine Albuquerque Croissant (US)
Presented by Björkö Konstnod
Developed at the Los Angeles Wildfire Survivors Residency (LAWS) at BKN, this work was instigated by a personal video of the initial discovery of the artist’s family home destroyed in the Woolsey Fire of 2018. As a survivor of this kind of loss, Albuquerque Croissant experienced the earth swallowing everything she owned. She speaks of wanting to be swallowed as well, and from this symbolic action a catharsis evolves on stage. Combining themes of motherhood, birth, death and rebirth, this work explores the power of nature to absorb and transmute loss.
Duration: 12 min. Location: Talks & Performance Stage

THURSDAY OFFSTAGE

14.00 PERFORMANCE
Fertile Stones: A Granular Exchange
Theo Hynan-Ratcliffe (IE)
Presented by Spacecraft
The booth is activated by performance; the artist will sit and make a series of clay sculptures and brooches. Viewers are invited to join in the process. An intimate space of exchange is created through shared rituals of storytelling and making. This performance creates a bloom of new offerings, secrets told and held in the object’s body. Participants are invited to leave their objects as an offering or bring them as a physical memory of the exchange. The objects formed act as a residue of time spent together, stories exchanged and an archive of material engagement.
Duration: 2–3 h. Location: Spacecraft booth

16.30 PERFORMANCE
Stuck, An Excavation
Niamh Brown, Daniel Tuomey (IE)
Presented by Ormston House
Stuck, An Excavation is a performance by Daniel Tuomey activating the Ormston House booth. The performance overlays the legacies of Georgian-era architecture and the English language in Ireland: colonial inheritances disintegrated and recomposed by time and social forces, now forming the defining conditions of Irish urban life. In the performance Tuomey plays the wandering voice of a tragicomic alter ego, trying and failing to narrate how he got stuck in the chimney of an inherited colonial house. He will move through the booth, uncovering and reading texts hidden behind and within artworks. Through these readings he is possessed in turn by ancestors, folkloric figures, imagined interlocutors, strands of his voice straining to account for how they came to be stuck in this dusty throat. The work touches on the erasure of Irish oral traditions, the obscure origins of the petit-bourgeoisie, and the tangled self-image of a postcolonial nation thrust onto the neoliberal global stage.
Duration: 20 min. Location: Ormston House booth

17.00 and 18.00 PERFORMANCE
Lustre
Sanna Söderholm (SE)
Lustre is a solo performance that explores the radiant interplay between body and material. Draped in glittering and reflective textures, the performer transforms the stage into a living breathing gala of shine and spectacle. This is not just a dance – this is a kinaesthetic sculpture of light and motion. Lustre invites you to witness a metamorphosis – where the body becomes both the dancer and the decoration, the subject and the spectacle. A celebration of presence, surface and sensation.
Duration: 15 min. Location: Near the Café

18.00 PERFORMANCE
Exposed
Maja Massier (PL)
The Great Gala is transformed into an intimate ritual of rest. I enter the public space dressed as if for a gala, with full makeup and a red carpet carried in my hands. At first, my presence suggests celebration, visibility and prestige. Gradually, however, the action shifts. I begin to unfold the red carpet, move it from place to place, test different locations, and search for the ‘right’ spot, as if preparing a stage – yet the preparation slowly becomes a bedtime routine. I start removing my makeup in the open space, allowing the glamorous appearance to dissolve. Wearing pajamas underneath, I transition from a public, performative body into a private, vulnerable one. The red carpet ceases to function as a symbol of success and instead becomes a substitute for a bed, a blanket and a shelter. I wrap myself in it, make myself comfortable and eventually lie down. The performance ends when I fall asleep.
Duration: 15 min. Location: Offstage / All around the venue (starting point at the entrance)

