SUPERMARKET – Stockholm Independent Art Fair 2023
DAS ESSZIMMER goes SUPERMARKET – Stockholm Independent Art Fair 2023 (Stockholm/SE) in a cooperation with the two Swiss exhibition spaces ”Redaktion” from Lucern/SUI and ”Scala Trun” in Trun/SUI under the motto ”Moving Mountains”.
where: Stadsgårdsterminalen, 116 45 Stockholm
Programme:
Professional Preview: Wednesday, May 10 2023, 6-12pm
Public Opening: Thursday, May 11, 2023, 6-8pm
opening hours: Friday – Saturday, 12am – 8pm / Sunday, 12am – 6pm
SUPERMARKT – Stockholm Independent Art Fair in Stockholm/SE is the oldest of the networking fairs for artist-run exhibition spaces.
Moving Mountains is the motto for the collaboration between the 3 artist-run exhibition spaces Redaktion/Lucern, Scala Trun/Trun and DAS ESSZIMMER for supermarket 2023.
Moving Mountains refers to the act of doing something so difficult that it seems impossible, but continuing against all odds and doing whatever it takes to still achieve the goal, spectacular results…or none. It refers to a mindset of dedication and perseverance. – Something that describes the life of artists and project spaces pretty well… How do we turn something worthless into something precious and vice versa? And does wealth create more wealth, or does it just become decadent and useless?

Gabriella Carlsson / SE
- Home-Sessions 1, 4.13min., with sound
- Home-Sessions 2, 3.20min., with sound
- Home-Sessions 3, 5:23min., with sound
The Home-Sessions were filmed between 1997-2008 but edited just recently in 2023.
In the low-fi Home-Sessions from the 13th floor, a woman´s house work is elevating. Under the influence of rock’n’roll it crosses over, gender-bends and rises to stardom with a volume previously unheard of.

- How a plant comes to plant, 2021, 2:57min.
If we are to survive the planetary-scale exhaus8on that seems to be the inevitable ends of the logic of the Anthropocene, humans need to find different ways of thinking in order to develop different ways of living.
Cecilia Casabona uses partocipatory performance methodologies to research ways of unlearning traditional logics of being human. How a Plant Comes to Plant is a film made in collaboration with a plant from Tanzania, given a Latin name by a German botanist, and now a mainstay in Dutch supermarkets. The film is a meditation on how contemporary humans have become illiterate to the agency of the natural world.

- Survival of an Artist, 2018, Full HD Video, 4‘17’’
Video in collaboration with Linus Weber; Audio in collaboration with Simon Sauerkraut, Alain Meyer, Beat: Thaibeats
Lysann sings about being an artist with all its (highs &) lows – Soft Depri Pop for Artists – Music heals all wounds. Lysann is (not) a fictional character. Lysann is characterized by elaborate video works, spatial installations, costumes and performative concerts, which are often developed in collaborative constellations. They are permeated with pop culture references, soft trendy colors and lots of emotions about life as an artist. The relationship with the audience is a central element of her work. In Lysann, different spaces overlap: the digital, the stage, the exhibition space – each with its own advantages, rules, mechanisms and economies. As Madonna said: “Music makes the bourgeoisie and the rebel”.

- Just like that, 2023, 6:07min
Can substance grow from oblivion? Just like that?
There is a rock, cold, sand and aridness;
Nothing at all but cold and dryness.
Then it gets warmer and the cold subsides;
Muck, mold and marl, then it turns to mud!
UV-rays illuminate this nasty sludge:
Methane, ammonia, carbon, hydrogen.
The same atoms: once mud, once man.
That`s hoe essence became – we know now.
The elements are the same throughout: Whether in fungi, humans, or trout.
Can substance grow from oblivion? Just like that?

…Mayr is a wizard when it comes to combining movement, sound and atmosphere. Video, sound and object can be so entwined that it gets very immersive by shifting our attention towards details, which we might have missed otherwise. His doctrine of movement and composition can be found in many pieces. Simple changes are part of the effortless transmutation of objects with which Mayr pushes the perception of his chosen materials; they move from being objects into spacial and sound aware pieces that form an alliance of function and dysfunction… (Textauszug Patrick C. Haas)
