Artists Darren Bader, Eduardo Basualdo, Eva Kotátková, Marie Lorenz, Koki Tanaka, and Naama Tsabar have conceived works for “Projects,” curated by Ceclia Alemani, which engage with the history of Randall’s Island, the site of the fair. While viewers can expect a consistent theme for “Projects,” “Sounds,” also curated by Alemani, will present three works, one by each Keren Cytter, Cally Spooner, and Hannah Weinberger, each of which will explore and utilize sound as a medium in a different way.

The Education program will provide workshops and tours for students from area public schools. Additionally, this year, Frieze has organized a workshop for high school students, which will offer them a comprehensive view of the contemporary art world from the artist’s studio to exhibition.

Frieze’s Talks program will be a daily occurrence and will cover a variety of issues pertinent to the contemporary arts from politics to filmmaking to writing. One such talk will be a conversation with Masha Alekhina and Nadya Tolokonnikova of Pussy Riot.
Frieze Art Fair runs from Friday, May 9, 2014 to Monday, May 12, 2014. See the fair website for hours and ticketing information.

2. Large NYC Galleries are still killing it, but smaller international galleries are holding their own by showing insightful and poetic work. (Which is often easier to ship and just as fun to look at.)

3. Liam Gillick and Carl Andre can look really sharp together.

4. Richard Aldrich is an artist that is highly unpredictable. We were pleasantly surprised by this quiet painting of forms meticulously adhered to canvas.

5. Jack Early knows that everyone likes a good Beatles joke.

6. James Nares’ road paint works really bring the heat, commanding attention with their bold contrast and recognizably durable materials.

7. Dan Colen’s work is often as fashionable as it is art historically clever.

8. We’ve always loved Linda Benglis’ panache, and her work for being beautiful – but didn’t see her sculpture as dangerous until some little kid crawled under her piece.

9. Imi Knoebel’s intimate paintings don’t get enough credit for their stunning use of color.

10. Tom Friedman’s work really summed it all up; fun, large, tempting, and ultimately impossible to fully digest. (Yeah, everyone else took this picture too, we know.)
