SLASK 3.0: FROSSA

SLASK returns to Parallel Collective Gallery for a third year: a four-week art calendar in the darkest weeks of December. The theme for 2026 is FROSSA. As a noun, the body’s response to cold or fever: shivering, goosebumps, chattering teeth. As a verb, to indulge without restraint, to enjoy without limit, to take more than you need.

Four weeks, four takeovers. Each week a different artist, group or collective takes over the gallery with an exhibition, a performance, a concert, a dinner, a market, or something that has no name yet. Monday to Wednesday is build-up and Thursday the vernissage; the gallery is open to the public Thursday to Sunday, and the week ends with take-down on Sunday evening.

The vernissages: Thursday 26 November (week 1, 23 to 29 November), Thursday 3 December (week 2, 30 November to 6 December), Thursday 10 December (week 3, 7 to 13 December) and Thursday 17 December (week 4, 14 to 20 December).

The participants are selected through an open call for artists, performers and collectives, in any medium and any form. Deadline: Monday 26 October 2026, 23:59. The call and the application form: parallelcollective.se/en/open-calls/slask-3-0-frossa
