Since January 2006, 4h-art has opened for a brief period once a month, to be precise every third Sunday of every month, between 2.00 pm and 6.00 pm - 4 hours of art in each and all of its multiplicities; from painting, graphics, objects, sculptures, collages, assemblies, via photography, photo collages, performance, through to moving pictures, video installations, and films. In the course of more than 130 exhibitions approximately 110 artist, half male and half female, from 22 countries have showed their work at 4h-art. 8

Al-Mahatta International Workshop 2012
Al-Mahatta Gallery is an artist-run, non-governmental, not-for-profit organisation based in Ramallah. The gallery was founded in July 2008 as an independent voluntary youth initiative and aims to create the first contemporary professional exhibition space for the visual arts in Ramallah. Al-Mahatta Gallery works through three main streams: 1. Securing open exhibition spaces for local and international artists, curators, and audiences; residency programmes, and the production of artworks. 2. Developing programmes and projects that target Palestinian artists and local audiences. 3. Hosting activities and events in cooperation with local and international institutes and individuals.

AllArtNow is considered to be the first independent collective space in Syria for visual arts, multimedia, and contemporary arts. Founded in 2005, the initiative aims to create greater opportunities for emerging Syrian artists, and to develop contemporary arts practices in Syria by establishing exchanges and ‘open windows’ with other countries. A neglected house in the old city of Damascus served as AllArtNow’s laboratory for art: it was a hub for emerging artistic practice and a meeting point for local and international artists to exchange ideas and form collaborations. In July 2012, AllArtNow began to work in different places in the world as a nomadic space, enabling its premises to open as a home for Syrian refugee families. AllArtNow has been selected to participate at many international events, and produced the first contemporary art festival in Damascus. To date, AllArtNow continues to successfully create opportunities for artists both in Syria and abroad.

Atelier de l’Observatoire (art and research) designs and disseminates projects conceived as tools to support Moroccan contemporary art nationally and internationally. It seeks to create the conditions for projects that are unsuited to current systems of artistic, academic, and cultural production in the region, and to flourish by bringing together artists, researchers and the general public. Atelier de l’Observatoire experiments with alternative approaches through education programmes (Madrassa), guidance for emerging artists (La Ruche), research programmes (The Invisibles), and participative art projects (Collective Museum, The Greenhouse, The Aquarium) in the public space, rural locations, and Casablanca’s outskirts. The proposed research contexts and circumstances take shape in the form of long-term projects that are in constant renewal. Atelier de l’Observatoire (art and research) was founded in 2012 by artist Mohamed Fariji and curator and researcher Léa Morin. 12

Madrassa Collective (madrassa means school in Arabic) consists of curators and art practitioners based in Africa and the Middle East. Envisioning exhibition making as a research and critical endeavour, Madrassa Collective aims at experimenting and investigating collective practices and transborder collaborations through exhibitions, research, and mapping exercises. For Supermarket 2017, Madrassa Collective presents Agora, which is conceived as a space that invites the audience to collectively rethink and rewrite the history of contemporary art. Agora aims at unveiling and questioning the complex negotiating processes and historical stereotypes that define and redefine cultural belonging and identity. It does so by criticising and reconceiving the way geographical and cultural representations are produced and reproduced in exhibitions, contemporary art discourses, and the multiple devices that consolidate and disseminate them. Members: Nadine Atallah, Nouha Ben Yedri, Victoria Dabdoub, Francesca Masoero, Rim Mejdi, Aude Christel Mgba, Léa Morin, and Marc Mouarkech

We support and introduce contemporary art from Bosnia and Herzegovina, with the aim to serve society for the common good. Gallery Brodac was established as the enthusiastic effort of several volunteers fighting against the socio-political and economic oppression, as well as addressing the growing indifference of the young. A group of young artists organised ‘working actions’ that refreshed and created designated art spaces to exhibit and share ideas. We began as a reaction to the unwillingness of the local government and other institutional bodies to acknowledge the increasing presence of the young artists. Our primary mission is to promote and enhance the contemporary art scene as a real contribution towards positive change. By raising different cultural themes we hope to improve the quality of life of the country’s citizens. Art is a necessary tool in fighting illiteracy. An artist represents all of those who work elsewhere, earning from the creative process and producing results for the common good. By creating opportunities for artists and audience to interact in a space, separate from unwanted political or social attention we aim to improve the standard of life of citizens. We also strive to de-marginalise culture and make our contemporary art scene bigger and stronger – as it deserves to be. Death to the silence; liberty to the people! 15

Our aspiration is to make Örebro an exciting and vibrant place for young artists to live. Apart from exhibitions and studio space Bunkern has organised art festivals, workshops, curatorial projects, and one-off events and happenings. At Supermarket 2017, Bunkern will show works by Tobias Bradford from Örebro, Tobias is one of the artist that has shown at Bunkern this past year. He now lives in England where he is studying for his BA in fine arts at Goldsmiths University of London.

