KNIPSU, an experimental platform for contemporary art, shows the exhibition Seid at Supermarket. Seid comes from the Norse word seidr, a collective term for knowledge that today would be called magic and stems from religious practices in the Iron Age and Norse times in Nordic countries. The practice of seid can be compared to Sami shamanism, and enables the practitioner to see the past and future, and to be able to actively change fate. In the exhibition, the point of departure is that today artists enter this state where one looks into the future and tries to influence it through work, actions and perspectives. The exhibition has an apocalyptic worldview in a contemplative presentation of downfall as a process. Participating artists are Knipsu members and invited artists.