18.30 PERFORMANCE
Make Me
Diva Collective (PL)
As an artistic collective, we attempt to carry out a long-term performance titled Make Me, intended to take place in various spaces and environments. It consists of marking out an area on the ground with silver tape where two people stand motionless, dressed in white underwear, looking directly into each other’s eyes. Between them there is a small table with lipsticks in different colors. The audience is invited inside and informed that the performance ends when they leave the marked space. Due to the lack of further action from the artists, the performance unfolds differently each time, making every piece in the series unique. The title highlights both meanings of ‘make me’: as in ‘create me’ and ‘force me’ – referring, among other things, to crossing boundaries and the effects of crowd behavior.
Duration: 40 min. Location: Offstage / Near the Café

18.30 PERFORMANCE
Minnesfanfar för en röst
Ana Maria Almada De Àlvarez (SE)
Presented by Ateljé Bredgrind
1) I present a black board to the audience. On it I write a phrase in the form of a musical score related to a personal experience. 2) I put on a mask to mark the transformation of the event from individual to collective. 3) I use breathing, voice and objects to repeat the text with variations, thus making the voice central to the work. When the sound of the voice is integrated into the surroundings, the ritual of transformation is complete.
Duration: 10 min. Location: Ateljé Bredgrind booth

19.00 PERFORMANCE
Virtual Poster
Laze Tripkov (MK)
Presented by Altán Klamovka
In an immersive, performative environment the Glagolitic alphabet (one of Europe’s earliest writing systems) is released from its static, graphic form and re-imagined as a constellation of spatial, moving entities responding to movement, presence and gaze. Instead of a fixed graphic object, the poster becomes a live event, a shifting interface of meaning co-created by the audience. Visitors move through a 360° field of symbols, activating layers of memory, identity, and digital embodiment. The performance becomes a ritual of encounter between the human body and digital matter, where meaning is not given but emerges through interaction.
Duration: 30 min. Location: Altán Klamovka booth

FRIDAY 24 APRIL

14.30 PERFORMANCE
Unnamed
Nadia Ostrycharczyk and Natalia Pietrulewicz (PL)
Presented by Diva Collective
Our performance is one from the series where we use ambient, repetitiveness, organic-made sound and its real-time distortion as our medium. The soundscape we build is made of seemingly displeasing sound, but through the use of its recurrence it is transformed into more meditative, contemplative state.The highly engaging sounds such as cutlery against porcelain can cause outrage for one viewer, whereas for others its unchanging melody and rhythm feels relaxing. The theme of our performance series is to engage the audience and get their raw reactions and feelings by using sound and its distortion.
Duration: 15 min. Location: Talks & Performance Stage

15.00 PERFORMANCE
ECOLOGIES OF RESIDUE (Posthuman Housekeeping)
Laine Ionas (FI)
I realise a partially participatory performance based on a Fluxus-inspired event score, which engages with processes of becoming sensitive and practices of encounter. I perform alongside a range of objects, robots, the spatial setting, the (im)material bodies inhabiting it, as well as environments and situations.
Duration: 30 min. Location: Talks & Performance Stage

16.00 TALK
The TRYST Project and Making Museums Work for Us
Max Presneill and Jorin Bossen (US)
Presented by Durden and Ray
A round-table discussion, led by Jorin Bossen (Durden and Ray, Los Angeles) and Max Presneill (Torrance Art Museum), about TRYST (a Los Angeles-based international art fair for alternative spaces, run by the Torrance Art Museum). The discussion will ask participants what a healthy working relationship with art institutions should look like in the future. We will address aspects that artists would like to see in future editions of TRYST and how we can support their actions in trying to make the art fair form more aligned to their needs and whether there are better models to allow these spaces to interact, network and expand their reach.
Duration: 45 min. Location: Talks & Performance Stage

17.00 PERFORMANCE
Trivia and War
Staffan Westerlund (SE)
Presented by Galleri Lokomotiv 
With the aid of a tape recorder, an enveloping four-channel soundscape, and seemingly banal props, Staffan Westerlund steps into the room with his body, his voice, and his instrument. In an intense interplay between the subdued and the transformative, he explores our capacity – or our incapacity – to care for the very smallest things as the most world-shattering forces press in.
Duration: 30 min. Location: Talks & Performance Stage

