Canal at Supermarket 2007

At Konstnärshuset, Stockholm

Friday 23rd February 2007, 3-6pm

Money changes everything: the impact of commerce on the artist-run space

This discussion is set up to question and respond to the backdrop of Supermarket, a fair for artist-run spaces. Is the artist-run space a route into the commercial arena? What alternative can the artist-run space propose to the power structures of the art world? Does commercial activity compromise criticality? Such issues will be debated with people involved in artist-led initiatives mainly established in Scandinavian countries. Confronting contexts and exchanging viewpoints rather than falling into a debate about the funding situation is the aim of this event.
