Super Fantasy Mercado I (2016)
The original SFM was held at Vikon Village in Garland, TX from November 12th – 27th, 2016.
Originally conceived by Dallas based artists Brent Ozaeta and Ha Mai, Super Fantasy Mercado comments on gentrification and consumerism. Amidst a dense maze of eclectic vendor stalls, Super Fantasy Mercado served as a fully functional art goods boutique carrying works by several artists and designers.
“Having the pop-up in this particular location was based on the idea of inserting our art into the everyday. We welcome the chance of having our art accessible to the weekend bargain seekers. The goal of this installation is to bring new visitors to a new environment.” – Brent Ozaeta
Vikon Village Flea Market is a weekend only flea market with 100+ indoor stalls selling new & used furniture, clothing, jewelry & more. Among the vendors at the bazaar you can find vintage clothing, used furniture, collectibles, antiques, and various ephemera treasures. Vikon Village Flea Market is located in Garland, Texas and is open year round. They have been in business for 33 years. It has often been said it was the place to be in the “80’s” and “90’s”, as far as flea markets go.