18.00 TALK
How Not to Go Crazy as an Artist
Natalia Pietrulewicz (PL)
Presented by Diva Collective
Being an artist is often portrayed as freeing, joyful, and meaningful. It rarely gets described as overwhelming, exposing or exhausting. Yet for many of us, it may be exactly that. I have worked as a psychotherapist since 2017 and have spent hundreds of hours in my own therapy and self-development work. I believed this would prepare me well for most life challenges. What I did not anticipate were the psychological challenges of an artistic path. In this talk, I combine my professional background as a psychotherapist with my lived experience as an artist. I will share what I have personally tested on myself and what evidence-based psychotherapy and psychological research tell us about coping with what may pose common psychological challenges in artistic life. This is not a motivational talk. Instead, it is a grounded, honest, and practical reflection on how to stay well while pursuing your calling. Hopefully, with a little bit of humor. I’ll focus on a couple of potentially problematic themes in artistic lives (such as shame and self-criticism or emotional exposure) and offer my audience some practical takeaways.
Duration: 30 min. Location: Talks & Performance Stage

19.00 MUSIC PERFORMANCE
A Girl is a Car is a Robot
Nukleopatra (UK)
Presented by Blackwater Polytechnic
Art-pop singer and producer Nukleopatra delivers a soundtrack for the impending singularity.

Duration: 2–3 h. Location: Spacecraft booth

14.30 PERFORMANCE / INSTALLATION
Building Blocks
Natalia Pietrulewicz (PL)
Presented by Diva Collective
The performance is based on a simple, repetitive gesture: building a tower from wooden blocks. The structure is assembled, observed collapsing (potentially by someone), rebuilt, left unattended, returned to, assembled, observed collapsing, and rebuilt – over and over again. Visitors are not instructed in any way, yet they are free to approach, alter, dismantle, rebuild or ignore the structure. Regardless of what happens (through gravity or actions of others) I continue building and rebuilding, maintaining full focus on the blocks and not interacting with the audience. The performance focuses on perseverance, and the ability to sustain attention under unpredictable conditions. Rooted in childhood play, it invites us to reflect on everyday situations in which our ‘towers’ collapse and we must decide whether to rebuild them. The tower becomes a reflection of our fragile yet resilient being, shaped by perseverance, repetition, absence, and unpredictable social interaction
Duration: All day. Location: Near the Café

14.30 PERFORMANCE
Borders Unlimited
Ekaterina Sisfontes (SE)
Presented by Björkö Konstnod
Borders Unlimited is a spontaneous performative intervention organised by Borderless Borders, a temporary collective initiated by Ekaterina Sisfontes. Visitors encounter an unexpected border checkpoint inside the exhibition, where improvised guards demand documents, ask absurd questions, and control access to an ever shifting ‘state’. Each crossing reveals a new country with new laws, symbols, and power structures. Guards may change roles, recruit spectators, accept bribes, abandon their posts, or invent arbitrary rules. Passage is granted or denied without logic or equality, exposing the instability, theatricality, and fundamental meaninglessness of national borders and the systems that uphold them.
Duration: All day. Location: Offstage / All around the venue

18.00 PERFORMANCE
Utan snus
Sanne Lovén Rolén (SE)
Presented by Konsthallen ABC
Leif GW Persson, Swedish criminologist and crime writer, widely known from television, is drifting around in an inflatable rubber boat and eventually ends up on a deserted island. Once on the island, he begins unloading things from his boat. There is a lot of stuff, but no snus. He decides to set off in search of some snus and ends up in a cow pasture. Without success, he tries to lure some snus from the cows. The question is: how far is GW willing to go to get something to tuck under his lip?

Going to Elections – What’s at Stake?
Konstnärernas Riksorganisation, Sara Edström (SE)
In September 2026, Sweden will hold a general election. To highlight issues of vital importance to artists, The Artists’ Association of Sweden (Konstnärernas Riksorganisation) is launching an election campaign presenting a number of culture policy proposals to decision-makers.