Candyland Stockholm, Sweden Candyland, Gotlandsgatan 76, 116 38 Stockholm, Sweden +46 703365862, galleri@candyland.se, www.candyland.se
Carlos No’s sculpture evokes the idea of a shanty town as a place unsuitable for habitation – a cluster of improvised and fragile dwellings, with no infrastructures or basic sanitation – as well as a place where people live in a kind of ‘forced intimacy’, in other words, with an absence of privacy.
Candyland’s dynamic programme is the result of each of the founding members being free to invite any artist without the consent of the group. United by their common interest in promoting a wide variety of contemporary art they have produced more than 140 exhibitions since 2004. For their exhibitions at Supermarket the Candylandians make collective decisions and this year they invite Carlos No (PT) and Rikke Benborg (DK). Carlos No is a Portuguese artist whose work portrays critical concern in relation to disrespect for human rights, primarily in situations of unfairness, absence of freedom, exploitation, and abuse of power. He uses images, texts, and objects, in a continuous game of oppositional meanings where he analyses concepts such as power, justice, exclusion, and identity, by means of irony and as expositive weapons for his points of view. Rikke Benborg is a Danish artist working mainly with film and video. In her most recent works she has been exploring themes of desire and identity, repression and anxiety – focusing on female hysteria and the body as a performative stage, where the hidden, unknown, or repressed is acted out. 17

We are mostly interested in breaking the rules of a conventional artspace. At Supermarket 2017, we will present a range of performances, interruptions, and parades.

A catalogue is published to accompany each exhibition. Club Solo acts as a host for foreign artist-run initiatives under the name of Hotel Solo. They present their own programme and thus provide insights into their process and founding principles.

Detroit Stockholm is an artist-run collective that provides a open platform for artists from various disciplines. From nomadic performance art festivals, music and art happenings, to various multimedia exhibitions we provide a platform and project space for international guest artists as well as our own members. For Supermarket 2017, we are proud to present ‘One & Three’, an installation by resident member: Emer Ní Chíobháin. This installation looks at the theory of body-as-property within the context of networked culture. Through the use of 3D scanning tools, the artist creates images and data sets that are in turn edited and re‑worked. In this process the physical is rendered into data and back to material again. Through the portrayal of fragmented bodies, the artist depersonalises, de-subjectifies, and thus dehumanises the body and its constituent parts: the body becomes abstract, unknown, impersonal, losing all semblance of the self. 22

What are the ways artists and designers use publishing as a form of communication? What are strategies for working fluidly between digital and analogue to produce published works in a contemporary context? A team from Gothenburg’s Grafik i Väst and Stockholm’s Grafiska Sällskapet printmaking galleries, in collaboration with students from Swedish printmaking education and Claire Hannicq (our Strasbourgbased Artist in Residence at the fair), will engage in artistic production of magazines, books, posters, and other ephemera. The booth will include various tools of production such as a risograph machine with five colors, a laser printer, and letterpress resources to print in-situ. Grafik i Väst and Grafik Sällskapet members will participate in the activities, and Supermarket 2017 visitors are also welcome to participate! 26

HilbertRaum is an independent, non-commercial, artist-run project space. It opened in January 2015 in the middle of Reuterkiez in Berlin-Neukölln.

