For this year's Supermarket, Stockholm's Independent Art Fair, Billytown will present ‘Animal Farm x Billytown’, George Orwell’s literature illustrated by each Billytown artist with their own interpretation. Inspired by the ‘Billytown says Haaaaayy!!’ presentation, installed directly in front of the Dutch Parliament in The Hague’s city centre last year, the book includes the paper made out of the hay from the presentation. Using ‘Animal Farm’ as a conceptual framework, the project examines the internal dynamics of an artist-run initiative, emphasising self-organisation, collective effort, and shared ideals within a wider cultural setting. The book launch will be accompanied by a mural presentation and artworks from the publication.

The project is organised by Billytown artists Nishiko, Robbert Pauwels, Shana de Villiers, and Alexander Webber, and is supported by the Mondriaan Fund and Stroom Den Haag.

Open: Thursday–Friday 14.00–20.00 Saturday 12.00–20.00 Sunday 12.00–18.00