Beyond Hegemonies: Methods for Self-organisation in South America and Spain
Fosforita Madrid (ES), Casa Belgrado (AR) and Galería Metropolitana (CL)
Moderated by Leo Santiago Ramirez Iderström (SE)
A Spanish-speaking forum that brings together independent spaces from Argentina, Chile and Spain to reflect on the conditions of artistic practices across South America and Iberia. The conversation will explore artistic self-organisation, funding systems, and questions of independence: independent from what, and for what purpose? It will also discuss the infrastructures and methodologies for working beyond the Eurocentric logics, and how these positions might shape visibility and collaboration.
Duration: 45 min. Location: Talks & Performance Stage

15.00 PANEL TALK
Ecosystems of Independent Art
Elham Khattab (EG), Nour Shamma (PS) and Mercedes Lozano (AR)
Moderated by Abir Boukhari (SE/SY)
Independent art initiatives often emerge from a shared need to create space for experimentation, dialogue and collective work. Initiated by artists and curators themselves, these platforms grow into ecosystems that support artistic practice through collaboration, exchange, and community. The conversation brings together three artist-curators, each of whom has established a platform that supports artists and fosters networks of collaboration and exchange within their communities.
The participants are: Elham Khattab (Out of the Circle, Cairo, Egypt), Nour Shamma (Al-Studio TBC, Ramallah, Palestine) and Mercedes Lozano (Híbrida Laboratorio, Buenos Aires, Argentina). The talk is moderated by curator Abir Boukhari (AllArtNow, Sweden / Syria).
The artist-curators are invited in collaboration with Iaspis – International Programme for Visual and Applied Arts.
Duration: 45 min. Location: Talks & Performance Stage

16.00 PERFORMANCE
Clown Horn
Sally Plowman and Cailin Cummins (UK)
Presented by Blackwater Polytechnic
Sally Plowman and Cailin Cummins return to SUPERMARKET with a new performance that pushes their clown-duo practice into an even more unruly territory, staging a fragile world built from misused props, collapsing routines and stubbornly hopeful gestures. Drawing on their shared interest in looping, failure and the awkwardness of everyday social roles, the pair lead audiences through a sequence of derailed ceremonies and almost-functional systems, where objects refuse to behave, and the performers keep trying anyway. The show sits somewhere between slapstick, sculpture and live drawing, inviting viewers to sit with the tension between care and chaos as scenes teeter on the edge of breakdown, then reassemble into something unexpectedly tender.
Duration: 20 min. Location: Talks & Performance Stage

The Door Was Right Here: Addressing Old Wounds In New Work
Jasmine Albuquerque Croissant, Wren Petrichor Ossman, Rick Gradone, Susannah Mills (US)
Presented by Björkö Konstnod
Collaborators Jasmine Albuquerque Croissant (performer), Wren Petrichor Ossman and Rick Gradone (sound and video) screen their new video work The Door Was Right Here from the Los Angeles Wildfire Survivors Residency at BKN. LAWS curator Susannah Mills leads a discussion around the process of making this work and its relationship to trauma and healing. Topics will include spontaneity vs. planning, setting the stage for authentic expression, and the tension between documentation of an experience and the experience itself.

18.00 PANEL TALK
What the Hell Just Happened?
Ben Coode-Adams (UK) and Blackwater Polytechnic
Presented by Blackwater Polytechnic
The Blackwater Polytechnic poses a question that truly suits our times: What the hell just happened? In a year that has felt like a decade, artists and collectives have watched the ground shift beneath their feet – socially, politically, and environmentally. The assumptions we carried into Supermarket 2025 already seem antique, like artefacts from another reality. From Blackwater’s corner of coastal Essex, we have seen how making, organising and imagining have evolved in response: collaboration has become survival; improvisation, a way of thinking. This talk will trace those changes – how our ideas, communities, and art practices have been recalibrated by the shockwaves of a world still reconfiguring itself. Tell us about your experience and share strategies for resilience, organisationally and personally.
Duration: 45 min. Location: Talks & Performance Stage

