Flat Octopus is an international artist- and curator-run collective in Stockholm, Sweden, started in 2019. Focus on: apartment exhibitions, collaborations, local and international exchanges, and above all showing art we love that you need to see. At Supermarket 2024 we present a solo exhibition BLAST FROM THE PAST by the Swedish artist Cecilia Sterner. It lures you into a playful world where the ugly, raw, dark, sophisticated, and ludicrous meet – because the world is full of contradictions. Cecilia Sterner (b. 1967, Lund) is a visual artist based in Malmö working with installation and performance. She holds an MFA from Malmö Art Academy, Sweden, and studied at San Francisco Art Institute, USA. People’s shortcomings, delusions, and bewilderment at our failure to comprehend one another
