Frieze Art Fair

Regent's Park, London

The Directors of Frieze Art Fair, Amanda Sharp and Matthew Slotover, have announced today the details of the 2010 fair. Frieze Art Fair is one of the world’s most influential contemporary art fairs and every year brings an international focus to the dynamic contemporary art scene in London. Sponsored by Deutsche Bank for the seventh consecutive year, Frieze Art Fair 2010 is a carefully selected presentation of the most forward-thinking galleries from around the globe.

The selected galleries will present outstanding work by over 1,000 of the world’s most innovative artists and these will be presented alongside Frieze Art Fair’s unique curatorial programme Frieze Projects. Frieze Art Fair helps set the international contemporary art agenda. 2010 will see more galleries than ever at Frieze Art Fair, with a total of 173 exhibitors.

The dynamism of galleries from emerging territories such as Asia and South America is balanced by a strong European and American contingent. Galleries new to the main section of the fair include: Bortolami, New York (USA); Pilar Corrias, London (UK); Elizabeth Dee, New York (USA); Xavier Hufkens, Brussels (Belgium); Michael Lett, Auckland (New Zealand).

The successful introduction of Frame, dedicated to galleries under six years old showing solo artist presentations, sees its return in 2010. Notable presentations this year include: the first European showing of Brazilian sculptor Carlos Bevilacqua at Simon Preston Gallery, New York; artist duo Daniel Keller and Nik Kosmas (Aids-3d) at Gentili Apri, Berlin and Naeem Mohaiemen at Experimenter, Kolkata. The galleries exhibiting in Frame are selected on the basis of an artist’s solo presentation. Frame is one of the key places to see artists for the first time and on a significant platform. The Frame galleries’ selection has been advised by curators Daniel Baumann and Cecilia Alemani. Frame is supported by Cos for the first time this year.

Co-directors Amanda Sharp and Matthew Slotover commented, ‘Against a backdrop of improved financial stability, we are delighted that Frieze Art Fair 2010 received more gallery applications than ever. The gallery list is a strong one.

We would like to thank our main sponsor Deutsche Bank for their continued support, associate sponsor Cartier, and the Financial Times, our new media partner, for their contribution to the promotion and development of contemporary art.’

Details of the annual curatorial programme Frieze Projects, Frieze Talks, Frieze Film and Frieze Education will be announced during the coming months. The recipient of The Cartier Award will be announced on 13 May.

In previous years Frieze Projects, which is presented in association with Cartier, has presented new commissions by artists including Richard Prince, Ryan Gander, Paola Pivi and Mike Nelson. Frieze Talks has included keynotes by John Baldessari, Yoko Ono, Dave Hickey and Roni Horn. This year, Frieze Projects is curated by Sarah McCrory under the auspices of Frieze Foundation.

Frieze Education, which is presented in association with Deutsche Bank, has grown to be of great importance to the young adults and children visiting the fair, serving to familiarise them with the best in contemporary art, design and culture. Building on last year’s successful partnership with the Royal College of Art, Frieze Education will run a scheduled programme of events for schools local to the fair and drop-in events for families.

Pierre de Weck, Member of the Group Executive Committee and Global Head of Private Wealth Management, Deutsche Bank added: ‘We are delighted to continue to support Frieze Art Fair as it establishes itself as a major international event for the art world. We share the organisers' interest in emerging art from around the world and are thrilled to see an ever increasing diversity of works at the Fair.’

The Outset/Frieze Art Fair Fund to benefit the Tate Collection continues in 2010, the eighth consecutive year of the collaboration. This unique partnership enables Tate to buy important works of art for the nation at Frieze Art Fair. The fund to date has raised over £900,000 and, as a result, 78 works by 51 significant international artists have been added to Tate’s collection since 2003.

New Curator for Frieze Art Fair 2010

London-based Sarah McCrory has today been announced as the new Curator of Frieze Projects, the unique programme of artists’ commissions which takes place annually as part of Frieze Art Fair. McCrory takes up the post with immediate effect. McCrory has previously worked in not-for-profit and commercial galleries. Most recently she ran South London’s Studio Voltaire together with fellow curator Joe Scotland and established its reputation as a leading cutting-edge exhibition space. McCrory will continue to work with the gallery as Curator at Large.