Bending Pillars
Simone Schuffelen (NL)
Presented by De ljkast
Schuffelen will be presenting a new iteration of the performance Bending Pillars which she first presented at 187-nights Artspace in 2025 (Rotterdam, NL) In this performance she will be a pillar creating a new pillar from found materials in Stockholm. The performance plays with the visual tradition of the pillar, both as an architectural element and a carrier of symbolic meanings – historically, politically and socially. A grounded object built from resources out of their surroundings. Strong but shapeshifting over time.
Duration: 20 min. Location: Talks & Performance Stage

SATURDAY OFFSTAGE

14.00 PERFORMANCE
Encyclopedia of Lost Libraries
Natasha Dahnberg (SE) and Ekaterina Sisfontes (SE)
Presented by Björkö Konstnod
In a participatory performative reading, memory takes shape through the voice. From scrolls unfold fragments of encyclopedic entries about libraries and archives that have been deliberately destroyed during wars and revolutions – places where knowledge, culture, and ideology were once gathered. The scroll itself is also an art object: made of veneer and covered with silverpoint drawings. The texts move between languages and voices as the audience is invited to continue reading in the languages they carry with them. The performance becomes a temporary archive where what someone once tried to erase is recalled through the collective act of reading.
Duration: 40–60 min. Location: Björkö Konstnod booth

16.00 TALK
Post Party Blues
Huuto Artists (FI)
Post Party Blues – the feelings and perceptions one might have after the party has ended. Was it worth it and how did it happen? We will discuss new ways of working, new friends, melancholia and how to continue the day after.
Duration: 1 h. Location: Galleria Huuto booth

18.00 PERFORMANCE
Dancer on the Plane
Dancer Laressa Dickey (US/SE) in collaboration with Ivana Gross (US/AR)
Presented by Björkö Konstnod
Dancer on the Plane explores the geometry between body, nature, and technology. Born in 2025 from an exchange at BKN between dancer Laressa Dickey and conceptual artist Ivana Gross, the work begins with a dancer standing on a plane as a cuboid is drawn. Geometry becomes choreography; structure becomes lived experience. The cuboid – shape, system, metaphor – embraces spaces such as architecture, digital grids, or social systems. The dancer tests its limits, embodying lines through breath and resistance. Wrapped, framed, and observed, her body confronts containment. Against technological abstraction, the human body emerges as a fragile, sensing threshold that cannot be fully calculated or controlled.
Duration: 30–60 min. Location: Björkö Konstnod booth

SUNDAY 26 APRIL

12.00 PERFORMANCE
Bias Protocol
Michal Poustka (CZ)
Presented by Altán Klamovka
Bias Protocol is a radical intervention that deconstructs the myth of objective truth by manifesting the friction between the human self and the algorithmic entities that shape our digital perception. The intervention questions perception in the post-factual era. Looking at reality through a mobile phone screen – a tool that shapes our view of the world and ourselves – the artist navigates a conflict where objective truth becomes a myth. Proximity evokes an unstable dialogue between cold data and hysteria. The performance directly draws the audience into the action, provoking them to puncture their own bias bubbles so that their immediate reactions serve as fuel for the artist’s inner dialogue with the digital entities on stage.
Duration: 15–40 min. Location: Talks & Performance Stage

13.00 PERFORMANCE
Scandalous Affairs
Juliane Maria Hoffman (DE) and Tina Macha (SE)
The performance Scandalous Affairs invites visitors to take part in guided meditations held in front of selected artworks. Masked guides, carrying an anonymous and spiritual presence, lead participants away from sensory overload and habitual patterns of perception toward the experience of a deep, sensual encounter. At the centre lies a return to one’s own self, located always in relation to the Other: reducing stress, allowing silence, uncovering inner clarity, activating the senses, and receiving the external world consciously and in a focused way. The artworks are not explained but sensed. Perception sharpens. What is hidden comes to the surface. Relationships between the work and the viewer are newly formed. The method aims at a radical slowing-down, an arrival in the present moment, an expansion of one’s sensitivity, and a deliberate shifting of one’s gaze.
Duration: 30 min. Location: Starting point at Talks & Performance Stage / All around the venue

