Not too many city councils get into the nightclub business, and hardly any would have the sense of cool to organise Supermercat, a regular Saturday happening initiated by Barcelona City’s Institut de Cultura. Held in the versatile Mercat de les Flors theatre complex, the new ‘Supermarket’ is club culture with high-dosage multi-media injection. Art installations, theatre, comedy, film and experimental music share the three main spaces with DJs and dance ambience. With some important local art collectives involved, the line-ups look good. Other clubs are even protesting about unfair competition.