To us, it means a simple and clear framework that allows an open, undetermined, and evolving exhibitions programme. For Supermarket 2017, we are presenting members Kuno Ebert(DE), Niina Lehtonen-Braun(FI), Tobias Sternberg(SE), Daniel Wiesenfeld(DE/US) and Clemens Wilhelm(DE). 30

Linda Karlsson, ‘Bird and Fur in Space’, exhibition at ID:I Galleri in 2013
Live Publication ID:I gallery’s latest publication celebrates our recent years of artistic activity. As both collective and individual artists, we have been engaged with the Swedish art scene since the gallery launched in 2003. ID:I gallery is an artist-run non-profit organisation, and for the last nine years members have been running the gallery voluntarily. Members decide their own exhibition time and are free to make a solo exhibition, or invite other artists or projects of interest. The gallery puts on about nine exhibitions every year. We usually have around twenty‑five members; all are professional artists. New members are accepted on recommendation from a current member or the board. ID:I gallery gives the artist maximum freedom for experimental and cross border projects, without consideration of commercial viability. We contribute to the diversity of Stockholm’s artscene through our unique combination of professionalism and volunteer effort. ID:I is continuously seeking experimental collaborations at an international level and with artists from outside of the gallery membership. For Supermarket 2017, we are showing the extracts and fragments of the recent shows and performance events from the publication in a live form. 32

Roman Osminkin, ‘Pushkin will pay’, performance, photo: Marina Maraeva
To work together effectively as a society we need to trust ... even a stranger. That’s why we started Intimnoe mesto. Intimnoe mesto (which means ‘intimate place’ and ‘intimate part’ in Russian) is a place for attentive and careful collective use. Intimnoe mesto presents crude works of art. We think that crude art is alluring. Sometimes it’s unbearable to come out with a new idea to your comrades, and at such a moment you feel fragile. We value fragility and respect the alluring. By ‘crude’ we mean ‘juicy’, and justify it as significant. Intimnoe mesto is a place for your exhibition – and for anything. This is in exchange for helping with upcoming events, or even having helped with previous events. Welcome on board! 33

‘Unknown Soldiers’, poster, concept by curator Ville Laaksonen
Kallio Kunsthalle is a pocket of art in the heart of Kallio, Helsinki. In its imagination, it is the size of a museum. In its reality, it is smaller than an average gallery. In 2017 Kallio Kunsthalle has an experimental programme that is organised by a group of six emerging curators from Finland and Russia. The programme of twelve shows includes transcontinental, exchange, and collaborative exhibition productions. At Supermarket 2017, our booth will be a collaboration with the international curator organisation QiPO that works on four continents. The group presentation, which takes the form of collaborations between Finnish and international artists, is curated by Ville Laaksonen who works with both Kallio Kunsthalle and QiPO. Something new, in an unexpected way. Still a nut in a nutshell. 34

Kunstverein Familie Montez is an official art association/artspace/collective that exhibits contemporary independent art based in Frankfurt am Main. Founded in 2007 by Mirek Macke and Anja Czioska at the Städelhofes, the Lola Montez has had at times a nomadic existence, but was always a fixture of the Frankfurt off-space scene. Now, and since 2014, it resides under the Honsellbrücke, in two newly renovated arches of the bridge, directly on the River Main and Osthafen. Kunstverein Familie Montez organises group and solo shows, talks, performances, film screenings, summer schools and music events. In 2016 the Kunstverein Familie Montez was one of the off-space venues for the Luminale festival of light, and later that year the Kunstverein Familie Montez space was chosen by Annie Leibovitz as one of the ten stops in her global tour of the women’s portraits. “The Lola Montez, from the beginning, was always more than a showroom: a mythically charged independent site of the city, which acted as a collective excess, adventure and experience for an entire generation. The work of art was always the Lola Montez itself, and we were its artists.” Markus Farr, spokesman for the Schirn Kunsthalle Frankfurt 36

Köttinspektionen is a non-commercial artist-run art space in Uppsala. The building was originally a meat inspection agency, designed in the 1930s, with high ceilings and an industrial character. It was built on the edge of town, at the border between the countryside and the city. Over the years, Uppsala has expanded and the area has become one of the largest parts of city – Industristaden. Köttinspektionen is now a well‑placed venue for new cultural activities that energise not just the city but the whole region. Since May 2014, Köttinspektionen has been home to several art forms including dance, theater, and visual art – which is curated by the artist group Haka. Köttinspektionen is aiming to be a production and presentation venue, where artists and creators can work in an innovative, experimental spirit. Haka contributes with exciting contemporary art – both national and international – and creates space for new ideas. This year Köttinspektionen presents works that deal with questions about being a member of a group and looks at how the interaction between the members and the artspace takes place.

