Part
the first of my favourite artworks at Frieze 2011. I know, it seems
like aeons ago but I wanted to post about it for a while. One way to
describe Frieze would be systematic bombardment of the senses through
the medium of Art in a white tent several kilometres long, with hordes
of enviably dressed personages parading themselves (if they are
important or famous) or meekly glancing over heads (if they are mere
mortals). The colossal space is a dazzling patchwork of galleries from
all over the world, showcasing artists from Magritte to Emin, from the
Chapman brothers to Ryan McGinley. It is nigh on impossible to see
everything, and to describe the variety of work on display, so I will
let the photos do the talking. Part the second to follow, if I ever get
to breathe again between preparing my own artwork for assessments,
university interviews, reading and suspending myself in a state of
nervous agitation to do with the aforementioned.

I love Cornelia Parker's work, I remember when I saw it for the first time at the Tate Modern (well, I'm pretty sure it was there) and thought it was fantastic. Good luck with the interview next week! You'll be fantastic (: xxx
ReplyDeleteFantastic exhibit! I wish I could stop by London to see it.

\wowww that's some seriously impressive linkage! Frieze looks brilliant - Glad you got to go! One of my best friends worked on the set up and now when I see photos of the fair all I can look out is the painfully constructed skirting board! haha
