This year’s Frieze New York takes place at Randall’s Island Park in May 5-8, with 202 participating galleries from 31 countries. 303, Jack Shainman, Matthew Marks, Marianne Goodman, Gagosian, Paul Kasmin, Perrotin, Regen, Pace and David Zwirner are some of the highlights of the main section. Two Chinese galleries in the Frame section for emerging galleries, Leo Xu Projects and Antenna Space, are worthy of attention.
In the Spotlight section it is possible to see solo projects by a variety of artists including François Morellet, Nancy Holt, Sergio Camargo. On the other hand, Focus hosts galleries like Isabelle van den Eynde, Night Gallery and Supportico Lopez with their curated projects.
The Projects section of the fair that always offers a rich program is curated by Cecilia Alemani; in this section where performance art and sculpture will have dominance, the art-life intersections, unexpected environmental interventions will be creating humorous situations. Moreover, Maurizio Cattelan is expected to “surprise” the visitors with an “irreverent” intervention.
The talks on collectorship at Frieze Talks are particularly interesting. Taking place at 2 pm every day, during these talks museums, foundations and individual collectors will tell their own stories and discuss their approaches to collecting.
The fair also presents a debut project, the Reading Room program. In this room where talks will be held with the participation of art writers, editors and publishers, you may examine and buy an outstanding selection of art publications. Again debuting this year, Frieze Week magazine will be informing the fair visitors about the participating galleries, other exhibitions in New York and insider tips.
On this page we will continue covering the freshest news from Frieze, other concurrent exhibitions and special events. Stay tuned!
