Every year presents a set of challenges from minor to major when it comes to putting together a major art fair such as Supermarket. This edition had a prticularly unfortunate start as Iranian artists Ashkan Zahraei och Alireza Fatehieboroujenie from Electric Room were denied visas to enter Sweden just a few days prior to the opening – based on questionable arguments from the Swedish Embassy in Iran. What came to be more fortunate however is how the fair turned out, with an array of artist-run spaces, performances, seminars, curious visitors, casual meetings, new friends and state of the art, Art!        

With one last glimpse in the rearview mirror we would like to say thank you to visitors, artists, volunteers and all who contributed to making Supermarket 2018 happen.  See you next year!