Medrar sets the stage for artists seeking to have extensive conversations and collaborations with their peers, and to develop their purpose as active contemporary artists, thus creating a more dynamic and inspired movement. By tapping into this existing collective intelligence, Medrar encourages cooperation over competition among artists – locally and internationally – as well as between institutions, critics, and technologists. It also engages with experiments in this rich playground of media arts. This non-profit collective, running since 2005, achieves this through hosting festivals, workshops and events to stimulate the scene, providing a collaborative space for media artists, and documenting and disseminating audio-visual content on the contemporary art movement in Egypt.

It features new and old marked-down works from the art provocateurs’ co-labs, exclusively available at previously unheard of prices.

Mnky Bizz Group is a far-flung team of anonymous artists and cultural activists committed to shaking up the status quo in today’s brave new art world. Our work serves as a catalyst for debate about the complicated relationship between art and commerce, with the goal to create new connections between the two. 43

Ginta Vasermane, ‘Supportive Structures’, video installation, 2015
Moving Art Initiative F.L.O.A.T. is an Amsterdam based artists’ platform that makes exhibitions which travel from place to place. We are moved by the desire to share, shift, and show the less-well-known and rarely seen works of upcoming to mid-career artists; to discover, contextualise, and electrify the confines of audiovisual art. Our goal is to shed light on valuable works that remain outside of the mainstream and make them resonate with situations in the real world. At Supermarket 2017, we will present the 3-channel video installation ‘Supportive Structures’ by Ginta Vasermane. What convinces us in her artistic approach is the precision of her mis-en-scene together with the poetic aspect of her work – playfulness and thoughtfulness with human forms and their absurdities. 45

The Museum of Forgetting is an independent curatorial project based in Norrköping, Sweden that has been active since 2007. Run by Erik Berggren and Kosta Economou it has developed projects and exhibitions that examine issues of, politics, war, Arabian cartoon art, and most recently migration. Our working method includes experimental exhibitions to develop the theme, and collaborating with artists and audiences to work towards full exhibitions. The Gold project, previously shown at Art-Athina and featured in Swedish publication ‘Ord & Bild’ deals with discourses of value and crisis as well as the exploitation of humans and environments. Together with Oscar Lara (PE/SE), Klitsa Antoniou (CY) and Yioulla Hadzigeorgiou (CY/GR) we continue this investigation at Supermarket 2017.

Nationalgalleriet got it all! Exciting fist fights, horror, politics, satire, sex (including nude scenes), magic, psychology, violence, slapstick, special effects, and yes, art. This year’s show is inspired by surface tension: the elastic tendency of fluids to acquire the least surface area possible. Either you take a little walk on the water – or a big dip, beneath the water line, beneath the skin. Ups and downs, ins and outs, ons and offs. We offer you the ultimate trip. Nationalgalleriet is run by an artistic collective based on non-commercial principles. The gallery does not have any specific artistic or ideological programme – but likes art with an attitude. It is best known for its satiric group shows where absurdity is mixed with social comment. The solo shows are varied from highbrow to subversive underground. 48

We opened in 2011 to address a gap in the ecology of project spaces in the city – to support emergent practices and to provide the opportunity to develop challenging and experimental work. The three pillars of our programme are artistic ambition, professional development, and public engagement. Our core question is: how can we better support artists? For Supermarket 2017, we present a solo booth by Belfast-based artist Ursula Burke.

Mónica Heller, ‘From the cosmic order to the cosmetic order’, video animation 3D single channel, 8:55min, 2016
An artist-run space based in Buenos Aires, Piedras (launched 2014) was initially conceived as a laboratory space. During that year each event’s planning began with an invitation to fifteen emerging artists who were able to use the space to study alternative art techniques, preparatory works, experimental formats, and mixed media presentations. In 2015 the project moved to a new space on the fourth floor of an old building, designed by architect Mario Palanti, on Rivadavia Avenue in the Balvanera neighbourhood. This new environment encourages a new dynamic: the space has four different rooms and each artist works specifically in relation to the context that the chosen room offers. Piedras works as a dialogue and exchange channel, collaborating with different initiatives from diverse disciplines by managing workshops, art shows, parties, and residencies. Visual artists, writers, musicians, and djs generate understandings and misunderstandings, and it is the result of these that is always celebrated with a party. 50