14.00 TALK
Why We Cannot Afford Not to Do Participatory Art
Natalia Pietrulewicz (PL)
Presented by Diva Collective
Participatory art challenges the idea of art as something produced solely by artists and consumed by an exclusive audience. Instead, it treats art as a shared process, shaped through presence, interaction, and both collective and individual experience. This talk argues that in today’s world we cannot keep art exclusive and isolated: for the benefit of both artists and society. Drawing on selected artistic practices and through a psychological lens, I explore participatory art as a way to reopen art to inclusion and lived experience. Rather than offering fixed answers, the talk invites reflection on how participatory art can restore art’s relevance and agency.

Ana Grebler, JP Galvão and Duda Afonso (BR)
CIVITAS – Cities in Motion is a research-based independent curatorial project that explores the relationship between contemporary curatorship, urban contexts, and mobility, focusing on how cities shape artistic practices and independent art ecosystems. The project brings together curators Duda Affonso, JP Galvão and Ana Grebler forming a collaborative constellation that reflects diverse professional experiences to share its conceptual framework and ongoing research on curatorship and its relation with the cities. The expected results include the strengthening of international professional networks, critical exchange with the Stockholm art scene, and the development of future collaborations between independent art initiatives. Followed by a Q&A session.

Sandra Mozard / SOUNDi & KYLAMi (SE)
Light Poem is a multidisciplinary art project performed for the last two decades. It blends drawing and projected animated lights with elements of theatre, music, dance, text, photography, printmaking, sculpture and costume. Mozard’s organic view of improvisation is used both as a creative tool and performance strategy. The piece stretches between composition and spontaneity, characterised by moving perceptions, interaction with room and context, and exploration of themes such as vulnerability, identity, and the human experience.

12.30 PERFORMANCE
INTER-VESSELS: HUMAN & POST: HUMAN SPECIES; The Body as Ecological & Biographical Artefact
Rocky Meaney (IE)
INTER-VESSELS is a merging of the ‘human’ and ‘post: human’ species, seeking to bring about a resolution of these two concepts through performative methodologies. I present the ecological minerals of Rhubarb, or ‘Weedy Species’, as a raw material in its natural state, ready for cooking and bathing in, to construct new species in solid and transformed liquefied states.

In this context, I present my body as the ecological and biographical artefact. Working through acts of care and imagination, embodying entangled practices of solidarity, survival, and resistance, in the human and post: human world. The performance brings ‘more than human’ acts of political imaginaries and possibilities of other futures, beyond the human.

El Banquete
Fosforita Madrid (ES)
At SUPERMARKET 2026, Fosforita presents El Banquete, a project reflecting on celebration at the edge of collapse. Drawing on literary and historical references to feast and crisis, the work stages a transformation from order to excess. The installation unfolds as a living still life, developed through performance and video, where abundance, residue and renewal coexist. Surrounding the central installation, contemporary still lives by Fosforita’s residents extend the banquet into a collective gesture, reflecting on impermanence, excess and the persistence of life.
Duration: 15 min. Location: Fosforita Madrid booth

Thursday–Saturday, during opening hours PARTICIPATORY PERFORMANCE
Participatory Live Drawing: A Fleeting Encounter Becomes a Connection
OhOn (KR)
Inspired by the Korean proverb ‘Even the brush of sleeves is a connection,’ this participatory live drawing explores the value of fleeting encounters.
One wall of the booth is covered with hanji, where the artist begins with lines that expand through audience participation. Visitors cut out shapes that represent themselves or objects meaningful to them, then extend the drawing by layering lines.
As shapes and colors overlap, an unpredictable composition emerges, visualising the coincidental relationships formed within the space. The work gradually grows during the course of the fair and is completed on the final day.
Duration: Less than 5 minutes per session. Location: OhOn booth
