Frieze 2006

Regent's Park, London

Art Fair

The Frieze Art Fair takes place every October in Regent's Park, London. It features over 150 of the most exciting contemporary art galleries in the world. As well as these exhibitors, the fair includes specially commissioned artists' projects and an ambitious talks programme. The fourth edition of the fair will take place between 12-15 October, 2006 with a preview day for invited guests on 11 October, 2006.

Frieze Projects 2006

Frieze Projects is the annual curatorial programme presented at Frieze Art Fair. It comprises installation and site specific interventions, film, performance, debate and conversation through Frieze Commissions, Frieze Talks and The Cartier Award.

Frieze Commissions is a high profile opportunity for artists to present new works in and around the fair. The 2006 commissions include works from Lara Almarcegui, Manon de Boer, Pablo Bronstein, Miguel Caldero'n, Bonnie Camplin, Phil Collins, Loris Gre'aud, Mike Nelson, and Apichatpong Weerasethakul. The collaborating institutions in 2006 are Platform Garanti, Istanbul and Project Arts Centre, Dublin.

A daily film programme in The Artists Cinema, presented in partnership with LUX, premiers 35mm artists’ film commissions alongside works selected by guest curators.

Frieze Talks complements the commissions programme, featuring leading art world figures in keynote lectures, conversation and debate. Addressing the prevailing issues in criticism, curating and art production, Frieze Talks take place daily on site in the Guardian Auditorium.

The first recipient of The Cartier Award, Mika Rottenberg, will complete a three month residency and present a new commission at the fair. Cartier's long involvement with contemporary art, primarily through the Cartier Foundation for Contemporary Art in Paris, makes them the ideal partner for this innovative series of commissions.

Frieze Projects: Artists Commissions and Talks 2003-2005, a new book that records the artworks produced at the fair over the past three years, will celebrate all past Frieze Projects artists from Paola Pivi to Martha Rosler. Published with edited transcripts of three years of Frieze Talks, the book will be launched at this year’s fair and will be available from all good bookshops world-wide from October.

Frieze Projects is curated by Polly Staple.

Frieze Projects is supported by Arts Council England, and Culture 2000 programme of the European Union (2005-07), in association with International Studio Programme in Sweden, Stockholm; Stedlijk Museum Bureau Amsterdam; Project Arts Centre, Dublin and Platform Garanti, Istanbul. Frieze Projects is presented in association with Cartier.

For 2006, Frieze Art Fair presents 11 sculptures in Regent's Park's English Garden, two minutes walk to the East of the fair. The Sculpture Park is open to the general public as well as to Frieze Art Fair ticket holders.

Sunn 0))), described by the New York Times as "not unlike listening to an Indian raga in the middle of an earthquake" and by Julian Cope in the Guardian as "taking metal to places you never imagined", are to headline Frieze Music 2006, along with Berlin-based avant-garde rock trio Liars.

Curated by musician Steve Mackey (PULP), Dan Fox (Associate Editor, frieze) and forward thinking promoter and record label Upset the Rhythm, Frieze Music is the off-site music programme for Frieze Art Fair which has won critical acclaim over the past three years. The programme in 2006 is sponsored by Freedom Beer and takes place at the London Hippodrome on 13 and 14 October.