Plattform Ankaret (Platform Anchor) is a newly established meeting place for culture in downtown Visby. It is run by the studio association Ankaret (The Anchor). For two years the studio building and the yard outside have been a dynamic symbol for the renewal of the culture scene on the island of Gotland with exchanges between art, performance, film, music, and poetry. In the project ‘The Sausage Can’t Wait’, the sausage will be both a serious and a humorous symbol for the state of society today. Important questions that Plattform Ankaret are pursuing in a local context, which will be ingredients in our presentation, concern commercialism, the threat that gentrification makes against artists, and the hegemony of entrepreneurship. In the frame of the theme Intimacy our project focuses on the relation between artists and the surrounding society.

III: one who goes where we do not wish her to go. IV: a tree, a mountain, an ocean. where is the highest point? nature, how could I tell you so you would understand? Fill in * V: The house in Philipovskaya: tramped around and made a map of the remains of agriculture. Pavel had dug by the northwest corner. VI: Yuri Gagarin made the first flight in outer space on the rocket Vostok 1. VII: and there are four beds. they all have blankets sort of like bedspreads. A green one with a white stripe. One is more red-checkered. * RAKETA runs interdisciplinary art projects, locally and globally since 2000. RAKETA acts as a multiple originator. 52

‘Performing Labour’ at Reijmyre Glasbruk, photo: Jasphy Yiran Zheng
Through Rejmyre Art Lab we are exploring a particular formulation of site-dependent knowledge. Our sites, Rejmyre, Sweden and the Reijmyre glassworks, and the participants in our programmes, are inextricable from the knowledge they produce and thus what is produced here/there, in this factory town, is not for export. This left us with a challenge in terms of coming to an art fair to ‘share’ this work. As droned procedures and automatisation proliferate the future role of our human bodies, the need for their capacity to physically labour, is increasingly called into question. ‘Performing Labour’ is a long‑term, multi-layered artistic research project that investigates the state of the contemporary labouring body (human and other-than-human) as well as the conditions and philosophies of labour in post-industrial society. 55

Galleri Rostrum, ‘RISK – breaking boundaries’, 2017, photo: Helga Steppan
‘RISK – breaking boundaries’ In every artistic movement, in every step of the artistic process, risk is present – present in order for us to move. Still we do not know where we are going, but without risk it is impossible to move – at all. A risk is a possibility of loss, but also a chance of meeting the unknown and the intimacy of closer honesty. It is a process where ‘loss’ and ‘gain’ are present at the same time – the vulnerability is a chance. In this project, the participating artists work with the theme of ‘risk taking/intimacy’ in their own individual and different artistic practises. We are all breaking a boundary in order to achieve something unpredictable. Rostrum is an artist-run non-profit gallery situated in Malmö, Sweden and was founded 1985. 56

Diogo da Cruz, ‘15 meters of me’, 3-channel Super 8 installation, 2014, photo: Michael Reinhardt Roundabout collective, ‘ARTYPOLY’, proposal sketch, 2017 Roundabout collective, ‘meeting’, 2015
Roundabout is a collective of artists seeking to create and present work in a shared space. The collective has mainly been focusing on a space in Munich where many exhibitions, discussions, critical meetings, and performances have taken place. The meetings of this international artists’ group is an intersection of distinct ideals and opinions, interrupted by ‘lost in translation’ issues that feed the universality and absurdity of the discussions. For Supermarket 2017, Roundabout is developing ARTYPOLY, a game that critically portrays the problems for an international emerging-artist. By conducting the player into some frustrating and superficial challenges, the collective will create a satire of the both precarious and conformist current state of the international art scene. 57

Sant Marc has become a centre of thoughts, ideas, and research in the field of art, for contemporary artists who either live here or have spent some time on the island – hence the importance of the exchanges that it has sparked off through experiences, reflections, and proposals all of which have gradually defined the studio’s goal. Our projects are inspired by specific real physical contexts or backgrounds. Always promoting the translocal connections, Sant Marc has space for residencies and exhibitions.