Twenty-nine international galleries took part in 2009.

McCrory takes over the role of Curator, Frieze Projects from Neville Wakefield who was Curator from 2006–2009. Wakefield continues his portfolio career, including his position as Senior Curator for P.S.1 in New York.

She has a reputation for supporting and showcasing emerging artists who then make their name internationally. She is dynamic, brilliantly informed and connected and full of the kind of energy and fun we need for our unique curatorial programme.’ Sarah McCrory added, ‘I am delighted to take up the position of Curator, Frieze Projects at a time when the programme is not only an integral and highly anticipated element of Frieze Art Fair, but also in its own right is an important commissioning opportunity allowing artists of all levels to develop ambitious projects.’ Sarah McCrory will work alongside Sorrel Hershberg Project Manager, Frieze Foundation who has been in post for two years.

Frieze Projects is a programme of artists’ commissions realised annually at Frieze Art Fair which presents art that regards the particular circumstances of the fair as an opportunity to create work that could not exist elsewhere. Frieze Projects is commissioned by Frieze Foundation in association with Cartier. Frieze Foundation is generously supported by the Culture Programme of the European Commission and Arts Council England.

Frieze Foundation encompasses Frieze Projects, Frieze Talks, Frieze Film, Frieze Music and Frieze Education.

Frieze Projects

Frieze Projects is a unique programme of artists’ commissions realised annually at Frieze Art Fair. This year, it is curated by Sarah McCrory and includes nine specially commissioned projects as well as the Cartier Award and collaborations with our 2010 partner institutions Signal (Sweden) and Vector Association (Romania). The artists commissioned to create these site-specific works for Frieze Art Fair are Ei Arakawa & Karl Holmqvist, Spartacus Chetwynd, Matthew Darbyshire, Shannon Ebner & Dexter Sinister, Gabriel Kuri, Shahryar Nashat, Nick Relph, Annika Ström and Jeffrey Vallance.

This year’s programme of commissioned projects includes elements of performativity – either directly, with performances taking place in and around the fair, or more obliquely, commanding a level of involvement from visitors. Ranging from the spectacular to the intimate, the emphasis is on a direct engagement that will rest upon a series of personal encounters.

The Cartier Award 2010 recipient is Simon Fujiwara. Fujiwara will present Frozen; an installation based on the fictive premise that an ancient lost city has been discovered beneath the site of the fair.

Interviews with all the commissioned artists appear in the Frieze Art Fair Yearbook 2009–2010 which is available to purchase for £19.95 from all good bookshops and online at frieze.com

Frieze Talks is a daily programme of keynote lectures, panel debates and discussions that take place in the auditorium at Frieze Art Fair. It is presented by Frieze Foundation and programmed by the editors of frieze magazine, Jennifer Higgie, Jörg Heiser and Dan Fox.

Panel discussions led by Negar Azimi, Sam Thorne and Jan Verwoert will focus on some of the current debates surrounding contemporary art and theory.

Featuring artists including Thomas Demand, Jeremy Deller and Paulina Olowska, topics will include: ‘Who Owns Images?’, a discussion on how changes in technology affect the ownership of images; ‘Reference vs Reverence’, questioning whether art that is caught in a web of historic references can be a counter-critical model; and ‘Exhibition Making as Activism: Whose Politics’, which will look at work that responds to complex social issues and political situation to consider whether art can be effective activism and vice versa. For ‘What’s So Funny?’, four artists will present their responses to the use of humour in artistic practice. Participants will be Nathaniel Mellors, Aleksandra Mir, Roee Rosen and Olav Westphalen.

Also presented will be a panel discussion,The Medium is the Message, by artist Jeffrey Vallance. A Frieze Projects commission, the panel will feature five mediums each channeling the spirits of famous dead artists. The artists will be asked questions on the role of art in the afterworld and their opinions on the art market in the living world. The panel will be open to audience questions. Jörg Heiser, Co- Editor of frieze magazine, commented: 'Frieze Talks has developed into a gratifying opportunity to engage with some of the best minds in art and culture; we have had great responses both from participants and audiences to the previous installments. We are looking forward to continuing that dialogue over four days of lectures, performances and discussions.'
