Sydney Contemporary was conceived originally as a biennial art fair. At its third edition in 2017, however, founder Tim Etchells announced that the event would thereafter be staged annually. Aiming to attract more galleries from around the world, Etchells speculated that it was the right time to make the switch. There was therefore much expectation surrounding the 2018 edition of Sydney Contemporary, the preview of which kicked off on September 12 at the cavernous Carriageworks.