Project space Sodų 4 is run by the artist community from Lithuanian Interdisciplinary Artists’ Association (LTMKS). It fills the gap between curated and artist-organised shows in Vilnius. Sodų 4 invites curators and artists from LTMKS and elsewhere, for collaborations. It also aims to allocate a significant part of its programme to international artists. Sometimes Sodų 4 transforms itself into a performance space, or a workshop space, or a space for some other unexpected action. The ideology and local independent initiatives of LTMKS are represented by its member artists Kęstutis Šapoka and Benigna Kasparavičiūtė. Their critical practice and its institutional context interact with their eclectic artistic work, and vice versa. 60

Stroboskop Art Space is an exhibition space located in a row of old car garages attached to the housing at 6 Siewierska Street. Stroboskop is a uniquely experimental space established to blend and promote various and polarised artistic attitudes and creativity. It is intended to pose an alternative to the Warsaw and Polish art scene. We support ambitious and unusual artistic endeavors and actively expand by building bridges with similar ventures, both locally and internationally. Though our main goal is to focus on young and emerging artists, we do not exclude cooperation with those whose careers are more established. As we do not avoid radical experiments, our ‘off-space’ fills the gap existing in the art scene dominated by the policies of powerful public institutions and private galleries. 61

The working process is organic and democratic, allowing different approaches to exist side by side. This year at Supermarket 2017, in acknowledgement of the theme ‘Intimacy’, we have curated a staged living room environment: ‘A room of our own’ where we have included various artworks from members of Studio 44 alongside our own private belongings. Thereby we are presenting ourselves as artists whilst simultaneously opening up the dialogue around the private/public realm that the artist inhabits. 62

We will perform the exhibition ‘Curatorial Tongues’ – a daily changing event. From early morning and until midday we will put up a show about the show. Exhibit our discussions, disagreements, excitement and fears as it happens. Pause. And welcome you to the opening. Again. When afternoon comes, we will slowly take down the show, making the booth ready for the following day. Repaint the walls and go home. Tonenton comes from the German word for clay (ton), and refers to both color and musical tones. It is a way for us to encompass sound, sculpture, and painting in one word – inspired by the Danish artist Signe Boe. For the last six months we have made a small tower in Carlsberg, our headquarters. There the exhibitions changed every two weeks. 65

Underground Space Station is an immersive subterranean sculpture located in rural Ontario, Canada. It is an ongoing collaborative effort between Charlie Murray and Thomas Van der Zaag which has been under construction since 2009. Assembled from salvaged industrial-sized cylindrical containers, a series of eight interconnected modules have been submerged in the earth. Each module functions to accommodate various aspects of subterranean existence. Probe II is a subsidiary module dispatched from the Underground Space Station to Stockholm, Sweden delivering data pertaining to its subterranean counterpart in Canada. Probes are submerged into the earth where a viewing window allows for an observer to experience its sensorial data. Probe I is currently suspended in the earth in Redickville Ontario, Canada. 67

Va* is an independent art space and residency in the city of Isfahan, Iran, founded in the winter of 2014. With no physical space Va defines itself through events – it moves around different artists’ studios, private basements, galleries, and other artist-run spaces. Va also utilises technology to bend spaces and juxtapose different locations via Skype with talks and lectures. The Va residencies host national and international artists, critics, and writers who engage with the local community. The show at Supermarket 2017 is by Va, and is about Va Space’s experience the previous year at Supermarket 2016. * The Persian word ‘va’ is similar to ‘and’ in English – a word that enables an infinite number of words, concepts, or thoughts to be joined together. 68

In the ongoing project ‘The Beast & the Eye of the Cyclone’ Signe Johannessen has been studying humankind’s abuse of nature. By bringing together scientific, literary, and personal references, the production discusses the ocean, power structures, and humankind’s need to act violently against nature. Through film, sculpture, and other media, the artist takes a starting point in whaling, something that comes from her family’s history in northern Norway. During the project the artist has been doing workshops with whalers, researching archives, and diving and swimming parts of the migration route of the whales. At Supermarket 2017, she is showing the film ‘Hic sunt Dracones’, the sculpture ‘Bone wars’, and a publication. 69

We are delighted to present the second year of our Professional Networking Participants (PNP) programme, launched for the first time in 2016. The aim of the PNP is to provide a designated meeting place for Swedish and international art professionals in order to expand their networks beyond the limitations of an exhibition space. PNPs do not take part as exhibitors but they receive special programme of talks and presentations, get invited to the Meetings programme, Exhibitor gatherings, the Exhibitors and Staff Party, and have access to the Exhibitors’ Lounge upstairs.
